• Build the Vilnius team, including compliance, operations and control functions.
• Select and negotiate with execution, custody, fund and banking partners.
• Own the business plan, financial projections, capital plan and budget.
• Launch the investment platform in Lithuania and roll it out across the EEA.
• Set up governance, policies and controls that meet EU and Lithuanian requirements.
• Work with group leadership on product, engineering and growth.
• Report to the board and take ownership of business and regulatory outcomes.

What We’re Looking For

• Generalist background in consulting, investment banking, start-ups, private equity or venture capital.
• Experience building or scaling a business, ideally in financial services or fintech.
• Strong problem-solving skills and business judgment.
• Ability to learn regulation quickly and work credibly with regulators.
• Strong ownership and execution skills.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with boards, regulators, partners and teams.
• Comfortable working across product, operations, finance and compliance.
• A clean record and good reputation, suitable for regulatory approval as a senior manager.
• Based in Lithuania, or open to relocating to Lithuania.
• Curious, resourceful, and driven to build.

Nice to Have

• An existing working relationship with the Bank of Lithuania.
• Experience with MiFID II, brokerage, wealth management or fund distribution.
• Experience building or running a regulated financial business in the EU.

This Role Is Not For

• People who only want to attend meetings.
• Candidates who cannot follow up aggressively and professionally.
• Those who need fixed scope and slow timelines.
• People who avoid messy cross-functional problems.
• People who produce long updates without clear decisions or next actions.
• People who see regulation as someone else’s problem.

Location

This role is based in Vilnius, Lithuania. This is a hybrid role. You are expected to work from our Vilnius office at least 3 days per week.

You must be a European citizen or already hold a valid right to work in Lithuania. We are not able to offer visa sponsorship for this role.
