  • Standardize operating procedures, reporting, KPIs, and escalation frameworks across regions.
  • Establish clear governance and decision-making frameworks across payment operations, finance, compliance, and product.

Payment Operations Excellence

  • Own end-to-end payment lifecycle performance: funding (AR), disbursement (AP), settlement, reconciliation, chargebacks, returns, and exceptions.
  • Improve transaction success rates and reduce friction in buyer and seller funding flows.
  • Implement operational controls that scale with volume growth while maintaining regulatory integrity.
  • Develop global SLAs and real-time performance dashboards.

Banking & Payment Partner Management

  • Own strategic relationships with acquiring banks, payout providers, card networks, and alternative payment method providers.
  • Negotiate commercial terms to optimize processing costs and margins.
  • Diversify and strengthen redundancy across global payment corridors.
  • Evaluate and onboard new payment methods to increase geographic coverage and conversion.

Regulatory & Compliance Alignment

  • Partner with Compliance and Legal teams to ensure adherence to global regulatory frameworks (e.g., AML, KYC, traceability, money transmission regulations).
  • Oversee payment scheme compliance, operational audits, and partner reporting requirements.
  • Ensure controls and processes meet regulatory standards in all active jurisdictions.

Risk, Fraud & Chargeback Optimization

  • Collaborate with Risk to reduce fraud losses and manage dispute ratios.
  • Design policies that balance transaction approval rates with risk thresholds.
  • Oversee chargeback representation strategy and operational processes.

Payment Product Enablement

  • Partner with Product and Engineering to build scalable payment infrastructure.
  • Provide commercial and operational input into new payment features, cross-border expansion, and marketplace integrations.
  • Drive innovation in funding methods, payout speed, and cross-currency settlement.

Requirements:

  • 7+ years of experience in payments, fintech, banking, or regulated financial services.
  • Minimum 1 year of Accounting exposure
  • Proven experience building and managing full cycle AP/AR workflows (and with strong practical ledger understanding, Dr./Cr.)  involving complex multi-party settlement and milestones. 
  • Proven experience managing and supervising payments operations team(s)
  • Proven experience managing "Client Money" or similar regulated fund-holding environments.
  • Proven ability to manage the risk profiles of high-ticket transactions (e.g., real estate, M&A, or high-value marketplaces).
  • Strong executive presence with the ability to influence across customer success, product, finance, and compliance.

Preferred:

  • Experience in Escrow, Marketplace or trust-based financial products
  • Experience operating in multi-currency, high-value transaction environments.

Benefits and Perks:

Career & Culture

  • Meritocratic Growth: We operate a true meritocracy. Here, ownership is encouraged, and high performance is the fastest track to career progression.
  • Direct Access: Stay connected at our Weekly Town Halls, featuring an open-mic Q&A session with the CEO - no question is off-limits.
