Head of Solutions & Implementation — DCM (Africa, remote)

DCM builds infrastructure that connects banks and payment system operators to blockchain-based settlement, without replacing their core systems. Our Payment Messages platform is ISO 20022-native and runs in production in a national interbank payment network; Side-Core connects a bank's core system to the ledger for deposits, stablecoins, and other assets. DCM is the exclusive implementation partner of ADI Foundation — founded by Sirius International Holding, the digital arm of IHC — for tokenized deposit solutions across the Middle East and Africa.

We are looking for the person who turns a client's existing systems into a working solution on our platform — and takes it all the way to production. Most of our upcoming projects are with national and regional payment networks in Africa.

• Lead technical discovery with national switches, payment hubs and banks: interfaces, settlement flows, deployment and security requirements.
• Design the solution: map client interfaces to our platform and choose the integration and deployment approach.
• Run implementation through pilot to go-live: plan, change requests, testing with the operator and participant banks, client acceptance.
• Work with our engineering team on estimates and delivery, and hand live systems over to support.
• Turn each project into a repeatable implementation playbook, so the next one goes faster.

• Hands-on ISO 20022 experience (pacs, camt) with payment switches, RTGS or ACH systems.
• Several bank or operator implementations you have taken to production yourself.
• Solution design experience: integrations, on-premises or private cloud deployment, bank security reviews.
• Comfort leading client and vendor teams and holding a delivery plan.
• Understanding of tokenized deposits or blockchain-based settlement — production experience is a plus, not a requirement.
• Based in Africa, with regular travel to clients across Africa and the Middle East and periodic time with the team in the UAE.

• A senior role at the start of a regional team, reporting to the COO and VP of Product.
• Competitive base salary, performance bonus tied to project milestones.
• Direct work with central-bank-level infrastructure in growing markets.
