We’re partnering with a high-growth, cross-border fintech payments company to appoint an experienced Programme Director on a contract basis. This is a senior delivery role, leading complex, multi-workstream programmes at the heart of a global payments platform.

This programme sits at the core of the company’s growth strategy and is focused on transforming how the business operates, scales and delivers value globally. It spans technology modernisation, operating model change, process digitisation, regulatory enablement and product evolution across multiple jurisdictions.

• Strong knowledge of cross‑border payments or high‑volume financial platforms
• Proven delivery across both business and technology change
• Experience operating in regulated, multi‑jurisdictional environments
• Senior stakeholder and governance leadership capability
• Thrives in fast‑paced, high-growth, and ambiguous settings
