About Us
Paymend is an ambitious, remote-first fintech. We are profitable, growing, and focused on building with scalability and quality front of mind.
We are looking for a VP Finance to join our team. We value high-velocity decision-making, technical excellence, and the conviction to move projects forward at pace. This is a role for an analytical, hands-on financial architect who prefers building a scalable control engine to simply managing a reporting function , and who thrives in an environment where collective goals come first.
If you are a self-directed professional who is passionate about payments and wants to work as part of a great team and build for the future, we'd love to hear from you.
The Role
This isn't a keep the lights on position. You will be the financial backbone of the company, owning everything from daily high-volume reconciliation to strategic planning and global treasury. You will be building the plane while flying it.
Core Responsibilities:
- Financial Operations: Own the month-end close for 10+ legal entities across various international jurisdictions.
- Reconciliation & Controls: Reconcile high-volume transaction data across multiple Payment Service Providers (PSPs) and manage rolling reserves.
- Revenue & Billing: Manage nuanced revenue recognition for our MOR model, ensuring merchant billing accuracy across interchange pass-throughs and chargeback fees.
- Strategic Finance: Partner with leadership on pricing models, expansion, and negotiating processor commercial terms.
- Corporate Governance: Coordinate with external advisors on global corporate structures, tax compliance, and statutory filings.
What You Bring
- Payments Expertise: 7+ years in finance, with at least 3+ years specifically in payments, fintech, or high-volume transaction environments.
- Technical Depth: A strong grasp of interchange, chargebacks, reserves, and processor economics.
- Scale Experience: Hands-on experience with multi-entity structures and massive transaction volumes where every dollar needs to tie out.
- Systems Familiarity: Experience with ledger platforms (like Modern Treasury) or payment platforms (like Stripe) is a significant plus.
- Builder Mentality: You thrive in ambiguous, high-growth environments and prefer building functions to maintaining them.
Why Join Us
- Impact: Full ownership of the finance function with no layers between you and the founders.
- Stability: Join a profitable, bootstrapped company with a clear growth trajectory.
- Flexibility: Remote-first culture with a distributed team across 5+ countries.
