ABOUT LEMON.MARKETS 🍋

empowering FinTechs, banks, and wealth managers to offer investment products, we help create financial well-being for their
customers.
lemon.markets is a Brokerage-as-a-Service platform: simple digital access to capital markets through a single API. Our API-first
infrastructure abstracts brokerage complexity with a well-documented API, a self-service customer operations portal, and a clear
regulatory framework, so partners can launch customer-centric, compliant products in weeks, not months.
As part of the dwpbank Group, we share a clear goal: we enable anyone to be an investor by making investing in capital markets
more accessible. By combining dwpbank’s long-standing expertise and stability with lemon.markets’ technology-first mindset and
speed, we are building a modern, modular securities services ecosystem. Together, we offer faster time-to-market, modular
services, and a modern customer experience that helps financial service providers stay competitive and respond more flexibly in a
changing market.
YOUR MISSION
As our Investment Compliance Manager, you will own and strengthen our Investment Compliance Function across the securities
business, ensuring that our products, processes, and partner activities remain fully aligned with WPHG requirements. The role sits
close to our Investing Domain and Customer Lifecycle Domain and is designed as an embedded compliance role with strong exposure to
Product, Engineering, Operations, Partner Management, and other first-line functions. Your work will directly support compliant
product growth by ensuring that new features, instruments, customer journeys, and partner setups are reviewed early and
implemented in line with regulatory expectations. In the first months, your focus will be on understanding the existing framework,
taking end-to-end ownership of day-to-day WPHG compliance topics, and further detailing and improving an already solid control
setup. You will have the opportunity to combine oversight with forward-looking advisory work, helping the business move quickly
while maintaining high regulatory standards in a product-driven and highly collaborative environment.
IN THIS ROLE YOU WILL:
* Review key WPHG topics such as best execution, inducements, appropriateness, product governance, customer classification,
conflicts of interest, market abuse, safeguarding of customer assets, and complaint-related processes, ensuring that the
existing framework is applied correctly and further developed where needed.
* Monitor first-line implementation and controls across customer order handling, partner activities, tied-agent setups, and
customer-facing journeys, including marketing materials, app flows, and disclosures, to ensure customers are informed clearly
and not steered inappropriately.
* Advise Product, Engineering, Operations in the Investing and Customer Lifecycle Domains on new features, financial instruments,
customer types, and process changes, so regulatory requirements are considered early and product development can move forward
in a compliant way.
* Collaborate closely with Partner Management and relevant internal teams to assess whether partner-operated materials and
processes under our license meet our standards and regulatory obligations.
* Prepare and further develop WPHG compliance reporting for management, including regular assessments of business development,
customer and transaction volumes, incidents, and potential deviations from internal or regulatory requirements.
YOU’LL BE SUCCESSFUL IN THIS ROLE IF YOU:
* You bring at least 5 years of professional experience, including a minimum of 3 years of hands-on WPHG compliance experience in
a licensed fintech or bank, with a clear focus on securities services or securities distribution.
* You have strong expertise in German regulatory requirements relevant to investment compliance, including topics such as best
execution, inducements, appropriateness, product governance, customer classification, conflicts of interest, and related
control frameworks.
* You are a strong communicator and collaborative stakeholder manager who can work effectively with Product, Engineering,
Operations, Partner Management, and other first-line functions in an embedded setup.
* You are fluent and comfortable operating in both German and English in a professional environment.
* You have a genuine interest in product development and enjoy translating regulation into practical guidance that supports
innovation without compromising compliance.
* You work in a hands-on, pragmatic, and ownership-driven way, thrive in dynamic environments, and are motivated to improve
structures rather than just maintain them.
HOW WE TAKE CARE OF YOU:
* 🚀 Compensation package: We offer you a competitive salary, based on your experience and the value-add you bring to
lemon.markets.
* 🕑 Flexible working hours: We trust people to choose when they work best and avoid a rigid 9 to 5 mindset. You decide on the
rhythm that helps you do your best work, with only shared core hours from 12:00 to 16:00 to support collaboration.
* 🏢 Hybrid work setup: You can work from anywhere in Germany within a hybrid model. At the same time, in-person collaboration is
a key part of our culture. That being said, individual contributer lemoneers work 4 days or more in our Berlin office, spending
quality time together with the team at events, onsites/offsites or over team dinners.
* 📈 Grow with us: We take your personal development seriously! You’ll get regular mentorship and stretch opportunities, a clear
career development framework with frequent feedback conversations as well as an annual learning budget.
* 🌱 People & culture: You’ll feel our culture in the small things, like Polaroids from our lemoneers’ first day and our monthly
new-joiner breakfasts. But also in the bigger things, like celebrating the onboarding of new partners or our annual offsites,
where the whole company comes together to connect, reflect, and celebrate.
* 💛 Perks & benefits: We choose benefits that add actual value. We sponsor a Deutschlandticket for employees on unlimited
contracts, plus 50% off on Beatvest - our partner for financial education and investing.
* 🏝 Workation: Get out of here! At lemon.markets you can work remotely from anywhere in the EU for up to 10 consecutive days at
a time, and up to 60 days per year in total.
As an equal opportunity employer, lemon.markets is committed to building an inclusive workplace. The company welcomes people from
all different backgrounds, including age, citizenship, ethnic and racial origins, gender identities, individuals with
disabilities, marital status, religions and ideologies, and sexual orientations to apply.
If you feel this role could be a great match for you even if you don’t tick every box, we’d still love to hear from you, please
apply.

helps financial service providers stay competitive and respond more flexibly in a changing market.
Your Mission
As lemon.markets continues to grow and expands the range of instruments on our platform, corporate actions will naturally become a
bigger and more important part of our day-to-day operations. That’s why we’re hiring our first Corporate Actions Specialist:
someone who takes full ownership of the end-to-end lifecycle, from announcement capture and validation through elections,
entitlement calculation, to final settlement and reconciliation. You’ll work closely with Product and Engineering to shape how the
process should run and to translate it into clear documentation and system requirements. Once live, you’ll ensure the daily
execution is smooth, consistent, and customer-first, because these events sit at the heart of a reliable investing experience.
Over time, you’ll help us automate as much as possible as volumes grow, while also raising corporate actions knowledge across the
Investing Operations team. This role is a unique chance to build, run, and continuously optimise an entire function.
In this role you will:
* Own the end-to-end corporate actions lifecycle across our growing instrument universe, from announcement capture and validation
through elections processing, entitlement calculation, and final settlement.
* Partner with Product and Engineering to design and scale the operating model, turning real-world event flows into clear
requirements, workflows, and screens that work in practice.
* Coordinate seamlessly with external stakeholders (custodians, issuers, depositories, brokers, and other counterparties) to
ensure events are processed accurately and on time.
* Manage regulatory, tax, and market reporting obligations, meeting disclosure requirements, market deadlines, and internal
control standards.
* Drive continuous improvement and automation, standardising processes, reducing operational risk, and implementing system and
tooling enhancements as volumes increase.
* Build and share corporate actions knowledge internally, creating SOPs, event playbooks, operational handbooks, and policy
documentation to upskill the broader team.
You’ll be successful in this role if you:
* Bring deep, hands-on experience in Corporate Actions Operations across fintechs, banks, custodians, brokers, or asset
servicers, covering the full end-to-end lifecycle from event capture and validation through elections, taxation,
reconciliation, and settlement. Exposure to broader investment/market operations is a strong plus.
* Have practical familiarity with the German retail investing market, and understand how European regulatory requirements
translate into day-to-day operational realities (e.g., tax reporting, disclosures, and market deadlines).
* Are comfortable operating within custody structures and market infrastructure (including CSDs/depositories) and can build
effective working relationships with custodians and other counterparties.
* Thrive in complex exception management, confidently running investigations end-to-end (e.g., cash/securities breaks, tax
discrepancies, rate validations) and driving issues through to clear, documented resolution.
* Pair an eye for detail with a strong risk, controls, and auditability mindset, ensuring outcomes are accurate, timely, and
scalable.
* Have a track record of driving process improvements and automation, partnering closely with Product and Engineering to remove
manual work and reduce operational risk.
* Communicate fluently in English (C1); German is a plus but not required.

* 🚀 Compensation package: We offer you a competitive salary, based on your experience and the value-add you bring to
lemon.markets.

market strolls at Maybachufer, and our monthly new-joiner breakfast. But also in the bigger things: celebrating the onboarding

You will focus on areas of the Customer Lifecycle, Investing or Banking processes - making sure our Core Platform & Systems around
it are reliable & scalable.
Our Tech Stack is Python, FastAPI, AWS and Postgres. While you can have worked in different modern tech stacks prior, you should
be excited to work in Python and learn it if you haven’t worked with it before.
You will have a significant impact on the development of our core Platform & Systems - and thereby architectural decisions, as
well as on the business itself. Work alongside a cross-functional team of experts, and together we will leverage your previous

* You see yourself as a product engineer. That means, you are excited by solving customer problems and strive to become an expert
in the domain area you are working in.
* You enjoy building from scratch. This means high involvement in the product development process itself while advocating for the
best engineering practices. It also means that you enjoy taking technical decisions.
* You are ready and willing to take ownership of problems and act on them decisively with no supervision. You always thrive for
high quality outcomes through focus, determination and attention to detail.
* You are a team player. Working together as a team, sharing knowledge & providing mentorship comes naturally to you. Long term -
you consider becoming a team lead.
* You have no problem with learning new technologies on the go. You try to solve problems with more things than the ones you
already know. We will always enable you with that, but your willingness has to come first.

lean environment, can move quickly and focus on what's truly important.
