Working Student Risk Management

About lemon.markets

We enable anyone to be an investor. Our mission is to grow investing opportunities for all European customers and businesses, providing seamless access to capital markets. By empowering FinTechs, Banks and Wealth Managers to offer investment products, we help create financial well-being for their customers.

lemon.markets provides a Brokerage-as-a-Service platform for simple digital access to capital markets through a single API. Our API-first infrastructure makes launching an investment product customer-centric and compliant. We abstract all complexity for our partners through a well-documented API, a self-service customer operations portal and operating in a clear regulatory framework. Enabling partners to launch in weeks, not months.

We have experienced first-hand that brokerage infrastructure is broken. Building an investment product used to be highly expensive, challenging and cumbersome. We ease this pain by shielding our partners & their customers from the underlying complexity - and with that, we make investing seamlessly accessible to everyone. Because that's exactly what we enjoy, going to places nobody else dares and solving hard problems. This not only creates tons of value when done right, but attracts the smartest minds - because outlier companies are built by exceptional people like you.

• Support internal audit and follow‑up activities
• Perform quantitative and qualitative analysis to support risk assessments
• Gather risk‑related data and transform it into clear, structured insights
• Assist in incident reviews, root‑cause analysis, and remediation tracking
• Work cross‑functionally with engineering, product, and operations teams, as well as other back-office and control functions

You will be successful in this role if:

• You are enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's program in economics, business administration or a quantitative or tech‑related field
• You enjoy working with data, numbers, structures, and analytical problems
• You are curious about risk management beyond a single domain
• You are eager to learn how risk processes work in modern fintech infrastructure
• You communicate clearly and document precisely
• You are proactive, reliable, and detail‑oriented
• You enjoy using or learning tools like Atlassian and Google Suite, SQL, Python, different AI LLMs and tools with SQL, Python or similar a plus

How we take care of you:

• Flexible working hours: We understand that you have university responsibilities. You can plan your working hours around your studies, and we keep meetings to a minimum so you can focus.
• Make a real impact: Your ideas matter. You will help shape how lemon.markets develops and how our community experiences our brand.
• Hybrid work: You can combine working from home with time in the office. We ask working students to join the team onsite a few days per month, and you're welcome to join our team offsites too.
• Open culture: You'll work in an international, supportive team with lots of trust, flat hierarchies, and a collaborative way of working.
