IT Operations Manager

Deblock is the fastest growing consumer fintech in Europe and is on a mission to give everyone full control of their money. We combine banking-grade compliance with on-chain technology to build a radically better way to save, spend and invest across euros and digital assets.

We're building a fully integrated on-chain bank: a current account and card, a self-custodial wallet in the same app, stablecoin rails, investment products, and our own compliance and risk infrastructure. We're authorised as an EMI by the ACPR and were the first French fintech licensed under MiCA by the AMF. Since launching in France in 2024, we've expanded across the EEA and we're just getting started.

Deblock is looking for an Ops Manager to own one of the most critical, cross-functional parts of how Deblock runs. You'll report directly to the ExCo and work with every team, from product to people.

🧑‍💻 What you'll be working on

• People & tooling: Own how our team is equipped and supported, from onboarding to offboarding. Give everyone the tools and standards to work well.
• Compliance: Keep us ready for regulators, auditors and partners. Close gaps early and keep our standards ahead of requirements.
• New products: Partner with product from first spec to launch, making sure every new feature is built the right way from day one.
• Roadmap: Own the team's roadmap and priorities, deliver fast, deliver excellently.
• Reviews: Regularly review how we operate, internally and with our partners, and drive improvements through to completion.
