Nium, the Leader in Real-Time Global Payments

Nium, the leading global infrastructure for real-time cross-border payments, was founded on the mission to deliver the global payments infrastructure of tomorrow, today. With the onset of the global economy, its payments infrastructure is shaping how banks, fintechs, and businesses everywhere collect, convert, and disburse funds instantly across borders. Its payout network supports 100 currencies and spans 190+ countries, 100 of which in real-time. Funds can be disbursed to accounts, wallets, and cards and collected locally in 40 markets. Nium's growing card issuance business is already available in 34 countries. Nium holds regulatory licenses and authorizations in more than 40 countries, enabling seamless onboarding, rapid integration, and compliance – independent of geography. The company is co-headquartered in San Francisco and Singapore.

About the role

Nium operates one of the most extensive real-time payment networks in the world — supporting pay-ins, payouts, FX, and collections across 190+ countries and 100+ currencies. At the center of this network is the platform and integration layer that makes every product work — whether it’s delivering payroll in Southeast Asia, collecting from merchants in Europe, or funding accounts in North America.

This role provides the backbone that powers all of Nium’s core products, ensuring they function reliably, securely, and at scale across geographies. From enabling real-time partner connections to orchestrating transaction flows behind the scenes, this platform layer is what makes our products interoperable and globally deployable.

As we continue to scale transaction volumes and expand coverage, the platform must meet new demands for scalability, observability, predictability, and traceability. We’re hiring a Director or Senior Director of Product to lead this transformation — architecting platform infrastructure, standardizing integrations, and building systems that ensure seamless operation for the world’s most demanding fintech customers.

Define feature expectations by market, segment, and use case (e.g. pay-in, payout, FX routing)
Align with commercial and compliance teams to prioritize capability expansion
Provide strategic visibility to leadership on coverage vs. opportunity

Partner Integration Strategy

Develop reusable integration models and templates to reduce engineering lift
Standardize onboarding workflows — from Postman collections to sandbox testing protocols

Implement playbooks and systems that reduce variability in partner launches

Team Leadership

Lead a team of PMs and collaborate deeply with Engineering, Ops, and Infrastructure
Build a strong culture of systems thinking, customer empathy, and operational rigor
Drive cross-functional alignment and accountability for platform outcomes
