  • Hyper-Growth & Forward Planning: Translate business and product objectives into actionable operational plans and build readiness for new products, customer segments, and partnerships.
  • Customer & Commercial Outcomes: Drive improvements in customer satisfaction, retention, service quality, resolution times, product reliability, and cost-to-serve.
  • Leadership: Lead and develop VPs, Directors, and Senior Managers while building a high-performance culture centred on ownership, data, speed, customer outcomes, and continuous improvement.

Qualifications

  • 18+ years of overall experience, including significant senior operational leadership experience.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Engineering, or a related field; MBA from a Tier 1 business school preferred.
  • Proven leadership experience in hyper-growth FinTech, digital-first financial services, or consumer technology.
  • Strong career progression across Core Operations, Business Operations, Banking Operations, Payments, Credit, Compliance, Risk, Process Excellence, or Automation.
  • Demonstrated success in scaling large, complex, technology-enabled operations.
  • Strong understanding of automation, AI-led operations, compliance, KYC, fraud, risk controls, and process improvement.
  • Experience managing multiple functions and leading senior leadership teams.
  • Strong understanding of operational budgets, unit economics, cost-to-serve, and customer outcomes.
  • Experience within an international financial-services ecosystem is strongly preferred.

Preferred Skills

  • Deep expertise in automation, AI-enabled operations, and operational risk & compliance.
  • Strong stakeholder management and cross-functional collaboration skills.
  • Strategic and data-driven approach to decision-making.
  • Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment.

  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing
