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
