Risk manager

Paybis is expanding its Risk & Compliance function as we prepare for MiCA and broader regulatory requirements across the EU and beyond. We are hiring a Risk Manager to help monitor and manage risks across the business.

You will work closely with the Head of Risk, Compliance, and Legal teams to ensure that Paybis maintains a strong and scalable risk posture as it grows.

• Maintain and update the company’s risk registers, KRIs, and risk event logs in collaboration with department leads.
• Coordinate incident reporting, ensure timely documentation, and follow through on remediation actions.
• Support risk assessments across customer onboarding, product changes, custodial services, and operations.
• Prepare and maintain risk dashboards, summaries, and materials for internal reviews and regulatory submissions.
• Contribute to MiCA readiness efforts, including documentation of internal controls and risk governance structures.
• Assist with risk-related policy updates, internal communications, and awareness training for teams.
• Collaborate with Product, Legal, Finance, and Operations to monitor and reduce key risk exposures.

• 3–5 years of professional experience in risk management, compliance, audit, or operations, ideally in fintech or crypto.
• Understanding of the EU regulatory landscape, including MiCA, CASP, AMLD5, and relevant EBA/FATF guidelines.
• Experience working with risk registers, control documentation, and incident reporting.
• Familiarity with ICT risk and third-party vendor risk in line with DORA and EBA/GL/2019/02 is a strong advantage.
• Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Proficiency in English (written and verbal); knowledge of a local regulatory language is a plus.
• Bonus: experience with business continuity planning, risk dashboards, or exposure to GRC or compliance tools (e.g., Vanta, ComplyAdvantage).

We value mindset just as much as experience. The right candidate brings:

• Analytical mindset – capable of interpreting data and identifying patterns, dependencies, and areas of concern.
• Proactivity & Accountability – doesn't wait for issues to escalate; takes ownership of risk follow-up and drives resolution.
• Clear communication – can present findings in a structured, simple, and actionable way for technical and non-technical audiences.
• Adaptability – comfortable navigating regulatory changes, product evolution, and fast-paced environments with composure and precision.

• A competitive salary package based on your location and experience
• Performance-based bonus and career growth opportunities toward Senior Risk or Compliance roles
• Real exposure to the evolving crypto regulatory landscape in the EU and beyond
• Flexibility to work remotely, within a fast-moving and supportive international team
• A clear path to increased ownership of risk workstreams over time
• Support for professional development, including legal updates, certifications, and industry events
