Job Description

Who you are

  • Minimum of 5+ years of experience in technical program management, product operations, payments, fintech, risk, compliance, or similarly cross-functional roles

  • Solid understanding of payments infrastructure, scheme rules, merchant flows, or alternative payment methods
  • Demonstrated ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives with competing priorities and dependencies
  • Excellent organizational skills, with a structured approach to planning, execution, risk management, and follow-through
  • Experience supporting launches or changes that involve compliance, product, legal, or partner considerations is a plus
  • Exposure to merchant onboarding, payment methods, scheme rules, or financial partner programs is a plus

  • Lead cross-functional growth programs from initial problem definition through technical launch, governance, and post-launch optimization
  • Partner with Product and Engineering to translate complex scheme/network rules into clear technical requirements, controls, and automated workflows
  • Collaborate with Commercial, Legal, Risk, and regional teams to clear dependencies, resolve risks, and align on launch readiness
  • Design pragmatic decision frameworks and playbooks for high-growth merchant use cases that fall outside standard network mandates
  • Maintain program roadmaps, decision logs, and operational metrics while escalating blockers with actionable recommendations

The application process

  • We aim to get back to you regarding your application within 5 business days
