About the Role
As Lead Payments Programme Manager, you will be the effective number two to the Payments leadership team. You will define priorities, connect local programmes to sunday's global payments architecture, and lead complex initiatives from discovery and business case through launch, adoption and measurement. You will work closely with Product, Engineering, Finance, Legal, Operations, Sales, Commercial and external financial partners. Over time, you may also help build and lead a team of programme managers.
Responsibilities
- Own the payments portfolio and territorial priorities, identifying the highest-impact opportunities across architecture, optimisation, monetisation and new products.
- Lead the launch of new payment products and solutions, from opportunity framing and business case through design, partner selection, implementation, launch and adoption.
- Assess local and territorial payments programmes against sunday's global architecture and priorities, making clear recommendations and trade-offs.
- Coordinate cross-functional delivery across Product, Engineering, Finance, Legal, Operations, Sales and Commercial teams, creating clarity on decisions, ownership, risks and next steps.
- Manage relationships with PSPs, acquirers, banks, fintech partners and other suppliers where relevant to delivery.
- Build the governance, operating rhythm and decision-making mechanisms needed to keep complex programmes moving at speed.
- Connect delivery to business impact, including adoption, revenue, payment performance, operational efficiency, risk and customer outcomes.
- Use data, experimentation and structured analysis to validate priorities, learn quickly and improve the payments proposition.
- Help shape the Payments programme-management operating model and, as the organisation grows, support or lead other programme managers.
Requirements
- Right to work in France required.
- Significant experience owning complex programmes in payments, fintech, financial services, marketplaces or another regulated and operationally complex environment.
- A track record of taking initiatives end-to-end, from problem framing and business case through launch, adoption and measurable impact.
- Strong understanding of payment flows, partners and operating models. Relevant experience may include PSP or acquirer migrations, payment routing, local payment methods, payouts, settlement, reconciliation, treasury, monetisation or market expansion.
- The judgement to prioritise a focused portfolio, make trade-offs and stop or reshape work when the expected impact no longer justifies the investment.
- Experience working with senior stakeholders, external financial partners and teams with competing constraints.
- Comfort navigating regulatory, risk, operational and technical complexity, with the ability to make progress without having perfect information.
- Strong analytical and written communication skills. You can turn complex information into a clear recommendation and defend it with data.
- An ownership mindset, bias to action and the ability to create momentum across teams without relying on formal authority.
- A collaborative and pragmatic approach, with the humility to learn quickly and the resilience to keep going when plans change.
