About the role

We’re looking for a Head of Treasury to own the financial core of a cross-border payments business: liquidity across currencies and stablecoins, funding payout partners on time every time, and a tight grip on FX exposure that moves daily. You’ll own the treasury function end to end, build the team around it, and work directly with the founders.

This is not a back-office treasury role. We move real money across fiat and stablecoins in Africa, and we are expanding quickly into new markets. Treasury is the heartbeat of the company, not a support function. When float is tight and a corridor needs funding, treasury is what keeps payments clearing. Your decisions have immediate, visible consequences.

A few reasons why you might find this exciting:

1. Treasury that actually matters. In most companies treasury is reporting. Here it is the operating engine. Whether a payment clears today depends on decisions you made yesterday.
2. Crypto-native settlement. We use stablecoins as settlement rails. You’ll run live stablecoin liquidity, digital-asset custody, and the fiat-to-stablecoin conversions that make our corridors work.
3. Build and lead the function. You won’t just run the process, you’ll define it: the controls, the automation, the daily position the founders rely on, and the team that executes it, starting with a Treasury Analyst reporting to you.
4. Founder-level exposure. You’ll work directly with the CEO, CTO, and Head of Finance. In a small team, your work is the company's financial nervous system.

What you'll do

• Own the treasury function outright: strategy, controls, execution, and the team behind it
• Own the daily treasury position: cash and float across every bank account and stablecoin wallet, with a clear, modelled view of what is usable and what is committed
• Set and run liquidity strategy end to end: prefund payout partners across African currencies, size positions against payout demand, and minimise idle cash without ever leaving a corridor short
• Own FX risk management: monitor exposure across corridors, set the hedging framework, and execute against it
• Own the reconciliation discipline: matching what we sent, what partners received, and what reached recipients, and drive it from manual work to a reliable automated pipeline alongside engineering
• Manage banking and payout-partner relationships from a treasury standpoint, including onboarding new rails and reducing single-point-of-failure concentration
• Build and lead the treasury team, starting with the Treasury Analyst and scaling as volumes grow
