Chief Financial Officer; CFO - Fintech

Location: Flexible/International
Type: Executive Leadership

A high-growth, regulated fintech is seeking a commercially driven Chief Financial Officer to architect and scale its global financial and banking infrastructure.

This is not a traditional reporting CFO role - you will play a pivotal role in building acquiring banking relationships, shaping treasury strategy, and enabling large-scale card payments growth across international markets.

You will sit at executive leadership level, owning financial strategy, global banking partnerships, treasury operations, and regulatory financial governance while supporting rapid platform scaling.

Key focus areas include:

• Securing and managing acquiring & sponsor bank relationships

• Building global Visa & Mastercard acquiring infrastructure

• 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

• 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

• 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.
