We’re looking for fintech enthusiasts to join us in creating the financial infrastructure of tomorrow. We’re building the first European Investment API to enable any financial institution offering a wide range of efficient and transparent investment products, such as stocks and ETFs in nominal, portfolio, and fractional form. Our mission and vision is to make investing as easy as spending money.

We’re based in Berlin but are also open to hiring remotely in Germany or Estonia for this role. If you're currently based elsewhere but would like to move to Germany, we’re happy to support your relocation.

This role offers you the opportunity to:

• Lead the onboarding of Europe’s top Fintechs onto Upvest’s Investment API.

• Play a key role in establishing Upvest as the category leader in investment infrastructure across Europe.

• Take full ownership of complex client launches, guiding them from contract signing to successful go-live.

• Drive execution with a strong outcome-focused approach, ensuring clear prioritization and communication.

• Navigate complex challenges with a bias for speed and simplicity, applying an MVP mindset to deliver impactful solutions.

• Manage high-stakes client situations with confidence, focusing on problem-solving and long-term success.

Shape client collaboration and communication

Your role goes beyond project management—you’ll build strong, long-term client relationships and set new standards for communication. By understanding clients' needs, you'll help them launch successfully while driving insights that enhance Upvest’s product development. Your leadership will foster collaboration across teams, ensuring the best experience for our clients.

• Strong project and people leadership skills, with the ability to communicate effectively with different stakeholder groups

• A client-first mindset and a pragmatic approach to solving problems

• A structured and proactive approach, anticipating challenges early and addressing them with foresight

• The ability to work autonomously, take ownership, and drive initiatives within or close to your area of responsibility

It’s great if you:

• Have experience working in the financial industry or any other regulated environment

Why Upvest?

• We're working on solving a hard problem: fixing the European securities financial infrastructure that empowers more people to be able to invest. You have the opportunity to contribute to this change.

• We invest in you. From access to a personal coach, development budget and plenty of opportunities to grow in your role.

• We take hiring seriously with a strong focus on keeping a high bar when interviewing (equally important is that we hire decent people, who are passionate about their craft and helping us achieve our shared mission).

• While we're not quite fully-remote, we are committed to being a flexible employer, as we understand you don't have to be in the office to do your best work.

• We live a culture of empowerment, trust (that we hire the best people and get out of their way) and openness (there's a greater advantage in sharing information than keeping it to ourselves).

Our values:

• Learn and grow. We aim high to shape our future. We give and request honest feedback knowing that we develop together. Progression over Perfection.

• Team first. We make it easy for others. We value our differences and are open to others' opinions. We win and celebrate together! Team over Egos.

• Own the outcome. Whether we win or we lose, we stand together. We are proactive and get the job done. Outcome over Process.

• Tell the story. We always start with the why. We share knowledge to empower others. Transparency over Complexity.
