About the Opportunity
N26 — Europe's leading digital bank with 8+ million customers across 24 markets — is looking for a Senior Manager / Team Lead to guide a team of four specialists in its Non-Financial Risk Management function. This is a high-impact role: design, scale, and maintain a robust Internal Control System (ICS) at one of the most ambitious digital banks in Europe.
The Role & Impact
You'll oversee risk and control assessments (RCSA), enhance risk reporting, and partner across functions, product lines, and international markets. Your team evaluates internal control mechanisms and proactively mitigates non-financial risks — directly shaping how safely N26 grows.
In This Role, You Will
- Develop & Enhance the ICS: Continuously design, build, and refine N26's internal control systems to effectively mitigate non-financial risks, improving control structures to support growth and compliance
- Own RCSA: Lead risk and control self-assessments across the organisation, ensuring they stay sharp, evidence-based, and actionable
- Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work with departments across N26, gathering assessments and driving control improvements into business processes
- Elevate Risk Reporting: Enhance how non-financial risk is measured, escalated, and communicated to leadership
What You Need to Be Successful
- Bachelor's or Master's in Business Administration, Economics, or a related field
- 8+ years in Non-Financial Risk Management (RCSA, controls frameworks, risk appetite) in banking or financial services
- Sound knowledge of Internal Control Systems and industry standards
- Strong analytical and conceptual skills, with an entrepreneurial, get-things-done attitude
- Fluency in English (German is a plus)
For a risk professional ready to lead, this is a chance to build the control backbone of a digital bank that keeps redefining the industry.
