Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Fireblocks as an employer.

What you need

  • Proven operational leadership experience within a regulated financial institution (payment institution, e-money institution, bank, or crypto-asset service provider)
  • Experience of the Liechtenstein or wider EEA regulatory environment, ideally including prior involvement in a licence application and ongoing regulator engagement
  • A payments background, with an understanding of open banking (AIS/PIS), payment operations, and the associated regulatory obligations
  • Familiarity with outsourcing governance and the operation of a licensed entity that relies on an intra-group or third-party technology provider
  • The standing and seniority to act credibly as a controlling function before the FMA
  • Sound judgement, personal accountability, and the ability to operate as the responsible individual for a licensed entity

Nice to have

  • Exposure to the digital asset sector is an advantage

What you get

  • Base salary range estimate of €150,000 – €205,000
  • Target bonus
  • Very competitive equity grant
  • Very generous benefits

Worth weighing

  • Role requires travel to Liechtenstein and alignment with US working hours
  • No specific mention of remote work flexibility beyond travel requirements
  • Compensation decisions are case-dependent and may not be at the top of the pay range
