We're curious, hard-working innovators who want to challenge the norm and build what's next.\nWhy we exist, and where we’re headed:\nOur Mission: Redefining how the world interacts with value.\nOur Vision: A world without financial friction\nOur Purpose: To empower everyone to access and move value\nAt Yapily, we’re building a powerful, scalable, and secure open banking infrastructure that redefines how the world interacts with value.\nOur open banking platform powers leading companies, such as Adyen, Intuit QuickBooks, and Google. By delivering payment initiation, bank data access, and pre-built products, we enable businesses to innovate fast and push the boundaries of financial technology.\nAs an early pioneer of open banking, we’re actively shaping the future of this industry with unrivalled expertise and a relentless focus on innovation.\nAs we expand our regulated entity footprint and product offering, by initiating our UK and Irish/EU Electronic Money Institution (EMI) operations, we are building out the safeguarding and treasury function to meet our regulatory obligations and optimise our and commercial obligations.\nWhat we’re looking for\nYapily is seeking an experienced, detail-oriented Safeguarding & Treasury Manager to own end-to-end EMI safeguarding compliance and to optimise the treasury management across the Group. This is a critical hire that bridges regulatory rigour and financial value creation: you will protect customer funds, satisfy the regulators, and simultaneously optimise our partnerships with our financial partners and unlock yield on the company’s operating funds.\nYou will be a subject matter expert in EMI safeguarding from prior similar roles in EMIs, preferably in the UK. You have detailed operational knowledge of the regulatory requirements in the UK (CASS) and in Ireland/EU (EMR, PSR). You have designed, operationalised and right sized processes to ensure regulatory compliance and treasury optimisation. You lead with a collaborative and fun “can do” mindset. You are solutions focused, designing and operating automated / AI-enhanced processes.\nLearn more: https://www.yapily.com/company/about-us\nRequirements\nYou will have the following responsibilities:\nEMI Safeguarding\nYou will own the full safeguarding lifecycle for the EMI operations, ensuring compliance at all times. Specific duties include:\nPerforming daily safeguarding reconciliations, ensuring that relevant funds held by Yapily match the safeguarding record and identifying and resolving breaks within required timeframes.\nPreparing all regulatory safeguarding reports to FCA. \nPreparing all internal reporting (to VP of Finance, Safeguarding Committee and the Board); continuously improving our internal governance and processes.\nManaging the day-to-day relationship with the custodian banks, including reconciliation queries, credit limit monitoring and escalation of material issues.\nOwning, maintaining and annually testing the Safeguarding Wind-Down Plan, ensuring it remains operational.\nServing as the primary internal owner for the annual safeguarding external audit, coordinating evidence requests, responding to auditor queries and remediating findings.\nTreasury Optimisation\nBeyond the primary responsibilities of EMI safeguarding, you will actively manage Yapily’s treasury position to generate commercial value within defined risk parameters.\nManaging the liquidity and capital positions of all group entities, in line with regulatory requirements and optimisation strategies.\nIdentifying, evaluating and implementing yield-generating strategies for the Group’s operating funds, including money market funds, short-dated instruments and bank deposit structures.\nDiversifying the placement of customer and relevant funds across eligible custodian arrangements in line with regulatory requirements and internal risk appetite.\nDefining and documenting treasury policy, including investment mandates and concentration limits.\nMonitoring counterparty credit quality and flagging deterioration to senior stakeholders.\nBuilding and maintaining a treasury dashboard, tracking liquidity, yield, counterparty exposure and FX risk.\nYou will report to the VP of Finance of Yapily.\nThis role works cross-functionally, partnering closely with the EMI support and operations, risk, and technology teams, in addition to the wider Finance function\nThis list above is not exhaustive, and there may be other tasks that we ask you to be involved in from time to time. Above all, you are flexible and want to add value wherever you can. You understand that in a start-up, priorities change and we all need to be adaptable. Not only will you be comfortable when asked to input and lead in other areas, but you’ll be comfortable being a self-starter and instigating changes yourself.\nFor your new role\nYou bring the following:\nExpertise and skills:\nRegarding Safeguarding: significant relevant experience within an Electronic Money Institution, with direct, hands-on ownership of safeguarding reconciliations and incident reporting / management.\nStrong preference for candidates with such EMI experience in UK, so you’re familiar with the new CASS requirements \nDeep, demonstrable knowledge of the operational requirements for safeguarding relevant funds; able to apply the rules without reliance on external counsel for day-to-day matters.\nProven ability to build, own and maintain reconciliation reports independently, including designing break resolution workflows.\nPractical knowledge of resolution/wind-down planning, managing audits and working directly with custodian banks.\nRegarding Treasury Management: Proven experience in treasury management within a fintech or payments business, including regulated capital and liquidity management, yield optimisation and money market instruments.\nExposure to multi-entity treasury structures, having managed treasury operations for both subsidiaries and parent level.\nExpertise in managing multi-currency cash flows, optimizing FX risk mitigation strategies, and overseeing cross-border funding to support Yapily's expansion in Europe and beyond.\nAdvanced financial modeling skills to build robust, scalable cash flow forecasting models that can adapt to a fast-moving, high-growth scale-up environment.\nTechnical/analytical skills: \nProfessional accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, ACT or equivalent) is a strong advantage but not a requirement.\nStrong analytical skills with high proficiency in Excel / Google Sheets, and experience using ledgers and data/BI tools (Big Query/Looker, SQL, Python). Familiarity with optimising treasury management systems (TSMs) that leverage API-driven infrastructure for real-time monitoring.\nAbility and genuine appetite to build on AI tooling to automate reconciliation, reporting and monitoring workflows; this is an active expectation of the role, not a future consideration.\nQualities:\nYou understand the importance of attention to detail and ensuring quality outputs. Everything you produce is of high quality.\nYou have a can-do approach. You think on your feet. Switching up tasks and juggling multiple priorities comes naturally to you.\nYou understand that your stakeholders will have different strengths. You’re happy to learn from them and to share your expertise.\nYou’re commercially minded - you understand how regulatory compliance and effective treasury management can positively impact our products, services and wider business.\nYou think outside of the box and are pragmatic. You will bring in and iterate on the experience, skills and knowledge of best practice that you have seen elsewhere. You are always looking for better and cost effective ways to do things.\nYou enjoy solving problems. You don’t get flustered easily. You’re comfortable managing your time and can be counted on to skilfully handle issues.\nYou are driven and curious.
