We’re a fast-scaling FinTech, founded by an experienced team that has previously built multi-million Euro companies. Over the past three years, we have established ourselves in a regulated €100bn+ market and are backed by leading unicorn founders, senior industry executives, and top-tier global VCs.

You will join a growing team at a pivotal stage and work closely with the founders to scale the company further.

We are looking for a Business Operations Analyst to join us full-time starting asap.

Your Role:

• As a Business Operations Analyst at Xaver, you will operate at the intersection of finance, compliance, and operations – directly supporting the management team in building the operational infrastructure behind a next-generation pension and wealth platform.
• We’ve spent the last three years building product and winning customers. Now we need someone to help us professionalize the engine underneath – financial systems, governance frameworks, compliance documentation, and the operational models that let us scale without breaking.
• You will take ownership across business-critical topics – from driving our accounting platform migration and supporting our information security buildout, to managing compliance documentation and designing the KPI frameworks that keep the whole team aligned.
• Your role will be highly cross-functional: working closely with the COO/CFO, our Legal & Compliance lead, Product, Engineering, and external partners to make sure that decisions actually turn into execution.
• This position offers a unique opportunity to gain full exposure to a fast-scaling B2B FinTech and actively shape how modern pension products are built, sold and operated at scale.

Your Key Responsibilities:

Finance & Accounting Operations:

• Own the migration and buildout of our financial infrastructure as we scale – you don't need to be an accountant, but you need to be comfortable jumping in, figuring it out, and driving it forward.
• Support financial planning, budgeting, cash flow management and runway planning.
• Coordinate with external partners (accounting, payroll, tax advisors) and support audit processes.
• Help structure and monitor revenue streams, billing logic and contract-related financial flows.

Information Security & Compliance:

• Support the buildout of our information security framework – we’re handling regulated pension products in a €100bn+ market, so getting this right matters.
• Write, manage and maintain internal legal and compliance documentation alongside our Legal & Compliance lead – bridging the gap between regulatory requirements and day-to-day operations.
• Contribute to structuring compliance workflows that are robust enough to satisfy regulators and lean enough to not slow us down.

Operational Frameworks & Performance:

• Build and own KPI and OKR frameworks that give the team clarity on what matters and whether we’re hitting it.
• Design operational support models that keep cross-functional execution on track as we grow.
• Track key commercial and operational metrics and derive actionable insights to support growth and efficiency.
• Build and maintain business cases for new products, partnerships and market opportunities as needed.

Cross-Functional Coordination:

• Be the lynchpin between founders, legal & compliance, product, engineering and external stakeholders – the person who makes sure the threads connect.
• Drive accountability and follow-through across teams, ensuring that strategy doesn’t stall between meetings.
• Support the evaluation, onboarding and management of business and technology partners.
• Jump in wherever you see you can add value. This is an early-stage company and the role will evolve with you.

Your Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Business, Finance, Law, Math, Physics or a related discipline. MBA is an advantage.
• 2–4 years of experience in audit, advisory, risk, compliance, consulting, or operational roles within financial services, but honestly, we are open to candidates who can demonstrate a keen desire to work quickly, accurately and without constant oversight.
• You’re the kind of person who sees a messy process and instinctively wants to fix it, document it and make sure it doesn’t break again.
• Analytical prowess, coupled with exceptional problem‑solving and organisational capabilities.
• Stellar communication and interpersonal skills.
• A self‑driven approach with a fervor for innovation and agility in a dynamic setting.
• Fluency in English, German is an advantage.
