About Tuza
Every time you tap with your card, that transaction passes through an acquiring bank. Tuza is building the technical infrastructure that enables to respond to rapidly changing payments landscape. We work with the majority of acquiring banks in the UK, including Barclays and Worldpay.

The Role

Forward Deployed Strategy is a new function at Tuza. You will be the architect of significant transformation for our banking customers. You'll be the bridge between Tuza's innovative payment solutions and our enterprise customers, ensuring smooth implementations that deliver real value.

You'll have autonomy to own the end-to-end implementation journey, being integrated into the client during the upstream sales process and owning the project planning and delivery through to customer success. Your success will be measured by how effectively you can turn complex requirements into seamless deployments that exceed customer expectations.

Our customers will look to you to shape their future strategy, and your input will become a core part of executive decision making.

This function will work directly alongside the CTO and CEO.

What we need:

  • The natural ability to build strong relationships with technical, business and control function stakeholders

  • Confidence in managing complexity with a track record of delivering complex solutions in large organisations

  • Exceptional stakeholder management skills - you know how to navigate complex organisations and align diverse interests

  • The ability to build and maintain detailed implementation roadmaps while managing multiple concurrent projects

  • Value autonomy, moving fast and getting Sh*t done

  • Excited to come into the London office 4 days a week and travel to our clients

What we would like:

  • A technical understanding of payment systems and experience working with acquiring banks

  • 3+ years experience in consulting or a venture backed startup

  • Experience in fintech is a bonus but not a pre-requisite

What we offer:

  • Competitive salary

  • Generous equity linked to your salary

  • You should always have the headspace to perform your best at home and work, so we have an unlimited holiday policy with an expected minimum of 24 days. You’ll also get £350 Airbnb credit to take a break you might not have done otherwise.

  • Pension

  • Creative office space in Spitalfields, London with free breakfast twice a week

We’d love to discuss you joining the team.

We’ve been on the other side of the table: recruiters who waste your time, job offers that don’t materialise, and technical challenges that you don’t even get feedback on.

So here’s the process:

  1. Apply!

  2. Call with one of the hiring team (likely, but not always, a founder)

  3. A 1-hour take home assignment on product implementation

  4. Final interview, ideally in person (Spitalfields, London) and a chance to meet the team.
