To support the launch of a new multi-asset trading platform—spanning stocks, derivatives, and digital assets—they are expanding their Frankfurt-based compliance team. As part of this long-term strategic growth, they are hiring an experienced Compliance Manager to take ownership of the EU regulatory framework and work at the forefront of crypto and capital markets innovation.
This is a unique opportunity to work within a well-capitalised, professionally governed organisation, while playing a key role in building out a new product from the ground up.
Your Role & Impact
As Compliance Manager, you will report to the Head of Risk & Compliance and lead EU compliance efforts across day-to-day operations and strategic product initiatives. You will help shape regulatory practices for both traditional investment products and emerging crypto offerings.
You will collaborate with senior stakeholders across Risk, Legal, Product, and Operations, acting as a trusted advisor to the business as it scales in Europe.
Key Responsibilities
* Develop, maintain, and enhance compliance policies in line with MiFID II, MiCAR, MaRisk, and MaComp
* Advise on new product launches, including regulatory implications for crypto assets, derivatives, and securities trading

* Monitor outsourced services and ensure effective oversight controls are in place
* Lead or support internal and external audits, implementing continuous improvement initiatives
* Manage complaint-handling procedures and ensure adherence to regulatory standards
* Embed a compliance-first culture by partnering with cross-functional teams on regulatory matters
What We’re Looking For
You bring a mix of regulatory depth, business insight, and the ability to translate regulation into effective operational practices. You are excited by the opportunity to own and shape a compliance function in a fast-evolving market, backed by the stability of a global institution.
Required Experience:
* At least 5 years of experience in compliance, regulatory policy, or advisory, ideally within a regulated financial institution, consulting firm, or FinTech
* Proven knowledge of MiFID II, MiCAR, and German regulatory frameworks (BaFin, MaRisk, MaComp)
* Familiarity with crypto regulations, securities trading, or capital markets infrastructure
* Experience drafting policies, managing regulator interactions, and advising senior management
* Strong communication skills and comfort working across departments and jurisdictions
* Strategic mindset paired with the ability to execute operational compliance initiatives
