About Us:

Finix is on a mission to create the most accessible fintech market in history. To do so, we are building the global operating system for fintech. We’re rewriting the financial services industry, one API at a time, to lower barriers to entry, drive competition, and make the financial system more equitable and accessible to all businesses around the world. 


Finix is unique in the market. We build payments infrastructure for vertically-focused software companies (think restaurant, yoga studio and winery software) and fintech providers so they can own and monetize payments without the heavy lift of building complex systems from scratch or relying entirely on disjointed third-party services. Our job is to make our customers’ lives easier by making payments invisible.


The Head of Finance reports to the COO and is a key member of the leadership team. Responsible for Finance and Investor Relations, this role requires a strong understanding of Finix’s strategy, mission, business model, and business priorities. The Head of Finance will partner closely with the Executive Team to lead, grow, empower, and inspire a cross-functional team to deliver our financial goals. The ideal candidate is an influential finance leader with investor relations experience capable of partnering and advising C-level leadership.


*The role will ultimately report to the CFO.
