About finmid

At finmid, we envision a future where access to capital for SMEs becomes seamless and deeply integrated into the software platforms that businesses are run on. We build the infrastructure that enables platforms to transform how financing is accessed and distributed, allowing businesses to thrive without friction, barriers, or interruptions. We believe the key to solving capital access for SMEs lies in connecting the most effective sources of funding and leveraging data to minimize cost of capital, with the most effective distribution channels while providing a 10x better UX than other financial institutions. 

As we expand our reach across Europe, we are establishing a Crowdfunding Services team in Ireland. This strategic move integrates the technological strength of our parent company with local expertise to deliver exceptional, compliant, and innovative financing solutions. Our mission remains clear: to bridge the gap between demand and supply of capital with a foundation built on transparency, trust, and transformative financial services.

• Manage third-party service provider relationships, including due diligence, contract negotiation, and monitoring adherence to SLAs and KPIs, within the Group and externally.

• Collaborate with leadership, cross-functional teams, and external stakeholders to align operational goals with strategic priorities and regulatory obligations.

• Lead business continuity planning and manage operational risks in line with Irish, European, and Group policies.

What you need to be successful (requirements):

• We are flexible and cover whatever you need to be as productive as possible.

• Home office stipend.

• 30 days time off.

• Meaningful equity.

• Open-minded and transparent culture that includes regular get together meetings (e.g. All Hands, Brown Bag Lunch, Offsites)
