Help make the world more hospitable The hospitality industry is uniquely human, and it deserves technology that’s just as inspiring as the people behind it. At Mews, we’re transforming the industry with a platform that helps hotels run smarter, move faster and create better guest experiences. You’ll work with smart, curious people who care deeply about what they do. You’ll have autonomy and the trust to make good decisions and move quickly.

If you’re motivated by ownership, curiosity and meaningful impact, and are driven to deliver consistent high performance, you’ll feel at home here. About the role 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: You'll build and own Mews Financial Services' enterprise risk framework from the ground up, reporting directly to the Chief Risk and Compliance Officer. Mews FinTech is scaling fast across payments, regulation and product, and this role exists to give the business one clear owner of enterprise-wide risk instead of risk being managed in pieces across teams. It's a genuinely greenfield opportunity to shape how a growing regulated fintech manages risk end to end, from the first framework choices onward. You'll own the ERM framework and risk appetite for Mews FS, act as a key contact for DNB and other regulators, and work closely with first line teams, the MLRO and the Management Board. As Mews FinTech grows, risk needs to scale from something managed in slices to a single enterprise-wide framework that keeps the business compliant without slowing product and commercial teams down. This role exists to build that framework and own it going forward.
