From concept to launch, from license to live transactions — Skogos is where global fintech gets built, scaled, and delivered across multiple verticals: low-risk,  high-risk, crypto, and other payment industries.

We’re a global fintech holding focused on creating, launching, and scaling payment solutions worldwide. PSPs, processing platforms, merchant infrastructure — we don’t just advise, we build, operate, and optimize businesses from zero.

We’re entering a new phase: launching our Canadian entity, Skogos, in Toronto. The MSB license is already secured. We’re looking for a CEO with full ownership, including account access and signing authority, to turn structure into a revenue-generating, fully operational business.

Your Mission

Lead Skogos Canada from launch to scale — turning a licensed entity into a fully functioning, revenue-generating company. Own processes, delivery, partnerships, team, and results. This is hands-on leadership with full strategic authority and operational accountability.

What You Will Do

Company Launch & Operations

• Lead the operational launch of Skogos in Canada (MSB entity already in place)
• Build internal processes: delivery, onboarding, compliance flows, reporting
• Coordinate legal, compliance, tech, and banking counterparts
• Ensure regulatory alignment and operational stability

Project & Delivery Management

• Manage delivery of payment solutions across all verticals: low-risk, high-risk, crypto, and emerging markets
• Oversee timelines, dependencies, risks, and operational execution
• Act as the main bridge between product, tech, compliance, and commercial teams
• Guarantee smooth onboarding and long-term merchant performance

Business & Strategic Execution

• Drive early commercial strategy, merchant acquisition, and expansion across multiple markets
• Support partnerships with banks, PSPs, providers, and vendors
• Identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and growth opportunities
• Gradually build and manage a local or distributed team

Leadership & Ownership

• Take full ownership of outcomes — not just tasks
• Signing authority & account access: contracts, bank accounts, and key operational documents
• Make strategic decisions: set priorities, allocate resources, and define execution plans

• Represent Skogos externally with partners, regulators, and at industry events

• Strong project & delivery management skills
• Ability to work cross-functionally with tech, legal, compliance, and sales
• Structured thinking: processes, timelines, risks, execution
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and “build-from-zero” mode

Soft Skills
