Head of Business

🎯 Role Overview
PaySaxas is not looking for a strategy-only executive. The Head of Business is expected to operate close to execution, maintain cross-functional ownership, and ensure operational consistency across the full client lifecycle. Success in this role requires the ability to scale revenue, partnerships, and infrastructure without compromising operational control, onboarding quality, risk standards, or client experience.
 

The ideal candidate is a builder-operator with strong commercial judgment, an infrastructure mindset, and the ability to execute dynamically within a regulated fintech environment.

  initiatives with sales efforts to establish a scalable go-to-market (GTM) and revenue framework.
• Strategic Partnerships & Infrastructure Expansion: Manage and develop strategic relationships with correspondent banks, crypto exchanges, liquidity providers, MSBs, and fintech platforms. Identify new banking routes and settlement capabilities to strengthen market positioning.
• Operational Governance: Establish clear operational accountability across the entire client lifecycle (onboarding, activation, retention, expansion). Eliminate operational silos and ensure smooth coordination between Sales, Account Management, Finance, and Compliance.
• Team Development: Hire, manage, and mentor a high-performing, result-driven business team while maintaining hands-on operational involvement.

🛠 Required Skills and Qualifications

  flows, and regulated operational frameworks.

• Leadership & Execution: Strong operational leadership capabilities with the ability to implement scalable processes, OKR/KPI frameworks, reporting structures, ownership models, and execution discipline across teams.

•  Balancing Growth & Risk: Ability to balance commercial growth with compliance requirements, onboarding realities, and risk appetite considerations.
