IT GRC Specialist at Stripe's Luxembourg regulated entity (BBSA), supporting DORA, MiCA, and CSSF compliance. Bridges engineering and regulatory requirements through risk management, vendor oversight, and audit readiness.
Secure and Scale a Regulated Fintech Platform at the Heart of Stripe
Bridge Building S.A. (BBSA) is the Luxembourg regulated entity of Bridge, a Stripe company. We operate as an EMI and future CASP in one of Europe’s most demanding regulatory environments (CSSF, DORA, MiCA).
BBSA is building a local regulated platform powered by a global-first technology model. In this context, we are looking for a sharp IT GRC Analyst to act as the bridge between strict European regulations and high-velocity global engineering.
This role is the control and risk right hand of the Bridge Global CISO. While our global teams build the tech, you ensure it is compliant, resilient, and audit-ready. You will translate requirements like DORA and MiCA into tangible IT controls, oversee third-party risks, and maintain the integrity of our governance framework.
This is not a "tick-the-box" compliance role. It is a operational position for a professional who understands technology well enough to govern it effectively. You will have high visibility, owning the frameworks that allow us to scale securely.
