The Talent Powering Cross-Border Payments: Inside Global Payment Infrastructure Companies

Cross-border payments are no longer a niche capability, they are core infrastructure for the global economy. As transaction volumes continue to grow across B2B, B2C, and consumer remittances, this report looks at the people and organizational models behind the companies moving money across borders.

Focusing on leading cross-border payment providers such as Airwallex, Wise, Payoneer, Nium, PPRO, TerraPay, and Remitly, the analysis compares engineering-led, sales-led, and product-led organizations. It shows how workforce structure mirrors business strategy: backend-heavy firms invest deeply in scalable APIs and compliance, while sales-driven models prioritize enterprise relationships, partnerships, and market expansion.

The report also examines current hiring patterns, highlighting which players are in hyper-expansion mode, which are hiring selectively, and how teams are balancing engineering, product, and go-to-market functions as they scale globally. For fintech leaders, payments professionals, and investors, this report offers a clear view of how talent strategy underpins success in one of fintech’s most competitive segments.
