Operations
What they actually want (must-haves)
  • 8+ years of operating experience in fintech, payments, banking or another regulated financial-services environment, with meaningful time spent in business operations, strategy and operations, partnerships operations or program leadership.
  • Direct, hands-on experience taking a financial product live with US banks: sponsor-bank or BaaS programs, FBO (for-benefit-of) account structures, money-transmitter-based programs, or equivalent.
  • Working knowledge of the US money-transmission landscape from an operator's seat: state licensing, BSA/AML program expectations, flow-of-funds design and the controls banks expect to see.
  • A record of leading complicated programs across many functions with clear personal ownership and measurable results, including examples where you consolidated fragmented work under one owner.
  • Strong commercial and analytical judgment: you can read a fee schedule, model a program's economics, and turn incomplete information into a decision.
  • Clear, direct written communication and executive judgment. You document decisions, surface problems early and make ownership and tradeoffs explicit.
Nice to have
  • Cross-border payments, FX or stablecoin experience, including custody providers and liquidity partners.
  • Experience launching a US banking program from zero, or operationalising a newly acquired or newly granted licence.
  • Experience building partner-management or vendor-management frameworks: scorecards, performance reviews, contract and commercial hygiene.
  • Exposure to Canada or Latin America banking and entity setup.
  • Experience in a high-growth company operating multiple regulated entities across several countries.

Benefits

  • Equity in a rapidly growing company.
  • Opportunity to work in a fast-paced startup at the forefront of fintech innovation.
  • Opportunity to make a significant impact on global financial infrastructure.
  • Collaborative work culture with emphasis on personal and professional growth.
Things to weigh
  • The role requires significant hands-on experience in a regulated financial environment, which may limit applicants without such a background.
  • The position involves managing complex programs across multiple functions, which could be challenging in a fast-paced startup environment.
  • No specific salary range is provided in the posting, which may require negotiation.
  • The role is based in the US and requires travel, which may not suit all candidates.
