YOUR IMPACT

Mollie's Risk team is growing, and this role sits at the center of that growth. You'll work closely with product teams as they build and enhance offerings like card issuing, bank accounts, instant transactions, and new payment methods, making sure every new product holds up against regulations without adding risk for our customers. You'll also screen new tools and vendors entering the organisation, owning the security angle (think authorization and authentication) while working alongside Compliance on every new product.

As a senior member of a small team, you'll bring technical depth and help colleagues earlier in their risk careers build theirs too, especially as AI becomes a bigger part of how Mollie operates. This isn't a role for checklist followers. You'll work independently, without rigid frameworks, and help shape how security risk is handled as Mollie's footprint keeps expanding.

- Foster a strong risk culture across the entire organisation; support a growing organisation in all relevant areas,

- Collaborate with stakeholders to achieve successful outcomes in internal/external audits and certifications (PCI-DSS, SOC2, etc.),

- Translate complex regulations into actionable guidance, championing a risk culture that balances commercial success with compliance.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING:

- Experience - 7-10 years of relevant experience

- Technical comfort - at ease with different technology platforms and can dive into technical documentation and system architectures. Working understanding of engineering, security technologies, culture, tools and best practices.

- Communication skills - excellent written and verbal abilities to explain risk decisions to both technical and business stakeholders;

- Can do attitude and creative problem solver - the second line needs to be creative in finding solutions to maintaining security in a growing organization

- Customer focus - always consider customer impact when making security and risk decisions;

- Inquisitive approach - ready to experiment, always looking for better ways to solve problems. Curiosity towards new technologies (AI included) is highly appreciated.

Strong preference for:

- Certified CISSP or CISM, and/or cloud certification (GCP), network or other relevant security and technical certification

- Advanced University Degree in Information Technology, or another relevant technological study
