WHO WE ARE
At Trustly, we're building a smarter, faster, and more secure financial future by revolutionizing the world of payments. As a global leader in Open Banking Payments, we are establishing Pay by Bank as the new standard at checkout, providing unparalleled freedom, speed, and ease to millions of consumers and merchants worldwide.
 
Our Ambition: To build the world’s most disruptive payment network and redefine what the payment experience should feel like.
 
Trustly is a global team of innovators, collaborators, and doers.  If you are driven by a strong sense of purpose and thrive in a dynamic, entrepreneurial, and high-growth environment, join us and be part of a team that’s transforming the way the world pays.

Compensation is a living system.

As Trustly grows, reward structures must evolve alongside it, balancing competitiveness in global talent markets with fairness, transparency, and financial discipline.

You will be responsible for shaping and evolving the company’s compensation philosophy, overseeing global pay review cycles, governing equity programs, and building strong reward analytics that support workforce planning and cost forecasting.

Success in this role is not simply about maintaining reward frameworks. It is about ensuring compensation remains a credible strategic lever for performance, retention, and long-term business growth.

What You'll do

    You’re a senior reward leader who combines strong commercial judgement with analytical depth and pragmatic execution.

    You’ve likely built or evolved reward frameworks inside a scaling technology or fintech organisation and are comfortable partnering directly with Finance and executive leadership on compensation strategy.

    You’re confident working across complex international environments and have the credibility to challenge when necessary while maintaining trust with senior stakeholders.

Who you are

  • Experience leading Total Rewards functions in international organisations

  • Deep understanding of compensation frameworks, equity programs, and incentive design

  • Experience partnering closely with Finance on workforce modelling and cost forecasting

  • Exposure to multi-jurisdiction reward governance, particularly across Europe

  • The ability to balance strategic thinking with operational depth in fast-growing environments

  • Experience within fintech or similarly fast-paced global technology companies is strongly preferred, particularly within organisations operating at a comparable stage of growth.

Applications for this role are accepted on an ongoing basis.

What We Do

At Trustly, we envision a world in which online payments are fast, simple and secure for everyone — merchants, consumers and banks alike. One hundred years ago, cash was king. People got paid in cash, carried it in their wallets, and bought things with it at the local store. Payment was easy. Oh, how the times have changed. Today, our salaries are deposited straight into our bank accounts and we shop online, from merchants all around the world. So why is it so hard to pay straight from our bank accounts? For consumers, paying online should be as easy as sliding a bill across the counter. And accepting payments and issuing refunds should be the least of merchants’ worries. Credit cards, debit cards, e-wallets, invoices and cash-on-delivery are all middlemen levying fees, debt and interest for the simple task of moving money from one person to another. At Trustly, we work hard to make online payments easy.

Why Work With Us

At Trustly, we work hard to make online payments easy. We’re dynamic, not stuffy. We’ve got the drive and ambition of a startup and the experience and advantage of a scale-up, all wrapped up in one amazing team. The pace is fast, and change is frequent. We prioritize agility to adapt to whatever tomorrow brings.
