Job description

Get started on an exciting career at Element! Element employees make a difference in the lives of others every day. We are re-defining the fleet management industry to be people first, then business – delivering on our promise of a superior client experience. This takes hard work and innovation, and we need more like-minded people on our team.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Element Pay is Element Mobility's fleet payments business and a significant growth opportunity. Fleets move substantial spend through fuel, tolls, violations, maintenance and service payments, creating an opportunity to modernise how those transactions are initiated, managed and reconciled. With vehicle-initiated payments technology in the portfolio, Element Pay brings payments capabilities together with Element's client relationships, distribution and fleet-management ecosystem. The opportunity is to scale the platform across the client base and expand into adjacent fleet payment and connected-vehicle use cases. As VP Payments, you will lead the strategy, growth and end-to-end performance of Element Pay. This is a general-management role with P&L accountability and leadership across product, engineering, commercial, operations and go-to-market disciplines. You will shape where Element builds, buys or partners; set the product and commercial roadmap; develop the partnership ecosystem; and build the operating discipline and leadership capability required to scale the business sustainably.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

Own the Element Pay P&L end to end, including revenue, unit economics, cost structure, investment decisions, profitability and growth priorities. Set the business and product strategy and roadmap, deciding where to build, buy or partner and which capabilities will create differentiated client and business value. Scale vehicle-initiated payments across Element's client base and expand the platform into relevant fleet payment and connected-vehicle use cases. Lead product and engineering priorities from concept through launch and continuous improvement, ensuring solutions are scalable, reliable and commercially viable. Build and manage strategic partnerships across merchant and fuel networks, issuers, processors, OEMs and technology providers, including pricing and partnership structures. Lead and develop the cross-functional Element Pay organisation, maintain clear accountability and operating rhythms, and represent the business with senior leadership and key stakeholders.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

Element Pay has a clear strategy and roadmap that aligns product, technology, commercial and investment priorities. Business performance is managed with disciplined attention to P&L, unit economics, profitability, growth and corrective action. The payments platform scales reliably across Element's client base and expands into commercially viable adjacent use cases. Strategic partnerships and go-to-market choices strengthen platform reach, adoption and economics. The Element Pay organisation has strong leadership, clear accountability and senior-stakeholder alignment.
