Job Description
Come Make an Impact on Millions of Brazilians!
At RecargaPay, we’re on a mission to deliver the best payment experience for Brazilian consumers and small businesses — by building a powerful digital ecosystem where the banked and unbanked connect, and where consumers and merchants have a one-stop shop for all their financial needs.
We serve over 12 million users and process more than USD 4 billion annually. We’ve been profitable since 2022 and operate our own credit business. We are an AI-first, 100% remote team, scaling in the rapidly changing Brazilian financial market.
Our goal? Deliver the best payment experience in Brazil for people and small businesses alike.
We value autonomy, ownership, and a bias for action. We’re looking for people who are curious, hands-on, and driven by impact — who want to solve real problems, work with strong teams, and rethink what’s possible.
If you’re ready to do your best work, at scale, with purpose — this is your place.
About the Role
We are looking for a VP of Payments to lead the strategy and execution of RecargaPay’s Payments Business. This is a critical leadership role with significant autonomy and full accountability for results. The VP of Payments will report directly to the SVP of Product and will play a central role in shaping partnerships, products, and business models that drive the company’s growth.
This is an executive, business-oriented role with deep exposure to Brazil’s payments ecosystem.

Define and lead RecargaPay’s payments and cards strategy, aligned with the company’s growth and profitability goals
Build and maintain senior-level strategic relationships with issuers, acquirers, networks, processors, and fintech partners
Structure, negotiate, and close complex commercial agreements, including pricing, revenue-sharing, and incentive models
Own the payments P&L, making clear trade-off decisions between growth, margin, and efficiency

Represent RecargaPay in strategic industry forums and partner discussions as needed
Senior executive experience in payments and/or cards in Brazil

Strong negotiation skills and demonstrated ability to close strategic, high-impact deals
Solid business acumen, including pricing, P&L ownership, unit economics, and strategic trade-offs
Experience operating in fast-paced, high-growth environments with significant autonomy
Hands-on, builder mindset (this is not a purely corporate or relationship-management role)
Strong product understanding in payments (not a hardcore technical role, but product-savvy)
Mature leadership style with high ownership, low ego, and results orientation
Nice to Have
Previous experience in fintechs, scale-ups, or technology-driven financial services companies
Experience launching or scaling payment and card products
Background in transformation or rapid-growth environments
