ABOUT LEMON.MARKETS 🍋
We enable anyone to be an investor. Our mission is to grow investing opportunities for all European customers and businesses. By
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: 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 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.
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 per month on-site 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, Friday food
market strolls at Maybachufer, and our monthly new-joiner breakfast. But also in the bigger things: celebrating the onboarding
of new partners, growing our teams, and owning a strong discussion culture.
* 💛 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.
