We’re working exclusively with an innovative, BaFin-regulated FinTech in Munich, currently scaling its operations across Continental Europe. With rapid growth and a strong regulatory foundation, the company is now looking to hire a Regional Compliance Manager to lead and oversee its European compliance function.

This is a high-impact, strategic hire, ideal for someone with deep regulatory expertise, strong familiarity with BaFin, and the ability to guide cross-border compliance operations in a fast-paced fintech environment.

The Role:

You will work closely with internal stakeholders, regulators, and legal partners to ensure the firm’s operations remain fully aligned with both German and European financial regulation.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead compliance strategy and implementation across Continental Europe.
• Act as the primary liaison with BaFin and other relevant regulators.
• Monitor, implement, and develop internal compliance controls, policies, and procedures aligned with PSD2, GwG, ZAG, and other applicable German and EU frameworks.
• Collaborate with legal, product, and operations teams to ensure regulatory compliance across new product launches and market entries.
• Provide internal training on regulatory requirements and foster a culture of compliance.
• Oversee regulatory filings, audits, and communications with financial authorities.

Key Requirements:

• 3+ years of experience in compliance within a regulated financial services or fintech environment.
• Strong understanding of EU financial services regulation.
• Fluency in German and English is essential.
• Legal background (e.g., law degree or significant legal exposure in a regulatory context) is desirable.
• Proven ability to build scalable compliance structures in a high-growth setting.
• Confident communicator and trusted advisor to both internal teams and external regulators.

Why This Role?

• Join a fast-growing FinTech with a strong compliance-first culture.
• Strategic, high-visibility role with regional ownership and autonomy.
• Work closely with senior leadership and contribute to international expansion.
