Vendor Delivery Manager

Deblock · Porto, Portugal · Full-time · Posted 2026-09-22

Workplace: on_site

Department: Operations

Description

Deblock is building out its operational resilience capability, and third-party and ICT risk sits at the centre of it.
In this role you'll strengthen and scale the framework that governs how we select, assess and monitor the providers our services depend on, under DORA, and the wider regulatory expectations that apply to a regulated EMI and crypto-asset service provider.

You'll work across Compliance, Risk, Technology and Operations, turning regulatory requirements into controls that people actually run day to day. The work rewards someone who can hold a supervisor's perspective and a pragmatic one at the same time: the framework has to stand up to scrutiny and survive contact with a company that is still growing fast.

We want to revolutionise the FinTech industry. Create a new paradigm. And we need the best minds to do it 🧠 🚀

🧑‍💻 What You'll Be Working On

Strengthening our third-party and ICT risk framework, and the policies, procedures and governance standards that sit underneath it
Running due diligence on providers across operational, ICT, compliance and financial risk, and challenging assessments where the evidence doesn't hold
Owning the register of outsourcing and ICT third-party arrangements, and the regulatory information it has to carry
Monitoring provider performance, incidents and concentration risk on an ongoing basis, and escalating what matters
Building the KRIs, dashboards and reporting that give management and the board a real view of third-party exposure
Mapping critical or important functions and the dependencies behind them, including exit strategies and substitutability
Supporting DORA implementation across contractual requirements, the register of information, and incident and resilience testing obligations

Requirements

Assuming you want this section pushed further from the original shape — here it is restructured under themes, which changes how it reads on the page more than any amount of reworded bullets.

🧑‍💻 What You'll Be Working On

Understanding what we depend on

Mapping our critical and important functions and the provider dependencies sitting behind them, including substitutability and exit planning
Keeping the register of outsourcing and ICT third-party arrangements complete, current and carrying the information regulators expect to find in it

Deciding who we work with

Assessing providers across operational, ICT, compliance and financial risk before we commit — and pushing back when the evidence doesn't support the conclusion
Making sure contractual arrangements carry the provisions DORA requires, and that new arrangements clear governance before they go live

Watching what happens next

Tracking provider performance, incidents and concentration risk once arrangements are running, and escalating what genuinely needs a decision
Turning that into KRIs and reporting that give management and the board a real picture of third-party exposure rather than a compliance artefact

Making it hold

Evolving the policies, procedures and governance standards that keep all of the above repeatable as we grow

Supporting the wider DORA programme, including the register of information and incident and resilience testing obligations

Benefits

Competitive salary and a stock options sign-on bonus
The best tech for your job
30 days of paid holidays
Possibility to work from home in a hybrid setting
Ability to work abroad for 4 months a year

Deblock and Cover Genius partner to build protection into everyday banking.

Deblock and Cover Genius partner to build protection into everyday banking. Bancassurance has traditionally meant a brochure at the branch, a separate application, and a second set of terms. Neobank customers rarely visit a branch. They bank in their app, and a protection journey that sits outside it asks them to leave. Cover Genius is partnering with Deblock to change that. Deblock, a fintech and neobank that bridges traditional euro banking with a self-custodial crypto wallet, now includes protection at no extra cost, powered by Cover Genius. What Deblock launched. Standard (free) account holders get cover on eligible card purchases, included from account creation with no additional subscription. Premium account holders also get travel insurance and rental car coverage that stays active as long as the account is active. What Cover Genius does for Deblock. Cover Genius is the infrastructure powering the embedded protection offering, and XCover administers the policy. Deblock integrates cover directly into its debit card offering, and Cover Genius provides the protection platform that makes that integration possible. Three shifts that define bancassurance 2.0. Card-linked coverage has existed for years. Bancassurance 2.0 changes how the cover is built: into the account itself, activated by everyday use, and matched to the customer's tier. Protection follows everyday use. Coverage stays active with at least one card payment a month, so protection and card activity move together. Partners will want to measure how that moves engagement. Protection comes with the account. Standard customers have cover from the day the account opens, with no add-on to buy. Protection scales with the tier. Standard covers eligible card purchases. Premium adds travel insurance and rental car cover, which gives Deblock a clear step between tiers. Daniel Poole, VP, Commerce, Banking & Platforms at Cover Genius, said customers today want "more value and protection built into the products they already use," and that "embedded protection should be a natural part of everyday financial life." What it means for banks and neobanks. The lesson from Deblock: protection works best where customers already are, on the card they already use. Banks and neobanks building their own protection strategy can start there. Talk to its partnerships team about embedding protection.

France's Deblock picks up €30 million for unified euro and crypto banking platform

France's Deblock picks up €30 million for unified euro and crypto banking platform. Crypto-banking startup Deblock, a French platform that combines everyday banking with on-chain self-custody wallets, has secured €30 million in Series A funding to fuel their expansion across Europe, starting with Germany as its second core market. The round was led by Speedinvest, alongside CommerzVentures and Latitude. Existing investors 20VC, Headline, Chalfen Ventures, and Kraken Ventures also participated in this round. "With a strong footprint in our home market France, Germany is the perfect starting point for our ambitious European expansion," says Jean Meyer, co-founder and CEO of Deblock. "Our goal is to create a clear and secure way to use both euros and digital assets in everyday life - and these markets are critical to defining the future of on-chain banking in Europe." In 2025, several European startups operating in similar crypto-banking and adjacent digital-asset infrastructure have raised new funding - painting a picture of the sector Deblock is operating in. Tangany (Germany/Munich) secured €10 million to expand its regulated digital-asset custody and wallet-as-a-service infrastructure for banks and FinTechs. Agio Ratings (UK/London) raised €5 million to scale its risk-ratings and digital-asset support tools for financial institutions. OpenTrade (UK/London) added €6.1 million to broaden access to real-world-asset-backed stablecoin yield products through its infrastructure platform. Combined, these announcements total approximately €21.1 million in 2025. In this environment, Deblock's €30 million Series A positions it within a clear European trend of FinTechs integrating traditional financial services with on-chain capabilities. The presence of German-based Tangany is notable given Deblock's own expansion plans into Germany, suggesting an active market for regulated digital-asset services. "What stood out to us was how focused and fast the Deblock team executes," adds Tom Filip Lesche, Partner at Speedinvest. "The second generation of financial services was defined by neobanks that were mobile-first but still built on legacy rails. Deblock represents the next wave: On-chain platforms that are programmable and user-controlled, harnessing banking-grade compliance, modern fintech UX and Blockchain architecture." Founded in 2024 by Aaron Beck, Adriana Restrepo, Jean Meyer, and Mario Eguiluz - former executives at Revolut and Ledger - Deblock is reportedly the first current account to integrate a true crypto wallet, combining the simplicity of modern banking with the innovation of Web3 - offering this service to their 300,000 clients. By unifying a euro current account with a personal, self-owned crypto wallet, Deblock lets users hold and use both fiat and digital assets within a single platform. This enables seamless everyday payments, investments, savings with Vaults, and direct access to decentralised financial DeFi services - all while maintaining full control over their funds in contrast to other custodial platforms. Paul Morgenthaler, Managing Partner with CommerzVentures adds: "By giving users full control of their digital assets in a traditional current account, Deblock bridges the worlds of crypto and traditional banking. No complexity, full compliance - and ready for the mainstream." Deblock is currently targeting Germany to bring its fully on-chain banking solution to a broader European audience. The company will strengthen its German team and invest in product localisation and German-speaking customer support operations. The company outlines that it is Germany's strong adoption of digital financial services and established regulatory framework which make the German market a natural next step on Deblock's European expansion path. "Deblock makes crypto flow seamlessly alongside the money consumers already use within a single, innovative app. We've been waiting for an app like this to be built for over a decade, and the team's pace and precision are exceptional," says Julian Rowe, Partner at Latitude.
