Job description

The role

We're looking for someone to own the launch and operation of the Americas markets at Fuse - starting with North America. US Dollars are the most important currency in our network, allowing our global emerging market currencies to connect to the rest of the world, and we are looking to expand our banking network to support this business line.

You'd be the P&L owner of all things US / Canada / LATAM. From finding new banking partners to support our network, to managing the day to day operations of working with these partners, you'll have full accountability for the success of these markets. As our first hire in the US you'll be building a team from the ground up, reporting directly to our Chief Operating Officer, to support our existing USD volume and launch new markets.

Your day to day

  • Working with our existing correspondent banks in the US to make sure our USD virtual account customers have a smooth experience, including raising and managing issues both technical and operational;
  • Pitching Fuse to new banking partners to either de-risk our current setup or launch new products on USD rails;
  • Managing the profitability of our USD based business, working on margin improvements and new revenue streams;
  • Understanding licensing requirements of the Americas markets, working with our Chief Compliance Officer to plan new entities and licensing applications;
  • Working with our Chief Revenue Officer to understand client demand across the Americas region;
  • Working with our Engineering team to implement changes to our USD and Americas products

We expect you to run a localised Fuse in your region. This is an opportunity to lead our most important business line.

  • 10+ years working in payments, fintech or banking, preferably with experience in cross border payments across LATAM and North America
  • Prior experience launching and scaling a market or product in a startup or high-growth environment
  • Experience owning a P&L, with demonstrated success in driving revenue and improving margins
  • Familiarity with regulatory and licensing frameworks in the US and broader Americas region (e.g., MTL, IFE, MSB, bank charters)
  • Ability to get your hands dirty and lead by example, growing a team from zero - you need to be able to do all the jobs in your team before you hire them
  • Strong bias to execution
  • Thrive in a fast paced, entrepreneurial and ambiguous environment

    • Bonus points for

  • Existing banking relationships in the US or LATAM region
  • Experience working in emerging markets

  • Pay it forward days - we offer 2 annual pay it forward days where you can take time to volunteer for a charitable cause that is important to you
  • Wellness days - we believe you can only work your best when you feel your best, and we know working at Fuse is intense, so we offer 3 wellness days every quarter where you can take time to re-energise
