About the role
We're looking for a Head of Payments to own Halliday's payments network end-to-end. This is a senior individual contributor role, reporting into Product, for someone who pairs rigorous analytical and technical judgment with the partnership instincts to negotiate and hold strong commercial terms.
Responsibilities
- Own and grow our fiat coverage. Own what we support today and what's next, including country-by-country support, chargeback policies, commercial terms, and unit economics. Build the analytical foundation we use to defend provider and launch decisions.
- Translate vendor capabilities into product strategy. Turn what partners can do into coverage strategy, unit economics, and integration specs. Work closely with cross-functional partners to inform and close coverage gaps.
- Drive launch sequencing and provider strategy. Identify the next corridors to invest in and make an analytical, technical and business case to pursue them.
Requirements
- Analytical Depth: You've built or maintained models that drove real decisions - not been adjacent to them. Strong command of Excel and comfort owning unit-economics analysis.
- Relationship Ownership: You've personally managed PSP, banking, acquirer, or stablecoin orchestrator relationships. You know what good commercial terms look like and have run negotiations yourself.
- Product Judgment: A track record of analysis translating into actual launch or substitution decisions.
- Payments Experience: 6-10 years in payments, with 3+ in partnerships, product, corp dev, or a related seat in Payments.
- Collaborative Leadership: You build trust and drive alignment across technical and non-technical cross-functional teams, including Engineering, Sales and Legal.
- Crypto Curiosity: You don't need to be crypto-native, but we are looking for candidates with a credible interest in the space.
- Experience with KYC, fraud, and chargeback policy across multiple geographies
- Experience on the other side of the table from us, such as at an onramp or PSP
- Familiarity with crypto/Web3 infrastructure and stablecoin payment rails
- Why Work at Halliday?
- A role with significant autonomy to build out the next generation infrastructure of the blockchain space.
- Competitive compensation package, with flexible PTO and a friendly work environment.
- For international candidates - we offer visa sponsorship!
