Job Description
Nium is the global infrastructure company powering real-time cross-border payments. Founded to deliver the payments infrastructure of tomorrow, today, we are building a programmable, borderless, and compliant money-movement layer that powers transactions between people, businesses, and intelligent systems — enabling banks, fintechs, payroll providers, travel platforms, marketplaces, and other global enterprises to move money instantly, anywhere in the world.
Co-headquartered in San Francisco and Singapore, with offices in 14 markets and team members across 20+ countries, we take pride in a culture anchored in Keeping It Simple, Making It Better, and Winning Together. 2025 was the strongest year in our 10-year history, with record revenue, record transaction volumes, and EBITDA profitability — and we are now entering one of the most dynamic chapters in our journey. We believe the best work happens face-to-face, and we operate a hybrid model with three in-office days per week to strengthen collaboration, alignment, and innovation.
We move over $50B annually across a network that spans 190+ countries, 100 currencies, and 100 real-time corridors. We power fast payouts to accounts, wallets, and cards; enable local collections in 35 markets; and support card issuance in 34 countries — all backed by licenses across 40+ markets.
With over $300M raised to date, Nium offers ambitious builders the opportunity to shape the future of global money movement — at scale.
The Role
We’re looking for a driven Expansion Manager — Stablecoins to own Nium’s stablecoin licensing strategy globally. Reporting to the Head of Global Expansion, you will lead new market entry across APAC, EMEA and the Americas, covering everything from regulatory strategy and licence applications through to operationalising those licences once granted.
This is a hands-on, high-impact role. We’re not looking for an adviser — we’re looking for an owner/operator who wants to get things done. You will work closely with Compliance, Product, Finance, Treasury, and Commercial teams to deliver successful market launches for Nium’s stablecoin products.
What You’ll Own
Working with the Head of Global Expansion, you will execute Nium’s global stablecoin licence roadmap. For each market in the roadmap you will:
Identify the optimal route to market based on the regulatory environment, local banking ecosystem, and Nium’s stablecoin product requirements.
Lead licensing strategy and regulatory engagement in each target market, owning end-to-end the application and authorisation process.
Operationalise new licences by working across Compliance, Product, Finance, and Treasury to put in place the policies, processes, and controls required to go live.
Establish local entities where required and develop hiring plans that satisfy regulatory obligations.
Track budgets, risks, and timelines, and report periodically to the Head of Global Expansion and senior leadership at Nium.
What We’re Looking For
You should have:
5–10 years of experience in legal, regulatory compliance, or consulting — ideally within fintech, payments, or financial services.
Strong working knowledge of stablecoin and digital asset regulation across one or more of APAC, EMEA, or the Americas.
Proven experience managing complex licensing or regulatory authorisation projects, ideally across multiple jurisdictions.
A track record of operationalising regulatory requirements — not just advising on them.
Experience engaging directly with regulators and navigating regulatory complexity.
Strong commercial awareness and project management skills.
Ability to work cross-functionally with Compliance, Product, Finance, and Treasury teams.
You Are
Nium is a fast-moving and flat organisation. The stablecoin regulatory landscape is evolving rapidly — and so are we. To be successful in this role you should be comfortable operating in ambiguity and taking ownership of decisions. In addition, you should be:
Hands-on with a “whatever it takes” attitude
Execution-focused and highly accountable
Comfortable navigating regulatory complexity across multiple jurisdictions simultaneously
Commercially minded and data-driven
Able to influence and collaborate across global and regional teams
Excited to build in a fast-moving, high-growth environment at the intersection of payments and digital assets
Location
This role is based in Mumbai, India. Travel across APAC, EMEA, and the Americas is required and essential for this role.
