Role Overview We’re looking for a Senior Payments Program Manager to own the operationalisation of our payments strategy. Working closely with the Chief Payments Officer, this role will act as the conduit between strategy, operations, and execution—translating high-level priorities into clear initiatives and ensuring they are delivered end-to-end across payments and hardware (including terminals).
This is a high-impact individual contributor role focused on making things happen. You’ll bring structure to complex, often undefined problems, define what needs to be done, and drive delivery from idea through to implementation. As the central driver across teams, you’ll ensure strategic priorities are not only defined, but consistently executed.
Key Responsibilities
Strategy → Execution
Translate payments strategy into clear, actionable initiatives—defining what needs to be done, by whom, and by when
Identify and shape new initiatives required to deliver against strategic priorities
Break down complex problems into structured, executable plans
Program Ownership
Own and drive a portfolio of payments initiatives across acceptance, terminals, pricing, and payment optimisation
Track progress, manage dependencies, and ensure delivery against milestones
Payments & Hardware
Lead execution of terminal-related initiatives (e.g. new device rollouts, upgrade cycles, replacement strategies)
Define and operationalise approaches for legacy hardware (e.g. what to do with existing terminals, upgrade vs replace decisions)
Cross-functional Delivery
Act as the central conduit between strategy, operations, and execution across Payments, Commercial, Product, and Operations
Drive alignment and ensure teams are accountable for delivery
Execution & Accountability
Drive initiatives forward by working closely with commercial teams, ensuring progress against priorities such as adoption, wallet share, and pricing
Proactively identify blockers, challenge where needed, and drive resolution across teams
Maintain momentum across multiple initiatives, ensuring consistent progress and delivery
Reporting & Visibility
Provide clear, regular updates to leadership on progress, risks, and performance
Create visibility across all active payments programs and priorities
What we’re looking for
Hands-on experience in payments, fintech, or POS/terminal environments, with exposure to areas such as payment acceptance, acquiring, or hardware rollouts
Track record of delivering complex, cross-functional initiatives end-to-end (e.g. launches, migrations, rollouts, or process improvements)
Experience working closely with commercial / go-to-market teams to drive adoption, revenue, or wallet share
Ability to bring structure to ambiguous problems—defining initiatives, plans, owners, and timelines, and driving execution with limited direction
Proven executor who consistently follows through and delivers across multiple concurrent initiatives
Strong stakeholder operator, able to align product, commercial, and operations teams, challenge when needed, and maintain forward momentum
