We are looking for a highly analytical and driven Payment Optimization Specialist to join our Payment Operations team. In this role, you will analyze and improve payment processing performance across our internal and external systems.

• Drive Execution: Translate complex analysis into clear, actionable initiatives. Lead these issues from initial discovery through to resolution by collaborating effectively with diverse stakeholders (Engineering, Product, Finance, etc.).
• Monitor Performance: Track key payment KPIs (e.g., approval rates, routing efficiencies, cost per transaction) and measure the ongoing impact of system changes.
• Report & Recommend: Produce high-level reports, dashboards, and strategic recommendations for management based on continuous analysis.
• Maintain Visibility: Build and maintain structured monitoring workflows to ensure continuous, real-time visibility into global payment performance.

Requirements

• Experience: 3+ years of professional experience in the global payments ecosystem, with strong hands-on involvement in payment systems, acquiring, and transactional payment flows.
• Industry Knowledge: A deep understanding of payment processing logic, routing, and end-to-end payment lifecycles.
• Platform Expertise: Proven hands-on experience working with complex billing platforms and payment gateways.
• Execution Skills: Strong project management abilities with a track record of leading complex issues from root-cause discovery to final resolution across multiple teams.
• Data Fluency: Exceptional analytical skills with experience extracting insights from raw data, building reports, and utilizing BI systems (such as Looker, Blink, and emerging AI data tools).
• Technical Tools: High proficiency in Excel, with a strong comfort level in managing, manipulating, and analyzing large datasets.
