Payments Operations Specialist
New Yesterday
Overview
I'm excited to announce that I am working exclusively with a business who is looking for a Payments Operations Specialist to join their fast growing fintech client, reporting into their Head of Operations. You’ll be the go-to person for all things payment operations — from resolving payment failures to improving processes and supporting product launches.
This is a diverse, hands-on role where you’ll be cross-trained across the business and have direct exposure to compliance, customer experience, and product teams. You’ll also play a key part in shaping how we scale our payments function — with the opportunity to own the area and hire into it next year.
What You’ll Do
- Own the resolution of payment issues (e.g. failed transactions, card escalations, international payments)
- Monitor transaction flows and identify root causes of errors
- Collaborate with Product & Engineering to improve payment processes
- Support the launch of new payment solutions
- Liaise with customers and partners to ensure smooth onboarding and support
- Work closely with Compliance (KYC, onboarding, sanctions) and Customer Experience teams
- Contribute to quarterly OKRs and continuous improvement initiatives
What We’re Looking For
- 2+ years in a fintech, banking, or payments operations role
- Experience with card payments, international payments, or open banking
- Strong analytical mindset — able to spot trends and feed insights back to product
- Comfortable working in a task-oriented, fast-paced environment
- Excellent communication skills — you’ll be working with SMEs and internal teams
- Growth mindset — eager to learn, adapt, and take ownership
- Bonus: experience with tools like Xero, HubSpot, Veriff, Creditsafe
- Someone who’s worked at escalation level in a support or payments team
- Excited by the idea of joining a small, collaborative team and growing with the business
- Comfortable wearing multiple hats and jumping in where needed
- Process-driven and always looking for ways to improve how things are done
- Personable, proactive, and not afraid to engage — culture fit is key!
What We Offer
- Equity options + quarterly bonus
- Hybrid working: 1 day/week in office
- Opportunity to shape and lead the payments function
- A collaborative, mission-driven team with a strong growth trajectory
Apply now or message us directly — we’re moving quickly and would love to hear from you!
