Go-to-MarketCompliance
At bunq, we're not just building a banking app, we're reshaping how people experience their financial lives. As CEO, UK, you own bunq's growth in the United Kingdom end to end: you decide who we win, how we win them, and what we build the UK business on. You'll answer to the numbers, and to the user. Take Ownership - Position bunq as the go-to financial partner for the user in the UK by knowing their lifestyle inside out: how she spends, saves, and runs her money, and where bunq fits in. - Define and execute the local commercial strategy, delivering on budget, user, and revenue targets. - Build the go-to-market machine: acquisition, commercial, and operational engines, with the KPIs that prove it’s working. - Own the UK P&L and commit to it. Secure and operate under the UK license - Lead bunq’s path to full UK banking authorization, including the application and ongoing dialogue with the PRA and FCA. - Build and maintain trusted relationships with UK regulators, and act as the senior accountable face of bunq in the UK. - Work with Legal, Compliance, Risk, and Finance to meet capital, governance, safeguarding, and reporting requirements, and to fill the senior roles the regulator expects (e.g., SMF holders). - Translate regulatory milestones into commercial planning, so go-to-market timing, product scope, and growth targets match what the license allows at each stage. - Make sure the UK business is built to stay compliant as it scales, not only to get authorized. Build and scale the UK organization - Identify the gaps between where we are and where we need to be, and own the hiring plan. - Hire, lead, and develop a high-performing UK team across commercial, operations, and risk and compliance. Partner across the business and market - Manage a broad set of stakeholders across Marketing, Product, and external partners. - Land partnerships that drive user growth and engagement.
