Owns critical cross-functional operations across people and tooling, compliance readiness, product launches, roadmap prioritization, and operational reviews. Partners with product and engineering teams, supports audits and regulatory requirements, improves internal standards, and drives initiatives through completion. The role requires structured problem-solving, quantitative prioritization, discretion, strong judgment, self-direction, and fluent English, with preferred experience in operations, product, risk, fintech, regulated businesses, or company-wide identity and access tooling.
Deblock is the fastest growing consumer fintech in Europe and is on a mission to give everyone full control of their money. We combine banking-grade compliance with on-chain technology to build a radically better way to save, spend and invest across euros and digital assets.
We're building a fully integrated on-chain bank: a current account and card, a self-custodial wallet in the same app, stablecoin rails, investment products, and our own compliance and risk infrastructure. We're authorised as an EMI by the ACPR and were the first French fintech licensed under MiCA by the AMF. Since launching in France in 2024, we've expanded across the EEA and we're just getting started.
Deblock is looking for an Ops Manager to own one of the most critical, cross-functional parts of how Deblock runs. You'll report directly to the ExCo and work with every team, from product to people.

What you need to know about the Belfast Tech Scene
If asked to name the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, you might not say Belfast. Similarly, if asked to name Europe's leading destination for foreign direct investment in new software development, Belfast might not come to mind. Yet, both are true. The city has emerged as a tech powerhouse, recently ranked among the best in the U.K. for tech careers — especially for software developers. It also leads the U.K. with the highest percentage of software development jobs advertised.
