Job Description

GM Payments

Financial services organisation is looking for a GM Payments.  

This is not a role for someone who has run a single payment product; rather, we are looking for someone who has owned a product or portfolio end-to-end, who understands the commercial levers behind adoption, and who can hold their own in conversations with stakeholders.

The successful candidate will be expected to:

• Set and own the strategy for payment products, including its commercial construct, roadmap and growth
• Lead engagement across a complex stakeholder base.
• Drive ecosystem adoption.
• Build and lead a high-performing team.

What we are looking for:

• 10 to 15 years in payments, banking or financial services, ideally with exposure across more than one payment type.
• Real product ownership, not just delivery — strategy, commercial model and P&L accountability.
• Strong fintech understanding and a track record of working at industry or ecosystem level.
• The presence and credibility to act as a spokesperson for the product externally.
• A leader people want to follow.

Based in Johannesburg. This is a confidential search being run by TSRecruitment.
