About the Company
Our client is a fast-growing global leader in next-generation payment solutions, powering some of the most dynamic sectors of the digital economy — including iGaming, Forex, Crypto, and eCommerce. With millions of secure transactions processed every month, the company is trusted by top-tier enterprises across Europe, Africa, LATAM, and Asia.
What truly sets them apart is their proprietary payment infrastructure, engineered for high adaptability, speed, and full regulatory alignment. The platform supports 60+ global and local payment methods — from cards and digital wallets to open banking and crypto rails — enabling seamless cross-border operations for high-growth businesses.
Their focus on innovation, scalability, and financial resilience positions them as a strategic partner for high-risk merchants and enterprise-level clients expanding globally. AI-driven routing, PCI DSS-certified security, and real-time fraud monitoring ensure industry-leading approval rates and maximum reliability.
To strengthen financial governance and support the next phase of global expansion, we are looking for a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) — a strategic, hands-on financial leader with deep expertise in treasury, liquidity management, international settlements, and crypto-finance. The ideal candidate can architect a financial system fit for a “fintech unicorn.”
