Finqware is a European fintech company building real-time financial data and payment infrastructure for enterprises. As a licensed Payment Institution, we design and operate next-generation solutions that turn Open Banking into real, scalable business value.

One of our strategic products is FinqLink, an account-to-account (A2A) payment solution designed to:

• replace card payments where they are inefficient or expensive, and
• create entirely new digital payment use cases in cash-heavy or under-digitized environments (distribution, invoicing, in-app flows, platforms)

FinqLink is already live in multiple real-market implementations, including:

• white-label top-up solutions for digital banks,
• in-app payments for large retail and distribution players,
• payment links and QR-based invoice payments for leasing and financial services companies.
  

We are now looking for a Payments Innovation Program Manager to take full ownership of FinqLink’s market traction, commercial rollout, and product evolution.

• Own the end-to-end growth of FinqLink as a product and commercial program, with clear targets for transaction volumes and generated revenues.
  
• Design and execute hands-on go-to-market plans, not just strategy:
  • direct commercial initiatives with key clients,
  • vertical-focused rollout plans (platforms, distribution, invoicing, in-app payments),
  • pilot projects converted into scalable deployments.
    
• Identify, open, negotiate, and implement strategic partnerships:
  • merchants and platforms,
  • banks and financial institutions,
  • system integrators via our FLIP – FinqLink Integration Partners program.
    
• Act as the main interface between market needs and internal teams:
  • define, prioritize, and clearly articulate product and UX improvements,
  • work closely with engineering, product, and compliance teams to deliver them.
    
• Actively contribute to commercial execution:
  • support key sales discussions,
  • help structure commercial offers and value propositions,
  • remove friction in adoption and onboarding.
    
• Track and report performance metrics (volumes, revenues, active partners, live use cases).
  
• Collaborate closely with the founding team and report directly to the CEO.

• 5+ years of experience in payments, fintech, or financial infrastructure, in roles that combine product exposure with commercial responsibility.
• Strong understanding of:
  • card payment ecosystems,
  • alternative payment methods (A2A, Open Banking),
  • cash-heavy market dynamics and how to digitize them.
• Proven ability to:
  • work with technical teams on product improvements,
  • translate market feedback into concrete product requirements,
  • execute go-to-market initiatives, not just design them.
• Comfortable operating across functions: product, tech, sales, partnerships.
• Structured, hands-on, and outcome-driven mindset.
• Fluency in English and Romanian.

Nice to have:

• Experience with payment processors, card schemes, or acquiring.
• Exposure to large merchants, platforms, or distribution networks.
• Experience working with system integrators or partner-led sales models.

• Competitive fixed monthly retainer + variable component linked to real results.
• Ownership over a strategic product with existing market traction.
• Direct access to decision-making and product direction.
• High autonomy and visibility inside the company.
• The opportunity to shape how next-generation digital payments scale in Romania and beyond.

• Build and scale real payment use cases, not slideware.
• Work at the intersection of product, technology, and commercial execution.
• Influence a core product in a fast-growing European fintech.
• Be part of a senior, founder-led team building long-term infrastructure.
