Job Description

Build Germany's Next Fintech Powerhouse

Germany’s financial sector is at a turning point, shifting from traditional, branch-driven lending models to a modern digital ecosystem where automation, transparency, and speed define the winners. Draivi, twice recognized on the Financial Times FT1000 list of Europe’s fastest-growing companies, is ready to lead that transformation.

We generate 400,000+ qualified leads every month through our digital lending platforms, serving a community of 6.5 million registered users across the Nordics, Spain, Germany, South Africa, Mexico, and beyond. With a proven growth playbook, featured in Google and Meta case studies, Draivi is positioned to become a key player in Germany’s evolving fintech landscape.


We’re now looking for a

Country Manager

to accelerate our growth in the German market by expanding our reach, increasing revenues and margins, and building strong local partnerships. This is a strategic leadership role with full P&L ownership, reporting directly to the CEO. You’ll have the autonomy, trust, and resources to build something significant while laying the groundwork for Draivi’s long-term presence in Germany, including the potential establishment of a local subsidiary and future licensing.



While based in Germany, you’ll collaborate closely with our

Build and maintain strong relationships with key partners (brokers, affiliates and other financial institutions). Identify new business opportunities, verticals, and partnerships to drive market growth. Analyze performance metrics, market trends, and competitor activities to make data-driven decisions. Establish the groundwork for a local entity: evaluate and prepare for local company formation, potential licensing needs, and long-term compliance structures. Represent Draivi as a senior leader and brand ambassador in the German market.
