Senior Founder's Associate (f/m/d)

About lemon.markets

lemon.markets is building tools that make investing accessible to everyone. The company’s goal is to expand investment opportunities for customers and businesses across Europe by helping fintechs, banks, and wealth managers launch investment products that strengthen their customers’ financial well-being.

The business operates as a Brokerage-as-a-Service platform, offering a straightforward API-based gateway to capital markets. Its infrastructure simplifies brokerage complexity through a well-documented API, a customer operations portal, and a transparent regulatory setup, allowing partners to launch compliant, customer-focused products in a matter of weeks rather than months.

As a member of the dwpbank group, lemon.markets benefits from additional resources and expertise while remaining an independent fintech with its own team, product, and startup identity.

Your mission

In this role, you will partner closely with the Founder and CEO as well as the leadership team to support strategic priorities and day-to-day execution across the business.
