About us
Guru Pay is a Lithuania-based electronic money institution (EMI) offering a boutique payment

experience:
e-money, IBAN accounts, and domestic and cross-border payments, including SEPA, for clients across the EU and beyond. We're a regulated, small and ambitious team focused on high-quality service and long-term client success.

What you'll do
• Own the product portfolio including open banking, issuing, SEPA Direct Debit, card payouts, and any newly initiated projects—defining pricing, partner terms, eligibility criteria, launch frameworks, and GTM strategies for each line
• Manage partnerships and banking relationships across issuing, open banking, and settlement partners, while building bank correspondent connections to widen our currency and safeguarding coverage
• Drive marketing and brand strategies covering customer acquisition, retention, website presence, and the essential sales enablement tools that empower our commercial team
• Lead the development agenda at the Executive table, actively sitting on the Executive Committee (ExCo) and reporting directly to the CEO to align commercial goals with overall company strategy What we are looking for:
• 8 or more years in payments or financial services, including at least 3yrs leading a product portfolio or commercial function at a PSP, EMI, or bank.
• A track record of taking payment products to live revenue and running several product lines/projects in parallel
- launches you actually drove, not a book you inherited.
• Real command of payment product economics: partner cost stacks, pricing construction, settlement and reconciliation, and provable margin per product.
• Structured delivery experience
- stage gates, dependencies, risk logs, and sign-offs, not delivery by goodwill and group chat.
• Working knowledge of PSD2 and SCA, AML obligations, and card scheme rules
- enough to design around them rather than trip over them.
• Experience negotiating with issuing, open banking, and settlement providers, and with banks.
• Fluent English. Lithuanian is an advantage, not a requirement. Nice to have:
• PMO experience
- you have built, owned, or worked inside a formal project management framework (PRINCE2, PMP, or an in-house equivalent).
• Open banking / A2A, SEPA Direct Debit, or card issuing product experience.
• Relationships across EEA payment platforms or e-commerce ecosystems.
• You have led product owners as well as commercial people
- this team spans both.

What we offer
• Gross monthly salary from 5500 EUR gross plus a performance bonus tied to product launches and commercial results.
• A genuine ExCo seat: you own the portfolio and how the company delivers it.
• Three product lines going to market in parallel now, and the mandate to build the delivery framework they run through
- scope that does not come up often in a licensed institution. Direct access to the CEO, short decision paths, and no legacy structure to unpick.
• Structure of 4 days per week in our Vilnius office during standard business hours
• Professional development and certification budget
• Extra vacation day on your birthday
• Workations, wellness activities, and team events
• Freedom to shape and automate our internal environment
