Vinted Pay

Our mission is to make second-hand the first choice, and we're looking for people who want to help us get there. Every day, we work together to help our members buy and sell pre-loved clothing and lifestyle items, giving each piece a second life – or even a third.
The Vinted Group is made up of three business units that support this mission:
Vinted Marketplace is Europe’s leading platform for second-hand fashion and a go-to destination for all kinds of pre-loved items, with a growing range of categories. Our platform connects millions of members across 20+ markets, helping great items find a new life.
Vinted Go enhances the shipping experience with a vast network of over 500,000 pick‑up and drop‑off points, partnering with more than 60 carriers across Europe, with added services like item verification for peace of mind on high‑value pieces.
Vinted Pay is the newest part of the Vinted Group, dedicated to bringing secure, reliable payments to buyers and sellers across Europe. Seamlessly integrated into the Vinted app, it helps keep every transaction safe, efficient, and easy for our members.
Founded in 2008 in Lithuania, Vinted began as a way for friends to find new homes for clothes they no longer needed. In 2019, we became Lithuania's first unicorn! Today, our headquarters remain in Vilnius, and we've grown with offices across Europe, supported by a team of over 2,000 people.

At Vinted we are devoted to making second‑hand the first choice worldwide. Vinted Pay is the regulated payments entity that makes it possible through enabling Vinted users to spend money, receive money, keep money and payout, while keeping them safe from financial crime.

We are establishing a new AML & Fraud Prevention product domain within Vinted Pay. As a regulated financial institution operating across Europe, our obligations grow as we grow: anti‑money laundering and counter‑terrorist financing controls, sanctions screening, KYC, transaction monitoring are protecting our members and our balance sheet from fraud and other illegal activities. Today these capabilities sit across several teams and tools.

This domain will own them end to end, and turn financial crime prevention into a mature product: controls that satisfy regulators without adding friction for the honest majority.

This is a newly created domain. As its leader you will work with your functional peers (Engineering, Data, Design) to assess the status quo and construct the long‑term vision. You will be responsible for setting domain goals, delivering on already identified opportunities, hiring, and executing the product vision.

You’ll report to the leader of Engineering/Product/Design/Analytics at Vinted Pay, and partner with Product Directors across Vinted Pay and the wider marketplace, as well as with our Compliance, Legal, Risk, Risk Operations, Engineering, Design and Analytics functions.

• Manage multiple competing objectives and provide clarity to the delivering organisation
• Use and analyse data to size risk, identify product opportunities, and build the right…
