This is a classic operational and administrative leadership role. The ideal candidate combines strong operational management skills with a credible regulatory track record in the Polish or broader EU financial market and is comfortable acting as a public face of the company.

- Coordinate with headquarters to deploy IT and operational systems
- Ensure local operational readiness and scalability of systems
- Establish and optimize local banking and payment infrastructure
Regulatory & Compliance
- Oversee the process of obtaining tied agent status with the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF)

- Ensure full compliance with Polish and EU regulatory requirements, including AML/KYC, data protection, and client onboarding standards
- Coordinate with legal and compliance teams to implement local regulatory frameworks

- Promote professionalism, integrity, and a culture of regulatory and operational excellence
- Ensure effective internal communication and collaboration across departments and with European headquarters
- Proven experience in administrative/operational management (COO-type profile) within an investment/brokerage company — sales leadership experience is not required and a more academic, governance-oriented background is preferred
- Prior regulatory approval experience in Poland or another EU jurisdiction — e.g., previously approved as a branch manager, tied agent director, or director of a company holding an investment firm license, a banking license, or a payment institution license
- Strong public presence: comfortable with media, conferences, and public speaking
