Job Description

Why PayNet / Why Now

  • PayNet is transitioning from a single-entity mindset to a multi-entity, multi-stakeholder financial ecosystem.
  • Governance expectations from Board, regulators, and shareholders are increasing in complexity and scrutiny.
  • Finance must move beyond control execution into shaping decisions, structures, and risk posture.
  • The role defines how financial decisions are structured, approved, and governed across the Group.

TL; DR

  • Own and shape finance governance across PayNet at Group level.
  • Act as a trusted governance partner to Finance and stakeholders.
  • Develop judgment in how financial decisions are framed, approved, and controlled.
  • Build governance discipline that scales with PayNet's expansion.

Why This Role Matters

  • Weak execution at this layer creates governance gaps and late escalations.
  • Strong governance directly impacts Board confidence, regulator trust, and shareholder alignment.
  • Strong execution enables smoother Board processes, clearer approvals, and reduced risk.
  • This role develops judgment through real governance exposure, not backoffice policy work.

What You Will Actually Do

  • Serve as Finance's first line of defence for governance discpline, ensuring the Finance scorecard, policies, and operating procedures are current, coherent, and consistently applied.
  • Own Finance governance across the Group, shaping how financial decisions are structured, approved, and controlled across Board, committees, and management.
  • Lead Finance inputs into Board and committee papers, defining decision narratives, surfacing trade-offs, and strengthening approval clarity.
  • Act as central authority on financial governance and risk, aligning regulator-facing matters, new entity setups, and emerging financial risks with a clear, consistent position.

Examples of This Role in Practice

  • Shaping the financial narrative, risk framing, and approval pathway when a capital investment proposal lacks sufficient clarity for Board decision-making.
  • Evaluating trade-offs and influencing stakeholder decisions when shareholder-related proposals involve competing strategic priorities.
  • Prioritising risks and redefining approval boundaries when multiple finance initiatives create competing governance demands.
  • Aligning stakeholders and driving a coherent financial position when regulatory engagements require a unified organisational response.

What Will Help You Succeed

  • Strong grounding in finance, audit, risk, or governance within complex organisations.
  • Comfort working across functions and engaging senior stakeholders.
  • Strong attention to detail paired with practical, commercial judgment.
  • Comfort operating with ambiguity and defining structure where none exists.
