Role Overview

We’re looking for a Senior Payments Program Manager to own the operationalisation of our payments strategy. Working closely with the Chief Payments Officer, this role will act as the conduit between strategy, operations, and execution—translating high-level priorities into clear initiatives and ensuring they are delivered end-to-end across payments and hardware (including terminals).

This is a high-impact individual contributor role focused on making things happen. You’ll bring structure to complex, often undefined problems, define what needs to be done, and drive delivery from idea through to implementation. As the central driver across teams, you’ll ensure strategic priorities are not only defined, but consistently executed.
