About the Role

As a Risk Manager, you will be a core member of Capital.com’s risk function, working under the Head of Risk Management. Your primary focus will be the EMI risk framework, with a broader contribution across the investment firm’s entire 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.
