Senior Reconciliations and Payments Analyst (Fixed Term Cover)

Join our Reconciliation team as a Senior Reconciliations and Payments Analyst on a fixed-term basis to cover a period of maternity leave. In this hands-on, high-impact role, you will monitor reconciliation breaks, investigate discrepancies, and work closely with engineering and banking partners. You will also have the opportunity to get involved in automation projects and contribute to the overall success of the team. This is a fully remote position that values flexibility and autonomy.

• Own daily reconciliation monitoring, checking that cash held in the bank matches client balances in our systems, and flagging and investigating any breaks or mismatches as they arise.
• Resolve reconciliation breaks end-to-end, determining whether an issue is internal or external and driving it to resolution.
• Contribute to automation by gradually helping automate manual reconciliation processes using AI and other tools, reducing reliance on spreadsheets over time.

• If you enjoy solving problems that sit right at the intersection of data and payments, you'll fit right in here
• It's a fast-moving environment where priorities can shift daily, so we're looking for someone who thrives on structure one day and adapts the next
• You have hands-on experience in reconciliation, payment operations, or treasury operations (e.g. as a reconciliation specialist, payment analyst, or accountant with reconciliation exposure)
• You're able to start immediately or on very short notice
• You're diligent and detail-oriented, especially when it comes to handling money movements
• You're used to fast-paced, frequently changing environments and can adapt when processes shift — this isn't a role with a fixed rulebook
• You're open to a fixed-term contract (~5 months, with a real possibility of extension depending on business needs)
• You're comfortable with Excel and have some experience with data visualization/BI tools (Databricks, Metabase, Tableau, Power BI, or similar)
• You have strong stakeholder management skills and are confident communicating with both internal teams and external partners (e.g. banks)
• You have a working understanding of payment schemes and how money moves between banks and internal systems — you know who to go to when something doesn't add up
• Experience working at a neobank or fintech (e.g. N26 or similar) — you'll likely need less ramp-up time in a high-change environment
• A mathematical or quantitative background
• Prior experience helping build or improve automations within a reconciliation or payments workflow
• Basic SQL or data analysis skills
