Summary and responsibilities

Role overview

Summary

The Fintech Strategy & Operations Associate will join the Fintech team, focusing on transforming big-picture fintech ideas into concrete execution plans. This role involves coordinating cross-functional initiatives, bridging finance and operations, and creating executive-ready materials to support decision-making.

Let's get into the specifics. It’s impossible to capture every nuance of a role – especially at a rapidly growing company like Mews – but if we had to distil it into a job description (which we do because this is a job description), it would be this:

We’re looking for a Fintech Strategy & Operations Associate to join our Fintech team. In this role, you’ll sit at the intersection of strategy, finance and execution. You’ll take big-picture fintech ideas and business cases and turn them into concrete, end‑to‑end plans that bring together Finance, Pricing, R&D, Operations, Compliance, Legal and GTM. You won’t “own” the spreadsheets, but you will pressure‑test assumptions, connect the numbers to operational reality, and help leadership make clear, well‑informed decisions about what we do next, in what order, and with which trade‑offs.

It’s a great fit if you enjoy ambiguous problems, thrive in cross‑functional environments, and like seeing your work turn into real change in how products and processes run.

✅ Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

  • Turn fintech and payments strategy into clear execution plans and roadmaps (scope, milestones, owners, success metrics).

  • Coordinate cross‑functional fintech initiatives (e.g. migrations, product/feature rollouts, process or pricing changes).

  • Bridge Finance / Pricing and operations by challenging models and turning insights into prioritised, realistic plans.

  • Create concise, executive-ready materials that explain options, trade‑offs and resourcing needs.

  • Spot process gaps and risks across fintech workflows and drive pragmatic improvements.

  • Track actions and decisions to ensure follow‑through in a fast‑changing environment.

🤝️ You’ll be a great fit if you bring a few of the below with you:

  • Experience: 6+ years in consulting, banking, strategy, business analysis or similar, ideally in SaaS, fintech or payments.

  • Execution: proven experience driving or supporting multi‑stakeholder initiatives (migrations, rollouts, process or operating‑model changes).

  • Skills: strong analytical and communication skills; comfortable with data, business cases and financial models.

  • Collaboration: able to influence without authority and build relationships across Finance, R&D, Operations, Compliance, Legal and GTM.

  • Mindset: high ambiguity tolerance, strong ownership and follow‑through—you keep work moving even when things change.

  • Nice to have: knowledge of payments / fintech value chains, pricing or unit economics, and tools like Jira, Confluence and Slack.

What’s in it for you?

Our success is powered by our incredible people, supported by benefits that help them thrive.

Global benefits

No matter where you’re based, you’ll enjoy:

  • Unlimited paid holiday (yes, really)

  • Participation in our company share program

  • Paid parental leave (6 months fully paid for primary caregivers, 2 months for secondary, available after one year of service)

  • An annual Learning budget of €300 (and more for high performers) to support your development
