About Unlimit

Unlimit is the global financial infrastructure for the borderless agentic economy. Designed to bridge the gap between fragmented local markets and the future of autonomous commerce, Unlimit provides the programmable operating layer for the world's most ambitious businesses.

Through an integrated technology stack, the platform unifies global payment acceptance, programmable financial accounts, and digital asset rails into a singular financial layer. By mapping hyper-local payment ecosystems directly into its architecture, Unlimit enables businesses to move value and settle transactions instantly across continents.

Built on decades of hard-won regulatory depth and an extensive global license portfolio, the platform provides direct access to a massive global infrastructure. With major hubs in London, San Francisco, Singapore, São Paulo, and Mexico City, Unlimit is building the infrastructure that makes global expansion a matter of code, not geography.

Your Impact

As a Risk Manager you will own the risk management framework for Unlimit's business. You will be the connective tissue between regulatory expectation and day-to-day operational reality, ensuring the company operates safely, compliantly, and at the speed the business demands.

You will play a critical role in maintaining and evolving the second line of defence — designing risk methodologies, monitoring exposures, and giving the Board and senior management a clear, honest view of the risks the business carries. Working at the intersection of finance, technology, and digital-asset infrastructure, you will help shape how a fast-scaling fintech manages risk.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for a rigorous risk professional with a track record in regulated financial services, and deep familiarity with the Cypriot and EU regulatory landscape.

Proven experience in risk management within a regulated financial institution — ideally covering both crypto/digital-asset (CASP) and e-money or payments activities

Strong working knowledge of the MiCA, PSD2, EMD2 and related national law

Solid understanding of the full risk taxonomy across fintech business: operational, credit, liquidity, market, conduct, technology/ICT (DORA), and financial-crime (AML/CFT) risk

Experience designing and maintaining risk management frameworks, risk appetite statements, capital and liquidity assessments, and risk registers

Ability to translate regulatory requirements into practical controls, policies, and monitoring across digital-asset custody, settlement, and safeguarding of client funds

Strong analytical skills, with the ability to quantify exposures and present risk clearly to Boards, regulators, and non-specialist stakeholders

Experience working in fast-paced, high-growth, and globally distributed organisations, balancing control with commercial pace

Ability to collaborate cross-functionally with compliance, finance, product, engineering, and operations teams

What We Offer

The chance to shape a risk function, embedding risk management as a genuine enabler of sustainable business growth

Exposure to the frontier of regulated finance — working across crypto-asset rails and e-money infrastructure

A truly international team and a company culture that thrives on pioneering new markets, where innovation, ambition, and results are recognised and rewarded
