Head of Treasury | FinTech | Scale-Up

Zanda is an Executive Search partner working exclusively with high-growth start-ups and scale-ups as they strengthen their organisations with senior talent. Zanda partners with VCs, Founders, CEOs, and CFOs to deliver critical leadership appointments, on both an interim and permanent basis, at pivotal moments of growth.

We are supporting a high growth global Fin Tech group with multiple regulatory licences, more than 1,000 business clients, and payment infrastructure spanning multiple currencies, jurisdictions, and banking rails. Having built a highly scalable platform in a specialist market, the business now serves a broad international client base, with other regulated fintechs also licensing its technology. Finance and Technology are closely integrated by design, and this role sits at the intersection of both functions.

This is a broad, hands-on role with ownership across treasury operations, safeguarding, and payment infrastructure. You will be responsible for setting up their treasury function from scratch and partnering with finance across audits. You will also oversee the integrity of multi-currency cash and ledger positions, support banking and payment partner relationships, and ensure a robust control environment across regulated client funds.

Working closely with both Finance and Technology, you will drive process improvements, enhance reporting and data visibility, support strategic banking initiatives, and play a key role in the ongoing development and resilience of the firm's payments ecosystem.
