Description
Who are Yapily
Yapily is on a mission to enable innovative companies to create better and fairer financial services for everyone, through the power of open banking.
Yapily is an open banking infrastructure platform solving a fundamental problem in financial services today: access. Historically, card networks have monopolised the global movement of money, and banks have monopolised the ownership of, and access to, financial data.
Yapily was founded to challenge these structures and create a global open economy that works for everyone. We exist behind the scenes, securely connecting companies - from growth to enterprise - to thousands of banks worldwide, enabling them to access data and initiate payments through the power of open banking.
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for a highly credible policy and regulatory leader who is motivated by Yapily’s mission to build a more open, competitive and fair financial system.
Operating at the intersection of regulation, technology, and business strategy, this role will build strong relationships across government, regulators, and industry to advance Yapily’s policy agenda. It requires actively monitoring and shaping developments in open banking and finance, digital identity, AI, and digital assets, translating complex regulatory change into clear positions and practical actions for the business. The successful candidate will partner closely with senior stakeholders across the business to deliver effective advocacy, manage regulatory risk, and support Yapily’s growth.
Above all, you care about shaping the future of financial services and want to play a central role in making Open Banking and Open Finance work at scale.
