About Nium

Nium is the leading global infrastructure for real-time cross-border payments. We were founded on the mission to deliver the global payments infrastructure of tomorrow, today. Our platform enables banks, fintechs, and global businesses to move money instantly, everywhere.

Co-headquartered in San Francisco and Singapore with offices in 14 markets worldwide, we are entering one of the most exciting chapters in our journey. In July 2025, we delivered the largest month in our 10-year history with record revenue, record volumes, and EBITDA profitability. Today, Nium moves nearly $50B in payments annually, almost entirely for enterprises, while continuing to strengthen an already healthy balance sheet.

It is an incredible time to join us, and we are only just getting started.

Our payout network spans 190+ countries and 100 currencies, with 100 corridors in real time. We power seamless transfers to accounts, wallets, and cards, support local collections in 35 markets, and run a card issuance business live in 34 countries. Backed by regulatory licenses in more than 40 markets, we make it simple for our partners to onboard, integrate, and scale globally. This scale and innovation have earned us recognition as one of CNBC’s World’s Top Fintech Companies 2025, winner of Best Cross-Border Payments Solution at the PayTech Awards, and inclusion in FXC Intelligence’s Top 100 Cross-Border Payments Companies list.

In 2024, we raised US$50 million in Series E funding at a US$1.4 billion valuation to accelerate network expansion, product innovation, and talent growth. With the B2B payments market projected to hit US$175 trillion by 2030, Nium offers ambitious builders the chance to shape the future of global money movement with the scale of a leader and the energy of a high-growth company.

About the role

Nium is seeking a highly strategic and hands-on Director of FP&A to lead our financial planning and analysis function. This role will own the company’s financial planning, forecasting, and performance insights, serving as a critical thought partner to executive leadership, the Board, and investors.

Reporting to the VP of Finance, the Director of FP&A will be responsible not just for financial outputs, but for helping the business understand reality, anticipate outcomes, and make better decisions in a complex, global payments environment. This is not merely a reporting role. It is a leadership role that requires strong judgment, deep operational understanding, and the ability to translate complexity into clear, actionable insight.

Own and lead the annual financial planning process, rolling forecasts, and long-range plans with clear timelines, accountability, and rigor.

Build and maintain driver-based financial forecasts grounded in operational reality, explicitly modeling seasonality, onboarding ramps, client concentration, timing lags, and variability.

Deliver timely and insightful budget vs. actuals analysis, translating financial variances into underlying operational and commercial drivers.

Provide client- and cohort-level financial insight, including analysis of top clients, pipeline dynamics, onboarding progress, churn, and margin performance.

Proactively identify risks, trade-offs, and emerging issues, communicating decision points early rather than explaining outcomes after the fact.

Partner closely with Revenue Operations, Solutions Engineering, Strategic Finance, and Treasury to ensure financial narratives align with commercial and operational reality.

Develop financial models and conduct scenario analysis to evaluate growth initiatives, investments, and strategic decisions.

Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing FP&A team, raising the standard for analytical thinking, judgment, and business understanding.

Prepare and support financial materials for executive leadership, the Board, and investors, including data room support and diligence requests.

Implement and scale next-generation FP&A systems and dashboards that integrate financial and operational data, reducing reliance on spreadsheet-centric workflows.

12+ years of progressive experience in FP&A, corporate finance, investment banking, or related roles.

Experience in fintech, payments, or other transaction-based technology businesses.

Proven ownership of complex, end-to-end planning and forecasting processes in high-growth, global environments.

Demonstrated ability to build driver-based financial models that reflect how the business actually behaves, not simplistic averages.

Strong judgment and intellectual curiosity, with a track record of constructively challenging assumptions and anticipating leadership questions.

Ability to clearly communicate financial insights and implications to executive, Board, and investor audiences.

High proficiency in Excel and modern financial planning and analytics tools.

Ability to manage ambiguity, large data sets, and multiple concurrent priorities with discipline and clarity.
