A new generation of investors is emerging: an ambitious, involved workforce. Money is no longer taboo and the pension system is under tremendous pressure.

To fuel this mission, we announced in September 2025 a 25M€ series B, backed by leading investors including PayPal Ventures, Hedosophia, Y Combinator and Speedinvest. We are also backed by world-class founders like Steve Anavi & Alexandre Prot (Qonto founders), Matthieu Rouif (Photoroom), Eric Demuth (CEO of Bitpanda), Axel Weber (former Chairman of UBS and President of the German Central Bank) and Harsh Sinha (CTO at Wise).

About the role

We're looking for someone who sees compliance as a growth enabler, not a blocker. You'll architect compliance policies from scratch, lead license applications (MiCA, PSI), and eventually hire your own team.

This isn't about saying no — it's about finding ways to say yes safely. If you've been waiting for your chance to own compliance at a high-growth fintech and make it a competitive advantage, this is it.

Finary is the leading personal finance app in France — 850k users tracking their money, Series B funded, and expanding into regulated investment products. We move fast and need compliance to move with us.

What you'll do

• Build the compliance operating model — define the function's structure, scope, and priorities from near-scratch in a fast-paced, multi-product fintech

• Lead licensing — drive MiCA and other applications end-to-end, from scoping to audit-readiness to approval

• Enable product growth — find ways to say yes safely, partner with Product to reduce compliance friction without increasing risk

• Handle regulators — build trusted relationships with AMF, ACPR, and European regulators; own regulatory governance and reporting

• Lead and grow the team — take ownership of the existing compliance team, develop talent, and scale headcount as complexity increases
  

What we're looking for

• Business-first mindset — you see compliance as a growth enabler, not a blocker. You start with "how can we make this work?" not "here's why we can't"

• Builder mentality — you've built or significantly expanded a compliance function from scratch, not just maintained an existing one

• Licensing experience — you've led or co-led at least one license application (PSI, PSAN, MiCA) end-to-end

• High-velocity tolerance — you thrive in fast-paced environments, comfortable with ambiguity, can prioritize with incomplete information

• Regulatory depth — deep knowledge of AMF/ACPR frameworks, MiFID II, MiCA, GDPR

• Tech collaboration — can partner effectively with Product and Engineering to build compliance tools and scale processes
  

What we offer

• Competitive salary: €110,000 - €150,000 + meaningful equity

• Leadership role — direct report to CEO and seat on leadership team

• High impact — shape compliance for a company reaching 1M+ users

• Build from scratch — opportunity to architect a compliance function your way

• Growth — hire and lead your own team as the company scales
