About This Role

This is a finance leadership role inside a shared payments infrastructure company jointly owned by several Ethiopian private banks — a structure that makes the position unusual. You would be managing the financial engine of an institution whose "customers" are also its shareholders, which means reporting, pricing, and budgeting decisions carry both commercial and inter-bank political weight. It suits a finance professional who is comfortable operating at the intersection of banking and technology, and who can translate strategy into financial models rather than simply maintaining books.

What the Requirements Say About This Role

The emphasis on implementing strategic direction through financial modeling signals that PSS wants a forward-looking analyst-leader, not a compliance-focused controller — someone who can stress-test scenarios around transaction volumes and channel growth. Policy and procedure development being called out suggests the finance function is still maturing relative to the company's technical infrastructure, so the hire will likely need to build frameworks rather than inherit them. The executive seniority level implies the person will interface directly with bank shareholders and senior management, so credibility and communication matter as much as technical depth.

How to Approach This Application

Lead with evidence of building or overhauling finance functions — specific policies you drafted, models you designed, or reporting structures you introduced — rather than listing routine responsibilities. Because PSS is a switch company, demonstrate familiarity with transaction-based revenue, settlement flows, or card/payment economics if you have it; even adjacent experience in banking or fintech will stand out. Expect the employer to weigh your ability to work with multiple institutional stakeholders heavily, so mention any experience coordinating with boards, shareholders, or member institutions.

Best Fit

Who This Role Suits

Best suited to a senior finance professional with banking, payments, or financial services exposure who wants a leadership seat in Ethiopia's digital payments space. Competition is likely moderate but selective — the pool of candidates with both executive finance experience and payments-sector familiarity in Addis is small.
