Digital Bank Director

About the Company

Freedom24 is a brokerage and investment company headquartered in Cyprus, with representative offices in France, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Bulgaria, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spaiт and Poland. The company provides clients with access to global stock exchanges, investment products, and brokerage services across the European market. We are currently launching a new strategic project — a digital bank in France.

About the Project

This is a greenfield project: there is no product, team, license, or infrastructure yet — all of it needs to be built from the ground up. We are looking for a director who will take full end-to-end ownership of the project: from strategy, licensing and team building to the first customer and scaling.

Key Responsibilities

• Leading the turnkey launch of a digital bank: from concept to operational go-live:
• Product and operating strategy: retail products, SME, payment services, cards, online channels.
• Fintech architecture: designing the architecture and managing development of the bank's digital platform.
• Licensing: managing the banking license application process — liaising with the regulator, consultants, and auditors.
• Operating model: building risk management, compliance, KYC/AML, and customer service processes.
• Team: building and leading the team, hiring key executives and experts.
• Finance and planning: financial and strategic planning, budget formation and execution control.
• Representation: representing the company to regulators, partners, and investors.
• Negotiations and partnerships: negotiating with vendors, fintech providers, and payment systems.
