My client in Whiteley is looking for a Payments Manager.|Excellent salary & benefits (inc. hybrid/bonus) to the successful candidate.

The right candidate will ideally have worked in a managerial role within a Payments environment.

However if someone of the right calibre from a Payments background, looking to make the next step, would equally be considered.

Also if the payments side had been part of a wider remit, again, that would be considered for the right candidate.

My client is a specialist financial services organisation, with this particular role based at their Whiteley site (hybrid). they have 7 other offices across Europe, the US and Asia.

An excellent salary and benefits package, including a very healthy bonus. The business also prides itself on it\'s development and progression of their staff.
