Role
Who you are
- This role would suit someone with a background in executive support, coordination, or high-level project administration who is ready to step up into a broader operational role with greater ownership and autonomy
- The role is well suited to someone who is highly organised, commercially minded, and comfortable operating in ambiguity, and who is looking to develop into a stronger operator by owning work end-to-end rather than simply supporting execution
What the job involves
- The Strategic Projects Manager will work directly with the executive leadership team to coordinate and deliver high-priority strategic and operational initiatives across the business
- You will act as a central coordination point for cross-functional projects spanning multiple departments and jurisdictions, ensuring clear ownership, consistent progress, and disciplined execution against agreed business objectives
- A key part of the role is translating strategic intent into structured delivery, maintaining momentum across multiple parallel workstreams, and ensuring that critical initiatives are delivered effectively and on time
- This role sits at the centre of the business and is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced, high-accountability environments, enjoys solving complex operational challenges, and is confident working with senior stakeholders across finance, product, operations, and corporate functions
- Example projects may include coordinating PLC fundraising activity, supporting acquisition and due diligence workstreams, managing international office relocations, assisting with regulatory applications and onboarding in new jurisdictions, and overseeing critical infrastructure projects such as banking relationships, insurance, and key vendor transitions
- You will move beyond traditional executive assistance into the active delivery of cross-functional, business-critical initiatives across a listed, multi-jurisdictional organisation
- This includes working closely with the executive leadership team and taking responsibility for driving progress on strategic priorities and operational initiatives that span multiple departments
- Support delivery of company-wide strategic priorities and long-term business objectives
- Track progress against strategic initiatives and ensure accountability across teams
- Build reporting frameworks and provide regular progress updates to the executive team
- Identify blockers and proactively drive resolution
- Lead and coordinate complex cross-functional business projects from planning through execution
- Manage timelines, milestones, deliverables, dependencies, and project reporting
- Ensure multiple concurrent strategic initiatives remain on track
- Support execution of fundraising activities and acquisition-related projects
- Coordinate due diligence processes and manage communication across internal and external stakeholders
- Assist with international expansion initiatives including new office launches and operational setup
- Manage high-priority operational projects including office relocations, banking onboarding, insurance renewals, vendor transitions, and infrastructure projects
- Coordinate external partners including legal advisers, banking institutions, consultants, and service providers
- Work closely with the CEO, COO, CFO, and Chief Product Officer on cross-functional initiatives
- Prepare executive reporting and maintain visibility across active strategic projects
- Support leadership meetings by tracking decisions, actions, and accountability
- Identify opportunities to improve internal processes and operational efficiency
- Implement systems and workflows that improve execution across the organisation
Salary benchmarks
Our take
In an interconnected world, foreign exchange is a necessary part of doing business, but few small-to-medium enterprises have the expertise to navigate large international payments. Regulations can be complicated, and transfers can cost up to ten times more than a payment within one country. Finseta, formerly Cornerstone, was founded with a mission to make these payments cheaper and more efficient.
Finseta is not the only player in the foreign exchange space, but its long experience in the market, combined with its responsiveness to the needs of business accounts, has won it a strong customer base of over 1400 clients. Moreover, its expansion to more complex transactions and customer needs, as well as a growing global reach.
Finesta has acquired companies like Pangea FX and Capital Currencies in a bid to accelerate its growth and expand its presence within its core markets. It has also brought on experienced payments industry professional James Hickman as CEO and is recruiting sales talent to capitalise on its strong performance.
