Financial Operations Specialist

Paris office Financial Operations Specialist Our mission

Time is money, and earning interest on cash should be effortless. We make it so, putting an end to the conflict of interest between banks and their clients.

Founded in mid-2023 by Antoine and Paul-Adrien, Spiko delivers best-in-class cash management products for SMEs, startups, financial advisors and fintechs via an app or API. We're not a typical broker: we internalize much of the value chain by building the infrastructure that enables us to issue, manage, and distribute these products.

18 months after launch, we have more than 2,500 B2B customers and over €1.2bn in assets under management, with active commercialisation only in France. Yet the problem we're solving isn't French: it's at least European.

Our ambition is to build Europe's top cash manager in a market worth trillions of euros.

We are backed by top-tier investors, including Index Ventures, the CEO of Revolut, the founder of Kyriba, and the CTO of Wise.

Spiko's culture is built on excellence, transparency, open feedback, and humility.

The role : Financial Operations Specialist

As our first Financial Operations Specialist, you'll be hands-on running the operational backbone that moves several hundred million euros of client money every month. This is a production role: you'll execute subscriptions and redemptions, manage multi-currency banking flows, and own reconciliation and settlement - making sure every euro, pound and dollar lands where it should.
