-
Designing multi-currency treasury and settlement frameworks
-
Driving financial strategy, forecasting, and capital planning
-
Overseeing regulatory financial compliance within a licensed payments environment
-
Optimising payments economics, liquidity, and transaction flows
What We're Looking For
-
12+ years' senior leadership experience in fintech, payments, banking, or regulated financial services
-
Proven success establishing or managing acquiring banking relationships
-
Strong expertise across card schemes, merchant acquiring, and payment infrastructure
-
Deep treasury and cross-border liquidity management experience
-
Background in high-growth or scaling fintech environments
-
Commercially minded executive comfortable operating in a build-phase business
Why Join?
-
Opportunity to build financial and banking infrastructure from the ground up
-
Executive influence over global payments strategy
-
High-growth fintech with international expansion ambitions
-
Strategic, hands-on leadership role with real ownership
If you are a payments-focused finance leader ready to shape a global fintech platform, we'd love to hear from you.
