Senior Scheme Manager

Nium, the Leader in Real-Time Global Payments

Nium, the global leader in real-time, cross-border payments, was founded on the mission to deliver the global payments infrastructure of tomorrow, today. With the onset of the global economy, its payments infrastructure is shaping how banks, fintechs, and businesses everywhere collect, convert, and disburse funds instantly across borders.

Its payout network supports 100 currencies and spans 220+ markets, 100 of which in real-time. Funds can be disbursed to accounts, wallets, and cards and collected locally in 35 markets. Nium's growing card issuance business is already available in 34 countries. Nium holds regulatory licenses and authorizations in more than 40 countries, enabling seamless onboarding, rapid integration, and compliance – independent of geography. The company is co-headquartered in San Francisco and Singapore.

We’re looking for a Senior Scheme Manager to join our rapidly growing Cards team. This role is critical to maintaining Nium’s global issuing capabilities and ensuring we meet—and exceed—card scheme compliance standards across all markets. You will serve as the key interface between Nium and card networks (Visa, Mastercard, Discover), ensuring smooth operations, timely certifications, and zero tolerance for compliance breaches.

This is a high-impact, cross-functional role that touches compliance, operations, product, and technology—ideal for someone who thrives in detail, owns deadlines, and can translate scheme rules into actionable internal processes.
