We’re looking for fintech enthusiasts to join us in creating the financial infrastructure of tomorrow. We’re building the first European Investment API to enable any financial institution to offer a broad range of investment products in their apps. Our view is backed by some of Europe's largest tech VCs (Earlybird, Notion Capital, Partech, HV Capital, ABN AMRO Ventures) by renowned fintech entrepreneurs (including Maximilian Tayenthal, founder of N26, and Felix Haas, founder of IDnow) and Bessemer Venture Partners in the USA.

At Upvest, our vision is **to make investing as easy as spending money**. By enabling any business to offer investment opportunities, our goal is to empower anyone to invest. Today, we count 100+ talented people from over 20 different countries.

- Establish and maintain a clear overview of the operations relevant KPIs
- Report regularly to senior leadership within Upvest
- Define clear and informed requirements for further development and improvement of our operations tooling
- Work hand-in-hand with Product to keep advancing the level of automation and build the new industry standards in investment operations processing
- Effectively manage, coach and support the team incl. hiring, role definitions, progression planning and regular performance reviews
- Continuously optimize our daily operations and improve upon our standard processes and procedures

- 5+ years of experience leading teams in a modern brokerage middle-/back-office
- Detailed understanding of brokerage and custody bank processes
- Knowledge of neo brokerage and their infrastructure set ups
- A strong team builder and proven people manager
- Pragmatic approach to solving complex problems in a regulated environment

- Ability to work in a dynamic environment while keeping strong focus on getting things done
- Knowledge / Experience in either a) (German) regulatory set up (MARisk, WPHG, KWG etc.) or b) European expansion of back office operations (i.e. transaction taxes, localisation of custody and tax requirements etc)

**Why Upvest?**
- We're working on solving a hard problem: fixing the European securities financial infrastructure that empowers more people to be able to invest. You have the opportunity to contribute to this change.
- We invest in you. From access to a personal coach, development budget and plenty of opportunities to grow in your role.
- We take hiring seriously with a strong focus on keeping a high bar when interviewing (equally important is that we hire decent people, who are passionate about their craft and helping us achieve our shared mission).
- While we're not quite fully-remote, we are committed to being a flexible employer, as we understand you don't have to be in the office to do your best work.
- We live a culture of empowerment, trust (that we hire the best
