Find Jobs in Cyprus

Emerald Zebra recruits for FinTech, Tech, Financial Services and iGaming companies in Cyprus and globally. Our specialisms include FX/CFD brokerages, multi-asset trading platforms, crypto exchanges, EMIs and PSPs, RegTech and compliance teams, and select SaaS and iGaming operators. We place talent across product, tech, commercial, operations, and leadership functions, from specialist hires through to confidential C-suite and board-level appointments.

Candidate experience is central to our approach. Our proprietary HEX (Human Experience) model ensures every candidate receives timely, respectful and transparent communication, whether applying for roles in Cyprus or international markets.

We have 25+ years of sector expertise with advanced sourcing strategies including headhunting, proactive outreach, and a vetted international talent network. For most roles we work on a success-only basis, you pay when we deliver. For complex executive and leadership mandates, we offer structured engagement models with dedicated research and market mapping. Our approach is designed to complement your internal talent acquisition efforts, not compete with them.

Every role benefits from targeted promotion via:

• LinkedIn Promoted Job Slots

• Emerald Zebra Job Board

• Curated talent campaigns

• Referral networks and direct sourcing

We ensure high visibility across Cyprus and relevant international markets in the UK, EMEA, APAC and LATAM.

All placements come with a 3-month free replacement or refund guarantee if the candidate leaves or doesn’t meet expectations. Thanks to our consultative approach, this is rarely needed. Request a copy of our T’s & C’s. 

Our recruitment service covers specialist and mid-level roles across all functions, compliance, tech, operations, sales, finance, and more. Executive search is for C-suite, board, and senior leadership appointments where the process requires confidentiality, market mapping, structured assessment, and dedicated senior-level attention throughout. We’ll advise which approach fits your mandate during our initial consultation.

Yes. While we’re based in Cyprus, we regularly deliver mandates for clients in Dubai, London, Tel Aviv, Kuala Lumpur,  and across EMEA and APAC. Many of our clients are multi-jurisdictional businesses headquartered in Cyprus or with branch offices in Cyprus, and with entities and hiring needs across multiple markets.

We recruit for businesses operating under CySEC, FCA, DFSA, VARA, VASP, MiCA, FSC, and FSCA regulatory frameworks. Our consultants understand the licensing requirements, compliance expectations, and technical competencies that regulated firms need in their leadership and specialist teams.

Yes. We regularly assist candidates relocating from the UK, EU, MEA and even further. We provide local salary guidance, relocation support through partners and employer expectations to help make your move to Cyprus informed.

Absolutely. Many of our clients offer flexible working arrangements. We specify the preferred location, time zone, or regulatory alignment for each role, especially in regulated or trading-related positions.

We’re a specialist recruitment consultancy, not a volume agency. Our focus is exclusively on FinTech, Tech, Financial Services, and iGaming – the sectors we know inside out. With 25+ years of market experience, direct relationships with hiring decision-makers, and an ever-growing network and professional talent pool, many of our placed candidates have progressed their careers to the highest levels, becoming clients themselves and utilising our services to build their own teams.

We offer candidates access to opportunities drawn from personal networks built over two decades across Cyprus, the UK, EMEA and APAC. Our reputation is built on trust, credibility, and integrity, we say what we mean, we protect your confidentiality, and we give honest guidance even when it’s not what you want to hear.

While most agencies in Cyprus are still running on outdated systems, we’ve built our infrastructure around the tools shaping the future of recruitment. Our applicant tracking system integrates advanced agentic capabilities – a first in the global recruitment technology space, going far beyond keyword matching and percentage scores to identify talent with the nuance and context that hiring decisions demand. Every technology decision we make is designed to enhance our consultants’ expertise, not replace it. Human judgement remains at the centre of every assessment and recommendation we make.

Combined with our market intelligence, published Salary Insights, and regular industry commentary through the Emerald Zebra news platform, plus our Emerald Zebra Academy for governance, risk & compliance professionals, we know the market, the players, and the real story behind every role, not just the job spec.

We also invest in the candidate experience through our HEX model – timely communication, honest feedback, and genuine career guidance at every stage.
