You'll embed automation, drive intelligence, and lead a team that acts as the heartbeat of financial flow.

This isn't a maintenance gig. It's a build-and-scale, roll-up-your-sleeves, challenge-the-status-quo kind of role.

The ideal candidate will be a strategic leader with a proven track record in building high-performing teams and implementing cutting-edge financial technologies.
