You will own the FX pricing platform end to end, covering how rates are sourced, controlled and delivered to every product. You will also own the automated treasury reconciliation that confirms every treasury movement is accounted for.\nYou will be the go-to person for FX configuration, rate integrity and reconciliation breaks, and the product owner taking these systems from manual processes to automated, production-grade infrastructure. The role requires someone who understands FX markets, is comfortable working directly with data, and has delivered systems into production rather than only specifying them.\nThis is not a pure operations or business analysis role. We are looking for someone who can run a live FX system with financial impact every day, while designing and implementing what replaces the manual parts of it.\n\nWhat You'll Do (Responsibilities):\nFX Pricing & Rate Management\nOwn the configuration of the FX pricing engine, including instruments, currency pairs, rate sources, quote objects, contracts, tariffs and trade modes.\n\nOnboard and maintain rate sources across market data providers, liquidity providers, card schemes, central banks and partner rates, ensuring uninterrupted quote delivery.\n\nSet and adjust treasury spreads in line with market conditions and pricing policy, and maintain the treasury rate methodology used by all products.\n\nConfigure FX pricing for new partners, products and corridors, including stablecoin pairs, with the Enterprise, Consumer and Network teams.\n\nFX Risk & Control\nRun and continuously improve the daily FX rate control process: identifying off-market and invalid quotes, investigating deviations against market and partner rates, and escalating where required.\n\nOwn FX alerting and monitoring, including deviation thresholds, exception lists and source freshness, replacing manual checks with automation.\n\nManage user roles and access rights in the FX system, maintaining segregation of duties across Treasury, Product, Enterprise and Finance.\n\nProvide FX evidence for audits, risk reviews and pricing governance, and supply data for gross margin analysis and the pricing committee.\n\nTreasury Reconciliation\nOwn the automated reconciliation of internal treasury transactions (FX deals and transfers) against bank and partner data, including matching logic, exception handling and the manual correction process.\n\nExtend reconciliation coverage to new banking and liquidity partners, defining data mappings and transformation rules for each.\n\nMaintain the logic that converts reconciled data into NetSuite journals, partnering with Finance and the Settlement and Reconciliation team on accuracy and audit trail.\n\nInvestigate and resolve reconciliation breaks independently, and report on status and recurring issues.\n\nBusiness Analysis & Implementation\nAct as the business analyst and product owner for all treasury technology initiatives. Gather, structure and validate requirements with stakeholders, and translate them into functional specifications, data models and acceptance criteria.\n\nLead delivery with Engineering through prioritisation, testing, release validation, user training and production cutover.\n\nDrive the roadmap towards an automated treasury FX platform covering price aggregation, FX deal execution with liquidity providers, real-time currency position monitoring, limits and FX booking.\n\nAnalyse data in SQL and build Python tooling for monitoring, bulk configuration and reporting, using AI-assisted development where it accelerates delivery.\n\nAct as the escalation point for FX configuration, access and data requests through the Treasury Helpdesk, and define and enforce Treasury acceptance standards for functionality delivered by other teams.\n\nWork independently on ambiguous problems, bringing structured solutions, and document processes, controls and configuration so that the platform does not depend on a single person.\n\nWhat You’ll Need To Be Successful In This Role:\nEssential:\n5+ years in FX within a fintech, payments company, bank or broker, in FX operations, pricing, treasury systems or FX product.\n\nStrong understanding of FX market mechanics, including bid/ask/mid, spreads and markups, cross rates, liquidity sources and FX risk drivers.\n\nStrong SQL, with the ability to query, validate and reconcile large transactional datasets independently.\n\nWorking Python, with the ability to build, read, test and maintain data logic, whether written by hand or with AI tools, and take accountability for the results.\n\nProven experience taking FX, treasury or reconciliation functionality from requirements through UAT into production.\n\nHands-on reconciliation experience, including matching logic, break investigation and the link to accounting entries.\n\nFamiliarity with APIs and integration concepts (REST, authentication, webhooks, JSON/XML).\n\nCompetencies:\nStrong attention to detail where configuration errors have direct financial impact, combined with the ability to see the bigger picture.\n\nSound judgement and confidence acting on non-routine market events.\n\nClear written communication of processes, controls and requirements to technical and non-technical stakeholders.\n\nProactive, self-starting approach with a track record of automating manual work.\n\nDesirable:\nExperience with market data providers (e.g. Refinitiv/LSEG) or trading and RFQ platforms (e.g. 360T); familiarity with the FIX protocol.\n\nExposure to FX execution, position management or treasury management systems.\n\nExperience with Databricks, NetSuite, or BI tools such as Superset or Metabase.\n\nKnowledge of payment rails, card scheme FX, or stablecoin FX.\n\nExperience in a regulated environment (FCA/EMI), including safeguarding.\n\nWhy Join Paysend?\nMake a Global Impact:\n\nJoin a company that is transforming how people and businesses move money around the world.
