The role is posted as remote within Luxembourg and sits inside Shopify’s Money Movement Platform team. Below is a clear, factual overview compiled from the official Shopify careers page so international candidates can quickly understand the opportunity and apply through the correct channel.

Quick job overview

About the employer

Shopify is a publicly listed commerce technology company headquartered in Ottawa, Canada. According to its careers site, the company has grown to roughly 8,300 employees and has powered over $1 trillion in sales for millions of merchants in 175 countries. As Shopify expands its regulated payments and money-movement infrastructure across the US, UK and EU, it is establishing a hub of finance and regulatory expertise in Luxembourg around its Electronic Money Institution.

What this role involves

This is a builder role inside Shopify’s Treasury function. The Treasury Specialist will help shape the controls, daily operations and banking relationships that underpin a regulated EMI from the ground up, working closely with Legal, Compliance, Product and Engineering across time zones.

Treasury operations

• Run day-to-day treasury operations including fund flows, bank account management and payment processing across Shopify’s European businesses.
• Act as the primary on-the-ground point of contact for Europe-specific operational issues and resolve same-day money movement problems.
• Monitor capital adequacy, liquidity buffers and own-funds governance in line with EMI prudential requirements.
• Identify and drive automation across treasury reporting, reconciliation and forecasting workflows.

Regulatory and safeguarding

• Serve as the CSSF-designated Approved Person for Shopify’s Luxembourg EMI and own the primary finance relationship with the CSSF.
• Run daily safeguarding operations: ensure client funds are segregated in qualifying accounts, reconciled against payment liabilities each day, and that the safeguarded fund investment account is managed in line with the permitted investment policy, including compliance with CSSF Circular 26/906.
• Partner with Legal and Compliance to prepare regulatory reports and maintain the safeguarding resolution pack and supporting documentation.
• Build and own treasury controls, reconciliation procedures and reportable-event playbooks aligned with regulatory requirements.

Banking and counterparty

• Be Shopify’s primary contact for European banking partners: open and manage accounts, monitor counterparty credit and maintain operational relationships that keep payments moving.
• Support treasury flows for new payment corridors and products and resolve operational issues without cross-timezone delays.

Required skills and qualifications

Must-haves

• Direct experience inside a CSSF- or FCA-regulated payments firm, Electronic Money Institution or bank.
• Working knowledge of PSD2, the Luxembourg Payment Services Law and the EMI regulatory framework, including safeguarding, capital adequacy and CSSF reporting obligations.
• Eligibility and willingness to be assessed as fit and proper by the CSSF as a named Approved Person.
• Experience owning daily safeguarding reconciliation, including multi-currency account structures.
• Sound judgment under operational pressure, with experience handling payment failures, safeguarding shortfalls or reportable events.
• Fluent in English.

Strong advantages

• CTP, ACT, CFA or equivalent treasury or finance qualification.
• Background building treasury controls at a payments firm scaling into new markets.
• Experience working across product and engineering teams, not just the finance stack.
• French or German language skills.

Salary, benefits and relocation support

Salary, bonus, equity and relocation support are not specified by the employer on the public job posting. Shopify lists the role as remote within Luxembourg and operates digital-first, so candidates should clarify exact compensation, benefits and any relocation assistance directly with Shopify’s recruitment team during the interview process.

Work permit and visa note

The Shopify job posting does not explicitly mention visa sponsorship for this role. It does require eligibility to be assessed as fit and proper by Luxembourg’s financial regulator, the CSSF, as a named Approved Person, which typically implies the candidate must be legally able to work in Luxembourg and to take on a regulated function. Non-EU candidates should check Luxembourg work-permit options on the official government portal guichet.public.lu and confirm any sponsorship directly with Shopify before applying.

Who this role may suit

This role is most likely a fit for treasury, payments or banking professionals who have already worked inside a regulated EMI, payment institution or bank in the EU or UK, and who are comfortable being a named regulated person. It is less suited to generalist corporate treasury candidates without payments-regulation exposure, or to candidates who are not eligible or willing to be assessed by the CSSF.

How to apply officially

Applications must be submitted through Shopify’s official careers website. JobsRivo does not collect applications, CVs or fees on behalf of Shopify.

FAQs

Is this Shopify role fully remote?

The job is listed as “Remote — Luxembourg” and Shopify operates digital-first, so most work is remote. Because the role is a CSSF Approved Person for Shopify’s Luxembourg EMI, candidates should expect a Luxembourg-based working arrangement and occasional in-country activity.

Does Shopify sponsor a work visa for this position?

Visa sponsorship is not stated on the public posting. JobsRivo does not label this role as visa-sponsored. Candidates should confirm sponsorship and relocation directly with Shopify’s recruiting team.

What is a CSSF Approved Person?

The Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) is Luxembourg’s financial regulator. For regulated firms such as Electronic Money Institutions, certain key roles must be assessed as “fit and proper” by the CSSF before they can take responsibility for regulated activities. This role is one of those named positions.

Is a finance or treasury qualification required?

Shopify lists CTP, ACT, CFA or equivalent as a strong advantage, not a hard requirement. Direct EMI, FCA or bank treasury experience and CSSF eligibility are the must-have criteria.
