  • Proven leadership experience within a regulated financial institution (EMI, API, PSP, Bank..).
  • Strong understanding of Latvian and EU financial regulations, especially EMI frameworks.
  • Previous involvement in financial licensing process will be considered a strong advantage.
  • Strategic mindset with practical knowledge of compliance, governance, and financial operations.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with founders, regulators, and international stakeholders.
  • Comfortable in a part-time, advisory role.
  • Resident of Latvia.
  • Fluency in Latvian, Russian, and English.

The Employer offers:

  • Flexible part-time engagement (during licensing phase).
  • Competitive remuneration in the €2,000–€5,000/month range, based on profile and level of involvement.
  • B2B contract with potential to transition into employment after licensing approval.
  • Opportunity to shape an EMI from its inception and influence strategic direction.
  • Collaboration with international founders and industry professionals.
  • High trust, autonomy, and long-term growth potential post-license.
