Description
Nium, Global Leader in Payments
Nium, the global leader in 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 220+ markets, 100 of which in real-time. Funds can be disbursed to accounts, wallets, and cards and collected locally in 35 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.
The Role
We're looking for a driven North America Expansion Lead to own Nium's regulatory licensing strategy across the United States and Canada. You will lead Nium's efforts to obtain, activate, and operationalise its US Money Transmission Licence (MTL) programme, pursue crypto-specific licences and variations on a state-by-state basis, and support Nium's integration with Canada's real-time payment infrastructure.
This is a high-impact, execution-focused role that sits at the intersection of regulatory strategy, licensing operations, and cross-functional delivery. You will collaborate closely with Legal, Compliance, Product, Treasury, Tech, Ops, and Commercial teams to deliver successful market launches across North America. We’re looking for individuals with a regulatory background (be that legal or compliance) who have a hands-on operator / product mindset.
What You'll Own
Working with the Head of Global Expansion, you will execute Nium's North America licence roadmap across four core workstreams:
1. US Money Transmission Licences (MTLs)
Lead the end-to-end strategy and application process to obtain outstanding US MTLs, with a particular focus on securing licences in California and New York.
What we offer at Nium

We Care: The wellness of Nium’ers is our #1 priority. We offer medical coverage along with 24/7 employee assistance program, generous vacation programs including our year-end shut down. We also provide a flexible hybrid working environment (3 days per week in the office).
We Upskill Ourselves: We are curious, and always want to learn more with a focus on upskilling ourselves. We provide role-specific training, internal workshops, and a learning stipend.

What We're Looking For

Proven experience managing US state money transmission licence applications — from preparation and submission through to approval.
Strong understanding of US MTL frameworks, including state-specific requirements, surety bonds, net worth obligations, and examination processes.
Experience with crypto or virtual currency licensing at the state level (e.g. New York BitLicence, or equivalent) is highly desirable.
Familiarity with Canadian payment systems, including Payments Canada, Interac, and the Real-Time Rail, is a strong advantage.
Demonstrated ability to manage complex, multi-workstream licensing programmes in a fast-moving environment.
Experience working directly with regulators, including managing examiners and responding to regulatory queries.
Strong commercial and project management skills, with the ability to drive execution across cross-functional teams.
Experience in fintech, payments, e-money, cards, or stablecoins is strongly preferred.
About You
Nium is a fast-moving and flat organisation. We have a growing presence in North America and are at a pivotal stage of our US licensing journey. To be successful in this role you should be comfortable operating in ambiguity and taking ownership of decision making. In addition, you should be:
Hands-on with a “whatever it takes” attitude
Execution-focused and highly accountable
Comfortable navigating regulatory complexity across multiple US states simultaneously
Commercially minded and data-driven
Able to influence across global and regional teams
Excited to build in a fast-moving, high-growth environment
