CFO / Financial Director (International Payments Business)

Company: An established international payments company operating in cross-border money transfers across multiple jurisdictions. Company details will be shared with shortlisted candidates.

About the Role: We're looking for a hands-on financial leader who owns the full financial architecture of a payments business: cash flow, treasury, banking relationships, PSP infrastructure, compliance, and corporate structure across multiple jurisdictions.

This role sits at the intersection of finance, treasury, payment operations, compliance, and legal/corporate structure. You'll work closely with the owners, turning the financial picture of the business into something transparent and actionable for decision-making.

This is a hands-on role: you'll personally dig into the numbers, payment flows, bank statements, PSP reports, and contracts, and define what needs to change.

Responsibilities:

• Manage treasury and cash flow across banks, PSPs, legal entities, and currencies; build cash flow forecasts and monitor liquidity in real time
• Prepare management reporting: Balance Sheet, P&L, indirect Cash Flow, consolidated across entities, regions, or business lines
• Build and maintain relationships with banks, PSPs, auditors, and legal/compliance advisors
• Manage payment routes, settlements, commissions, rolling reserves, chargebacks, and reconciliation
• Define requirements for reporting and internal finance tools (CRM/ERP/BI) as part of the finance function's ownership
• Support corporate structure, legal entity management, and compliance readiness across jurisdictions
• Act as a financial partner to the owners on key business decisions

Requirements

• Recent, hands-on experience (last 2-3 years) with the Russian market: payment routes, banking, compliance, and regulatory constraints. Experience limited to before 2022 is not sufficient.
• Real ownership of treasury and cash flow: managing liquidity across multiple banks, PSPs, entities, and currencies
• Background in payments, fintech, PSP, iGaming/betting/gambling, high-risk merchant business, forex/brokerage, or crypto payments (with a strong compliance and treasury component)
• Experience with multi-jurisdiction structures: several legal entities, banks, currencies, and regulatory environments
• Comfortable working with incomplete data and unstructured processes, with the ability to build clarity from scratch

Nice to Have:

• Experience in iGaming, betting, or affiliate/marketing holding structures
• Experience with Cyprus, CIS, Canada, Hong Kong, Curaçao, Anjouan, or the EU
• Experience building a finance function from scratch or managing a small team
• Experience automating reporting or implementing BI/dashboard tools
• English fluency for talks with banks, PSPs, and auditors
• Experience in a lean international company with hands-on involvement in daily

Benefits

• Direct access to the owners and real influence on the business
• The chance to shape the finance function as the company grows, and expand your scope over time
• A stable, established business in a growing market
• Compensation discussed individually based on experience
