The Role

This is a high-ownership, high-intensity role for someone who can operate as an extension of the CEO. You’ll work across strategy, business, operations, and execution — taking ambiguous problems, breaking them down, and driving them to outcomes.

Over time, this person is expected to take increasing ownership of the CEO’s responsibilities and operate as a potential successor to the CEO.

What You'll Do

  • Work directly with the CEO on company strategy, priorities, and critical business initiatives, turning decisions into execution.

  • Own high-impact, cross-functional projects across GTM, Product, Operations, Finance, and Partnerships.

  • Act as a force multiplier for the CEO — preparing for key decisions, driving follow-ups, and ensuring company priorities move forward.

  • Dive deep into business performance, identify gaps and opportunities, and drive initiatives that have a measurable impact on growth.

  • Represent the CEO and xPay across internal and external stakeholders when required, while building the judgment to independently make high-quality decisions.

What We're Looking For

  • ~10 years of experience in a high-growth startup, consulting, investment banking, fintech, SaaS, or a similarly demanding environment.

  • Proven ability to own complex, ambiguous problems end-to-end and drive execution without needing detailed direction.

  • Strong business judgment, analytical thinking, and exceptional communication skills.

  • Comfortable working across functions and with senior stakeholders, including founders, investors, customers, and partners.

  • Founder mindset — high ownership, low ego, extremely high execution standards, and the ambition to eventually operate the company.

Why xPay?

  • Work directly with the CEO on the most important problems facing the company.

  • Get exposure to every part of building and scaling a high-growth fintech.

  • Significant autonomy and the opportunity to shape company strategy and execution.

  • A unique path toward senior leadership and potentially running the company.
