This role

PayJoy is entering a new phase of growth in India, and the Country Manager will lead it.

They are accountable for the full P&L and serve as PayJoy's key representative to retailers, OEM partners, lenders, and regulators.

Successful candidates combine strategic clarity with an operator's hunger for execution. They know how to build teams in India from scratch, manage a regulated financial services business under RBI oversight, close device manufacturer and channel partnerships, develop both offline and online distribution, and think rigorously about lending economics and capital allocation. PayJoy is committed to building a dynamic, diverse team, and strongly encourages applications from women and underrepresented groups.

Own PayJoy India's full P&L, setting and delivering ambitious targets across originations, AUM, revenue, and profitability.

Develop and execute the India go-to-market strategy, spanning geographic rollout sequencing, offline B2B2C retail distribution, and online/D2C channel development.

Build the India organization from the ground up: recruiting, developing, and retaining a high-performing team across commercial, operations, risk, and support functions.

Manage the RBI relationship: ensure ongoing regulatory compliance, navigate evolving policy, and proactively engage regulators to protect and grow PayJoy's operating space.

Win and deepen OEM partnerships: secure device compatibility agreements and commercial programs with manufacturers in close coordination with PayJoy's global OEM team.

Drive cross-functional execution with product, engineering, risk, and people teams globally, delivering the India roadmap with speed.

Define and model PayJoy India's culture, consistent with the company's mission and principles.

10+ years of experience in financial services in India, with demonstrated success building or scaling a business.

Track record of building and leading large teams, including hiring senior leaders and scaling an organization from an early stage.

Experience working in or closely with a global company, with the cross-cultural fluency to operate effectively between a global HQ and a local India team.
