Posted 13 hours 7 minutes ago by Remitly Europe Limited
Remitly Europe Limited (REL) is authorised and regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland under PSD2, passporting payment services across the EEA as part of Remitly's global mission. We are looking for a risk professional to join REL's second-line risk function as a Risk Associate, reporting to the Chief Risk Officer. This role is hands on and sits at the heart of REL's Enterprise Risk Management programme, providing exposure across the full spectrum of ERM activity, from risk registers and RCSA cycles to regulatory horizon scanning and board level governance reporting.
Responsibilities- Maintain and coordinate REL's core ERM activities, including the enterprise risk register and the RCSA programme across domains such as Consumer Protection, Operational Risk, Outsourcing, AML/CFT and ICT/Cyber, and the operational risk incident register, ensuring all frameworks are accurate, version controlled and audit ready in line with CBI regulatory expectations.
- Support governance reporting by preparing risk dashboards, KRI monitoring reports and risk & controls committee papers for the CRO and Risk & Controls Committee, collating and validating MI data from across the business and maintaining trackers for governance actions and decisions.
- Assist in embedding consumer protection, outsourcing and third party risk management into REL's frameworks in line with the Consumer Protection Code 2025, EBA outsourcing guidelines and DORA obligations, and support regulatory monitoring by summarising CBI, EBA and ESMA publications for the CRO and maintaining a regulatory change and horizon scanning log.
- 2+ years of experience in a risk, compliance, audit or governance role within a regulated financial services environment; experience in a CBI regulated entity or payments/e money firm is advantageous but not essential.
- A working knowledge of ERM concepts, including risk registers, RCSAs, KRIs and risk appetite, alongside awareness of the CBI regulatory framework for payment institutions; candidates with a strong interest in developing this knowledge will be equally considered.
- Proficiency in AI tooling (Claude); experience with GRC tools or data visualisation is a plus.
- A proactive, curious mindset with the ability to manage multiple workstreams, collaborate across functions and a genuine commitment to regulatory compliance and consumer protection standards.
- Base salary range: €67,200 - €84,000.
- Equity is part of the total compensation plan; equity participation is announced during the interview process.
- Full medical benefits and additional financial benefits are provided.
- 34 days of vacation (including public holidays).
- Group private medical insurance.
- Group pension with 6% contribution and group income protection.
- Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP).
- Mental Health & Family Forming Benefits.
- Learning and Development Opportunities.
