Risk Manager - Fintech

Mews has been transforming hospitality since 2012, building a connected hospitality cloud that powers thousands of properties worldwide. As part of this journey, we’re scaling Mews' FinTech offering and we’re looking for a Risk Manager to build and own our enterprise risk framework from the ground up. This is a senior, hands-on role based in the Netherlands, reporting directly to our Chief Risk & Compliance Officer (CRCO). You’ll sit at the intersection of payments, regulation and product, working closely with first-line teams, the MLRO and Management Board. If you’re currently managing a slice of the risk universe (e.g. financial or operational risk) and want full enterprise-wide ownership in a greenfield environment, this is for you.

✅ Your mission, should you choose to accept it: 

🤝️ You’ll be a great fit if you bring a few of the below with you: 

• 7+ years in risk management within financial services, fintech or payments, ideally in the Dutch / broader European market.


• Strong understanding of the regulatory landscape.


• Hands-on experience designing and operating ERM and internal control frameworks, ideally in a tech-driven or high-growth environment.


• Background from fintech, payments or regulated FS is strongly preferred.


• Exceptional communication skills – you can translate complex risk/reg requirements into simple, actionable guidance for non-experts.


• People-focused: you’re comfortable spending a lot of time with stakeholders, asking questions, and constructively challenging how things are done.


• Pragmatic and calm under pressure: you don’t escalate every issue; you can distinguish noise from real risk and propose balanced, creative solutions.


• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; able to work independently, structure ambiguity and make sound judgment calls.
