Interim CEO - Fractional - Fintech

We are working with a global financial fundraising platform that is essentially a social enterprise and supports the charity sector.

They require an "Interim CEO" to help them through the process of obtaining a payments license with the UK financial regulator (FCA). It will likely be 1 day per week for 6 to 12 months. The role might evolve over time but the key focus is oversight of the license application.

Role & Responsibilities

• Help our client to create a strong UK governance structure that reflects the UK business's autonomy alongside the global / non-UK operations.
• Provide oversight to the regulatory license application and support to the consultant leading on this project.
• Help them to focus on operational excellence incl. AML/Risk management.
• Defining a robust business model that incorporates strong regulatory compliant relationship management.

The Desired Candidate

Someone with c‑suite/general leadership credentials in the UK regulated financial sector. Perhaps someone who is currently working in a "portfolio" manner and can fit in extra days and has experience building up fintech organisations from their early stages.

We need someone senior and experienced that can front up to the regulator and key stakeholders across the client organisation and move forward all elements of the license application (incl. business modelling for the future; structure of the SLT etc).
