Job description

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.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and grow a small but high‑performing team, coaching and empowering them to deliver measurable impact.
  • Partner with the executive team (CFO, COO, CEO, CRO, etc.) on strategic projects that drive revenue and enhance margins.
  • Drive M&A initiatives end‑to‑end : sourcing opportunities, evaluating synergies, leading due diligence, and managing post‑deal integration.
  • Create and deliver compelling investor presentations; regularly engage with investors and board members to communicate performance, growth plans, and strategic opportunities.
  • Define and track the internal and external KPIs that matter most for Nium’s long‑term growth; ensure leadership has clear visibility into performance against strategic priorities.
  • Analyze complex data sets and convert them into actionable intelligence.
  • Build strong relationships with cross‑functional leaders and industry partners to gather insights on competitor strategies, market shifts, and regulatory developments, translating these into recommendations.
  • Collaborate with FP&A to enhance financial models, build valuation frameworks, and drive scenario analyses to guide decision‑making.
  • Identify and evaluate growth opportunities across revenue, new markets, product commercialization, and cost optimization.
  • Partner with Product, Sales, Operations, and Legal teams to operationalize new markets and execute expansion strategies.
  • Lead performance tracking across functions, ensuring accountability to key metrics and strategic priorities.
  • Communicate effectively and clearly, simplifying complex data into insights while building trusted relationships with leadership, investors, and internal teams.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience in finance, strategy, or corporate development, ideally within fintech or payments.
  • Proven leadership experience managing and growing teams.
  • Self‑starter with the ability to manage projects independently.
  • Strong M&A background, from sourcing and due diligence through to post‑deal integration.
  • Expertise in financial modeling, valuation frameworks, and translating data into strategic insights.
  • Hands‑on leader with a propensity to dive into details and lead by example.
  • Confident communicator with excellent people skills; experienced presenting to boards, lenders, equity investors, and senior executives. Strong written communication skills are also essential.
  • Commercially minded, with an understanding of the regulatory and operational dynamics of global fintech and cross‑border payments.
  • Comfortable working across functions and influencing outcomes in fast‑paced, high‑growth environments.
  • Familiarity with multiple data and analytics systems (e.g., Tableau) as well as financial systems (e.g., NetSuite).
  • $176,000 - $264,000 a year
