As Risk Manager, you will be a core member of Capital.com’s risk function, working under the Head of Risk Management, with a primary focus on the EMI risk framework and a broader contribution across the investment firm’s risk function. Responsibilities: EMI Risk Framework: Drive the build-out of the EMI risk management framework, including risk appetite, risk register, policies, and the RCSA cycle, within the direction set by the Head of Risk. Own-Funds and Prudential Reporting: Own the EMI own-funds calculation and capital monitoring, and prepare and submit prudential returns to the CBC on an ongoing basis. Safeguarding Oversight: Build and maintain the EMI safeguarding framework, monitor client fund segregation or insurance arrangements, and ensure ongoing compliance with applicable safeguarding requirements. Payment and Operational Risk: Identify and monitor risks specific to the EMI business model, including settlement risk, fraud risk, liquidity risk, and operational resilience for payment processing activities. ICARA and Capital Adequacy: Contribute to the IFR/IFD ICARA process for the investment firm, with particular ownership of quantitative elements: K-factor calculations, stress testing, capital planning scenarios, and Pillar 2 assessments. Quantitative Risk Analysis: Produce quantitative risk analysis, metrics, and modelling to support Risk Committee and Board reporting, turning data into clear, decision-ready outputs. Regulatory Horizon Scanning: Support the Head of Risk in tracking developments across CySEC, CBC, ESMA, EBA, and relevant EU legislation, with impact assessments when new rules land. Cross-Functional Coordination: Work closely with Compliance, Finance, Dealing, Legal, and Technology to ensure risk outputs are integrated into governance processes and escalated appropriately. Requirements: Demonstrable experience in risk management within a regulated financial services environment — investment firm, payments institution, bank, or equivalent. Solid grounding in the payments and e-money regulatory framework, covering prudential requirements, safeguarding obligations, and regulatory reporting for payment institutions and EMIs. Strong quantitative skills: comfortable building and owning risk models, capital adequacy calculations, stress testing, and statistical analysis. Familiarity with MiFID II / IFR / IFD prudential requirements for investment firms, including ICARA concepts and K-factor methodology; prior broker experience or a clear ability to take ownership quickly. Ability to produce high-quality, regulator-ready deliverables independently: risk frameworks, prudential reports, board papers, and policy documents that are accurate and precise. Structured analytical thinker, able to work across multiple regulated entities with different regulatory regimes simultaneously without losing precision on either. CySEC Advanced certification or direct CBC supervisory exposure is a strong advantage. Prior DORA implementation experience is a strong advantage. Fluency in English; Greek language skills are an advantage. What you will get in return: • Competitive Salary: We believe great work deserves great pay!
