Ready to leave the old guard behind and build the future of payments?

My client, a fast-growing FinTech, is successfully challenging the traditional banking model. Processing up to 2 million payments daily through their platform they work directly with central banks and innovative clients worldwide. Founded a decade ago and now a fully licensed bank with operations in 9 countries.

They're not trying to be the next traditional bank. They're building the infrastructure that makes traditional banks irrelevant.

The Role:

• I'm looking for a commercial leader ready to own the UK/European client portfolio for this challenger. You'll lead a team of 15 professionals, drive significant revenue growth, and shape how they serve the next generation of FinTech's, payment businesses, and progressive financial institutions.
• This isn't about managing what exists, it's about unlocking what's possible. You'll own client relationships from post-onboarding through to maximum value realisation, identifying opportunities across the portfolio and working as an integrated part of the wider commercial team to shape market strategy.

The Candidate:

• You've spent 10+ years in commercial leadership within Payments, Corporate Banking, FinTech, or progressive financial services.
• You've managed relationships that matter - where you're in the room when strategic decisions are made.
• You've built and led teams successfully. People want to work for you because you develop them and drive results.
• You're commercially astute with the intellectual rigor to understand complex business models, but you're also a natural relationship builder who can influence at all levels. You thrive in fast-paced environments where agility beats process.
• Most importantly, you're ready to trade a big brand name for the opportunity to build something genuinely different.

Why Join:

This is a rare opportunity to join a licensed bank that operates with FinTech speed and ambition. All the infrastructure and credibility of a regulated institution, none of the bureaucracy.

The culture is genuinely international and collaborative, with a strong in-office presence in London where people actually want to be.

If you're a commercial leader in payments or FinTech who's ready for a role with genuine impact and autonomy, please get in touch.
