VP, Barbados

About the role

CRNCY is expanding its position in Barbados. We're looking for the person who will lead the country as local CEO — owning the P&L, the relationship with regulators and employers, and commercial execution.

Responsibilities

Own the full country P&L. Define and drive commercial and product strategy, working directly with Credit and Marketing. Build and manage relationships with regulators and government bodies in Barbados. Lead employer relations and develop payroll-deduction channel partnerships. Build and lead a multi-layered local team, from hiring through performance management.

Lead operational expansion where needed — site selection, lease negotiation, and build-out. Negotiate and establish banking relationships and credit facilities for the country operation. Track and report on country performance, adjusting strategy as market conditions evolve.

Requirements

Requirements 10+ years of progressive senior leadership experience in financial services, fintech, lending, or retail. 5+ years in a C-level (or equivalent) role with direct P&L ownership. Demonstrated experience building or scaling an operation from the ground up (retail, branch network, or similar). Proven ability to negotiate and establish banking relationships or credit facilities.

Established relationships with regulators and government bodies, or clear evidence of having built them from scratch in another market. Bachelor's degree required.

Nice to have

Track record of growing an active customer base through localized marketing and operational improvement. Prior experience specifically in the Caribbean or a comparable emerging market.

Who you are

Strategic thinker with real execution ability and attention to detail. Strong executive communication skills. People-oriented, hands-on leadership style suited to a fast-paced environment. Cultural intelligence and comfort operating across government, banking, and commercial stakeholders.
