Senior Associate - Operations & Regulatory Infrastructure
ABOUT FINMID
At finmid, we’re building infrastructure that integrates access to capital for SMEs directly into the platforms they use daily. We leverage technology, data, and strategic partnerships to deliver financing solutions that significantly outperform traditional financial services - offering SMEs faster, simpler, and more transparent access to funding.
As we expand across Europe, our Latvian subsidiary, licensed as a European Crowdfunding Service Provider by the Bank of Latvia, plays a critical role. Our stack combines regulated financial infrastructure with modern software engineering. The gap between those two things is exactly where this role lives.
THE ROLE
Build the operational infrastructure for a regulated lending product - from merchant onboarding and credit lifecycle through to partner integration and regulatory reporting. You'll design the processes, automation, and controls that make finmid's product work reliably at scale, treating regulatory requirements as design constraints rather than a separate workstream. The goal: everything runs smoothly, automatically, where possible, with clear visibility into what's happening.
You'll do this as an early member of a small, high-output team in Riga, working directly with engineering, legal, and product across Europe. You'll have a lot of autonomy, but you won't be on your own - this is a deeply cross-functional role, and you'll be embedded with the people building the product.
The problems you'll work on don't have established playbooks yet. You'll need intellectual range: the ability to move between regulatory text, process design, software tools, and management reporting without losing the thread.
What You Will Work On
- Operational Process Design: Take messy inputs, regulations, partner contracts, product decisions, and credit policy, and turn them into clear operational specs that engineering and ops can build against. Define what must happen, when, triggered by what, and how you’d know...
