Director - Paywise+ in London

What if your next role gave you full ownership of a high-growth fintech product — with the backing, customers, and scale of an established tech leader?

PayWise+ is Access PaySuite’s fast-growing financial wellness and payroll-linked payments business, helping organisations support the financial wellbeing of their employees through embedded finance solutions.

We’re now looking for a commercially driven, entrepreneurial leader to take PayWise+ to its next stage of growth.

The Opportunity:

This is more than a functional leadership role — you will take full ownership of the business, with responsibility for strategy, product, commercial performance, and P&L.

You’ll lead PayWise+ end-to-end across strategy, product, commercial and operations, with the autonomy to shape its future and the support of one of the UK’s leading software businesses.

You’ll inherit:

• A £multi-million revenue business with strong foundations

• A high-quality, cross-functional team of ~15 (UK + Romania)

• Access to 160,000+ Access Group customers as a powerful embedded growth channel

You’ll be responsible for accelerating growth, shaping the product, and scaling the business.

What You’ll Be Responsible For:

• Own and grow the business
  Full P&L accountability — driving revenue, profitability, and long-term value

• Define and execute the growth strategy
  Shape and deliver the go-to-market approach across SMB and mid-market customers, leveraging Access’ ecosystem

• Lead a cross-functional organisation
  Inspire and develop a 15-person team across product, engineering, sales, and marketing

• Drive product innovation
  Translate customer needs into a compelling roadmap and bring products to market at pace

• Build strong internal influence
  Partner with senior leaders across Access to unlock growth, resource, and alignment

• Operate at pace
  Combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution to deliver results quickly

What Makes This Role Exciting:

• ✔ True ownership – Run a business, not just a function

• ✔ High growth potential – Significant headroom to scale revenue and impact

• ✔ Backed by scale – Leverage Access Group’s customer base, infrastructure, and brand

• ✔ Entrepreneurial environment – Autonomy to shape strategy and make decisions

• ✔ Visible leadership role – Work directly with senior leadership and influence at the highest levels

• ✔ Product + commercial blend – Rare opportunity to own both sides of the equation

What We’re Looking For:

We’re looking for a commercially sharp, high-energy leader who thrives in fast-paced, growth environments.

You’ll likely bring:

• Experience owning and growing a business unit, product, or P&L

• A strong track record in fintech, payments, SaaS, or embedded finance (helpful but not essential)

• Deep commercial instincts — you understand pricing, growth levers, and GTM strategy

• The ability to translate customer needs into product outcomes

• Experience leading cross-functional teams (sales, product, engineering)

• A highly proactive, self-starting mindset — you bring ideas, not just execution

• Strong stakeholder influence skills in a matrix organisation

• Energy, ambition, and a desire to step into a broader leadership role

Who This Role Is Perfect For:

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Is already operating just below GM level and ready to step up

• Wants more ownership, autonomy, and impact

• Enjoys building and scaling products in fast-moving environments

• Combines commercial thinking with product understanding

Location & Package:

• London preferred (regular in-office collaboration highly valuable)

• Competitive salary + performance-based bonus

• Flexibility for the right individual
