About the role:

• As Senior Liquidity Risk Manager, you will own the design, implementation, and ongoing oversight of Upvest’s liquidity risk framework - a critical function for a BaFin-regulated investment firm operating at scale across Europe.

• You will work closely with Treasury, Finance, and senior leadership to ensure Upvest maintains a robust and compliant liquidity position as we expand across Europe.

• This is a high-impact, highly visible role at the intersection of regulatory compliance, strategic finance, and operational excellence - you’ll be central to how Upvest manages risk at the next stage of growth.

• Risk Governance: Design and implement comprehensive mitigation strategies and robust risk controls across our core business processes.

• Projects & Tooling: Own high-impact risk projects, including the architecture and deployment of next-generation risk models and tools - initially for Financial and Non-Financial domains, with a clear path into the broader universe of Risk Management.

• Stakeholder Communication: Serve as the primary expert for financial risk inquiries, translating complex quantitative findings for senior leadership, external partners, and regulators (BaFin).

• Leadership & Collaboration: Mentor junior team members and drive cross-departmental initiatives (IT GRC, Outsourcing, Finance, Compliance, Operations) to scale our risk infrastructure.

What you bring:

• Experience: 5+ years in risk management or treasury within a regulated bank or financial institution.

• Regulatory Expertise: Strong understanding of European/BaFin regulatory frameworks (CRR, LCR, NSFR, ILAAP, MaRisk).

• Technical & Modeling Skills: Hands-on experience building or operating quantitative risk models and cash flow forecasting tools (SQL/Python skills are a plus).

• Project & Cross-Functional Power: Proven track record of driving complex projects across domains like IT GRC, Outsourcing, or Compliance.

• Leadership & Communication: Exceptional ability to mentor junior colleagues and articulate complex financial risks clearly to C-level executives and external partners.

• Languages: Fluency in English; German language skills are a strong advantage.

It’s great if you have:

• Experience bridging the gap between Financial and Non-Financial/Operational Risk frameworks.

• Prior experience in a high-growth fintech scale-up environment.
