About the role

We're looking for a Treasury Lead to run the operational core of a cross-border payments business — liquidity across currencies and stablecoins, funding payout partners on time every time, and keeping a tight grip on FX exposure that moves daily. You'll work alongside the Head of Finance and own the treasury function day to day as we go single-threaded on scaling our payment network. This isn't a back-office treasury role. We move real money across fiat and stablecoins in Africa, and we're expanding quickly into South Asia. Treasury is the heartbeat of the company, not a support function — and you'll own it.

A few reasons why you might find this exciting:

1. Treasury that actually matters — when float is tight and a corridor needs funding, treasury is what keeps the company moving. Your decisions have immediate, visible consequences for whether payments clear.
2. Crypto-native settlement — we use stablecoins as settlement rails. You'll run live stablecoin liquidity, digital-asset custody, and the fiat↔stablecoin conversions that make our corridors work.
3. Build the function properly — controls are still being put in place. You'll own the reconciliation discipline, the daily treasury position, and the operating procedure that the rest of the team relies on.
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 daily treasury position — cash and float across every bank account and stablecoin wallet, with a clear, modelled view of what's usable and what's committed
• Manage liquidity 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 the reconciliation cadence — matching what we sent, what partners received, and what reached recipients — and bring the daily automated position to the point where the founders can rely on it
• Manage banking and payout-partner relationships from a treasury standpoint, including onboarding new rails and reducing single-point-of-failure concentration
• Maintain the liquidity, working-capital, and runway models that feed the monthly finance pack
• Own FX risk management end to end — monitor exposure across corridors, set the hedging approach, and execute the actions yourself
• Drive automation of the treasury process alongside engineering — moving the daily reconciliation and position from manual work to a reliable automated pipeline
• Hold the line on treasury controls — clean separation between who executes and who reconciles, with no exceptions
