Our mission
Money sitting idle is money lost. We're fixing that.
Founded in 2023 by Antoine and Paul-Adrien, Spiko gives SMEs, non-profits, financial advisers and fintechs access to institutional-grade cash management via app or API. We are building the full infrastructure: issuing, operating, and distributing the products ourselves.
Two years after launch, we serve thousands of organizations across Europe and process hundreds of millions of euros in flows every month.
Our ambition: become the world's leading treasury management infrastructure in a market worth trillions.
We are backed by Index Ventures, the CEO of Revolut, the founder of Kyriba, and the CTO of Wise.
Spiko runs on excellence, transparency, and straight talk
The role: Risk Manager
Spiko operates at the frontier of financial infrastructure, building products that don't have established playbooks. Every major choice we make needs to be assessed against its real risk implications. As Spiko scales, both in AuM and in the complexity of our financial infrastructure, we're building out a dedicated risk function to make sure we make the right choices as we grow. You'll be the first Manager, responsible for mapping, monitoring, and mitigating the risks across our regulated activity. You will also design the associated controls and build our internal control framework.
This is a role at the intersection of traditional asset management risk and the risks specific to on-chain infrastructure. Because so much of what we build is genuinely new, you'll often be the one shaping how we think about risk in the first place, not just applying an existing framework. You'll work closely with Compliance & Legal, Finance, Product and Tech, as well as external partners.
Reporting to the Head of Finance, you'll have real autonomy in shaping Spiko's risk framework as the company expands across Europe.
