VP of Payments

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.

Key Responsibilities

• 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
• Work closely with Product, Technology, Risk, Finance, and Legal teams to enable new solutions and portfolio evolution
• Act hands-on in the development of new products, partnerships, and operating models—from design through execution
• Monitor market trends and anticipate strategic opportunities within the payments landscape
• Build, lead, and develop high-performing payments teams with strong ownership and accountability
• Represent RecargaPay in strategic industry forums and partner discussions as needed

Requirements

• Senior executive experience in payments and/or cards in Brazil
• Proven commercial track record working with issuers, acquirers, networks, processors, or major fintech players
• 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

Benefits

• Competitive and market-aligned salary.
• Annual award.
• Remote work — wherever you are, you’re part of the team!
• Home office allowance through a monthly deposit in the RecargaPay app.
• Health and dental plans with no co-pay.
• Life insurance.
• Flexible meal allowance (via Flash).
• TotalPass membership to take care of your health.
