Job Description
Shape the Future of Payments with Nexi in 2026
Envision a world where every transaction feels effortless, safe, and connected. At Nexi, we’re leading this transformation, building tools and solutions that redefine how the world pays. By joining us, you’ll play a part in creating the next generation of digital payments in an innovative, supportive, and international environment.
Why This Role Is Right for You
As a Senior Risk Management Specialist, you’ll join a collaborative and forward-thinking Operating Risk team. Together, we work to shape a smart, agile, and future-ready risk framework in a fast-moving fintech environment.
We’re looking for someone who not only understands risk—but can challenge, improve, and rethink it in the context of modern digital services and DORA-driven resilience.
About Your Future Role
In this position, you will:
- Identify and assess operational and ICT risks, with a focus on real business impact and critical services
- Support the development of a practical, DORA-aligned ICT risk & resilience framework
- Keep risk and incident registers alive, meaningful, and actionable (not just up to date)
- Monitor mitigation actions and push for real progress, especially for high and critical risks
- Work on incident management processes (ICT & security), including analysis and lessons learned
- Take part in ICT vendor risk assessments and ongoing supplier oversight
- Co-create and improve policies, standards, and governance, ensuring they actually work in practice
- Drive risk awareness initiatives that engage people—not just inform them
- Collaborate across teams (business, IT, compliance) in a hands-on, partnership-based approach
What Makes You a Great Fit
We’re looking for someone eager to make a difference. Here’s what we value:
Essential Qualifications:
- Experience in risk management, compliance, or audit (financial sector is a plus)
- Strong understanding of operational risk, RCSA, and control frameworks
- Exposure to ICT risk, incident management, or third-party risk
- Familiarity with DORA or similar frameworks (or curiosity and readiness to dive deep fast)
- Ability to think critically, challenge assumptions, and propose better solutions
- Proactive mindset — you don’t wait for problems, you spot and address them early
- Comfort working in a dynamic, evolving environment where priorities shift
- Excellent communication skills and confidence working with diverse stakeholders
- Fluent English
Even if you don’t check every box, your unique potential and willingness to learn could set you apart.
What’s in it for You?
- Attractive salary and a competitive benefits package to reward your expertise and contributions
- Tech equipment: Get the tools you need to succeed, including the latest technology to support your work
- Join an international team: Collaborate with experts from across Europe and bring your ideas to life in a dynamic, global environment
- Grow and develop: Gain hands-on experience and structured training through our PayTech University, designed to accelerate your career and help you reach your full potential
