Risk and Internal Control Manager, Pay

Our mission is to make second-hand the first choice, and we're looking for people who want to help us get there. Every day, we work together to help our members buy and sell pre-loved clothing and lifestyle items, giving each piece a second life – or even a third.

The Vinted Group is made up of three business units that support this mission:

Vinted Marketplace is Europe's leading platform for second-hand fashion and a go-to destination for all kinds of pre-loved items, with a growing range of categories. Our platform connects millions of members across 20+ markets, helping great items find a new life.

Vinted Go enhances the shipping experience with a vast network of over 500,000 pick-up and drop-off points, partnering with more than 60 carriers across Europe, with added services like item verification for peace of mind on high-value pieces.

Vinted Pay is the newest part of the Vinted Group, dedicated to bringing secure, reliable payments to buyers and sellers across Europe. Seamlessly integrated into the Vinted app, it helps keep every transaction safe, efficient, and easy for our members.

Founded in 2008 in Lithuania, Vinted began as a way for friends to find new homes for clothes they no longer needed. In 2019, we became Lithuania's first unicorn Today, our headquarters remain in Vilnius, and we've grown with offices across Europe, supported by a team of over 2,000 people. Our backers include Accel, EQT Growth, Insight Partners, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Sprints, and TPG.

Vinted Pay is embarking on a strategic initiative to evolve into a comprehensive, revenue-generating, multi-service financial platform that supports Vinted's mission of promoting second-hand as the preferred choice. Within this context, we are focusing on establishing our payment operations in Luxembourg to fortify our business presence in the EU.

The Risk Manager will be instrumental to this endeavour, providing leadership and expertise in navigating regulatory landscapes and ensuring adherence to the CSSF requirements. This role is vital as we pursue an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license, and later to ensure sound risk management process, compliance with regulation and progress on our mission-critical projects.
