About the role
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:
We are seeking an ambitious, self-motivated, and analytical Director of Strategic Finance and Corporate Development to join our finance leadership team. This role sits at the intersection of strategy, finance, and corporate development - driving high-impact growth initiatives, leading M&A activities, and ensuring Nium consistently delivers for our customers, investors, and teams. Most importantly, this role will be critical in analyzing data to advise executive leadership on major business decisions. The role reports directly to the Chief Financial Officer and will involve daily interaction given the scope of responsibilities. You will lead a small but growing team, build strong relationships across functions and regions, and collaborate closely with executive leadership. This is a unique opportunity to work with our global hubs - including San Francisco, India, Singapore, London, Malta, and more - and to play a pivotal role in scaling our business globally.
