Looking for a student job where you're trusted to make an impact? Join us and help shape the partnerships that power the bank of tomorrow. At kompasbank, we don’t just use software; we orchestrate a world-class ecosystem of digital partners that allow us to operate more efficiently avoiding legacy IT-systems and with a cost base 10 times lower than traditional banks.

Behind every product we offer, there’s a network of carefully selected software providers making it possible.

You will sit at the intersection of Tech, Legal, and Finance, ensuring that our digital infrastructure is resilient, scalable, and ready to disrupt the European financial sector.

You will join a fast-paced environment where we move fast and adapt quickly. Your tasks will require structure and a proactive mindset, as you take ownership of:

• →Strategic Due Diligence: Assist in assessing new fintech partners and providers, setting the standard for who gets to be part of our platform.
• →Commercial Optimization: Support the negotiation and renegotiation of contracts to ensure we hit ambitious performance targets.
• →Regulatory Excellence: Help us stay ahead of the curve by monitoring controls in line with DORA and EBA guidelines, ensuring we remain a trusted, regulated institution.
• →Portfolio Management: Keep our central contract register audit-ready and structured, giving management a clear overview of our external dependencies.
• →Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with stakeholders across the bank to drive vendor-related processes forward.

We are looking for a "Navigator" with a data-driven mindset and an eye for detail.

• You are currently attending a relevant study direction i.e. Business Administration, Law, or Finance.
• You have a genuine interest in how modern organisations manage dependencies and risk .
• You are commercially minded and not afraid to challenge the status quo.
• You are fluent in English (our corporate language).
• You are a natural problem solver who looks beyond established patterns, always eager to design and test innovative methods.
• You are structured and can manage multiple tasks and deadlines without losing track of the details.
• You are comfortable using AI tools and always looking for smarter ways to get things done.
• You are comfortable working across departments and can connect the dots between vendor management and the wider business.
• You are not afraid to ask questions and stay genuinely curious.

With the latest technology and an out-of-the-box mindset, we are building the future role model for business banking. As a neobank, we’ve built our platform from scratch – completely independent of existing structures and processes – and we aim to deliver services and products that make life much easier for small and medium-sized businesses across Europe.

Since opening our doors in August 2021, we have grown by leaps and bounds. With traction in Denmark, Germany, and Spain, we are now considered one of the leading fintechs in the Nordics. In 2024, kompasbank was ranked as #2 on the Sifted 250, a leaderboard highlighting the fastest-growing companies in Europe based on revenue growth.

We can’t wait to hear from you! We will conduct interviews on an ongoing basis.
