Over the next 6 to 12 months, your focus will be on strengthening risk processes across operational and non-financial risk topics, contributing to financial risk topics such as ICAAP and ILAAP, and improving the structure, transparency, and efficiency of our risk tooling and reporting.

Own the identification, assessment, and documentation of risks across key domains together with the Risk team, business stakeholders, and control owners, so lemon.markets can make informed decisions and maintain a resilient risk profile as the business grows.
Drive risk assessments, control testing, and issue remediation tracking with teams across Product, Engineering, Operations, and Compliance, so we can detect weaknesses early, strengthen controls, and follow through on corrective actions.
Maintain and improve our internal control framework, risk register, and operational risk procedures in close collaboration with the Head of Risk and cross-functional stakeholders, so our framework remains effective, usable, and aligned with business and regulatory needs.
Contribute to risk topics across operational and non-financial risk, financial risk, ICAAP, ILAAP, third-party risk, and security-related assessments, so we can build a broader and more integrated view of risk across the organisation.
Draft clear business and technical requirements for process improvements, tooling enhancements, and automation initiatives with Product, Engineering, and Operations, so we can increase risk transparency, improve reporting quality, and reduce manual work.
Collaborate with auditors, supervisory stakeholders, and internal teams on evidence gathering, incident analysis, root-cause identification, and follow-up actions, so lemon.markets stays audit-ready and continues to improve the effectiveness of its risk management practices.
You bring strong hands-on experience in Risk Management within FinTech, banking, audit, consulting, or a similarly regulated environment, with broad exposure across multiple risk domains.
You have solid knowledge of operational and non-financial risk, internal controls, risk governance, and risk assessments, plus a good understanding of financial risk topics such as credit, market, liquidity, ICAAP, and ILAAP.
You are familiar with the relevant regulatory foundations, including MaRisk, DORA, CRR, IFR, and applicable EBA and ESMA guidelines; knowledge of MiFID, MaComp, and WpHG is a strong plus.
You are confident working with risk management tools, structured documentation, reporting, testing, and validation, and you are comfortable translating requirements into pragmatic process or tooling improvements.
You communicate clearly in English, and you ideally bring professional working proficiency in German to navigate regulatory documents and stakeholder communication in a German market context.
You are hands-on, analytical, and collaborative: you enjoy building, improving, and following through, work well across functions, and stay effective in fast-moving or sometimes ambiguous environments.
