- Monitor and improve payment performance metrics (approval rates, chargeback ratios, settlement timeliness) to enhance merchant trust and retention.
- Partner with Product, Engineering and Analytics to automate operational workflows, reduce manual intervention, and embed ops requirements into product design.

✅ What we’re looking for
- 5–10 years of experience in payments, fintech, SaaS, or payment operations roles.
- Direct experience with platform payments or marketplace models (Stripe, Adyen, or similar).
- Strong understanding of payment performance levers (fraud, chargebacks, approval optimization, settlement) and regulatory frameworks (KYC/KYB, AML, PCI, card network rules).
- Hands-on experience in operational risk management, including onboarding risk, transaction monitoring, and chargeback processes.
- Proven ability to design scalable processes, implement controls, and own operational metrics.
- Excellent problem-solving and data analysis skills; comfortable using tools/SQL to dive into payments data.
- Demonstrated cross-functional collaboration skills with Product, Engineering, Support, and Finance.
- 2+ years of experience leading or mentoring a team, with readiness and excitement to roll up sleeves as an individual contributor in the short term.
- Entrepreneurial mindset: thrives in ambiguity, adapts quickly, and takes ownership to drive outcomes.
