We're building the operational core of a fintech company currently going through licensing with the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) — Payment Institution / EMI status.
We need a Project Manager to own the entire licensing process from the inside: coordinating lawyers, compliance, and finance; tracking every document and deadline; and later leading the product's operational launch.
This role requires, without exception: 📍 Full professional fluency in Polish — you'll be the one talking to KNF, lawyers, and Polish government bodies directly, in Polish 🗣️ Conversational English 📄 Legal right to work in Poland and readiness for full-time employment under a Polish employment contract (umowa o pracę) 📌 On-site or hybrid in Warsaw — this is not a remote role.
What you'll actually do: ▪️ Coordinate the KNF licensing package across legal, compliance, and finance ▪️ Track internal AML/KYC, audit, and compliance procedures through to sign-off ▪️ Be the connective tissue between departments as we build the team from scratch ▪️ Lead the operational launch once the licence is granted
Nice to have: prior experience in fintech, banking, or another regulated industry; experience working directly with a financial regulator.
