About The Role

What You'll Do

Daily Operations & Monitoring

  • -
  • Monitor approval rates, decline reasons, and processing anomalies across all active PSPs using operational dashboards.
  • -
  • Flag deviations from baseline early and escalate with clear, source-backed evidence.
  • -
  • Track PSP uptime, incidents, and processor-side issues, and keep an operational log.

PSP Escalations

-

Serve as the point of contact for PSP support channels (email, Slack, ticketing portals) on operational issues: failed transactions, missing settlements, KYC/AML holds, refunds, and chargebacks.

-

Draft clear, professional communications to PSPs in English, including the specific transaction IDs, timestamps, and amounts needed to resolve issues quickly.

-

Follow escalations through to closure and document root cause.

Data Analysis & Reconciliation Support

-

Run and modify SQL queries to validate PSP volumes, settlements, fees, and approval metrics.

-

Support weekly and monthly PSP reconciliations by comparing processor reports, Databricks/Tableau data, bank settlements, and Finance records, respecting date basis, status semantics, and coverage boundaries.

-

Maintain and improve Google Sheets dashboards (advanced formulas, pivots, Apps Script where helpful).

-

Never sum, match, or close a reconciliation from memory or estimation; every figure must be measured from source.

Documentation & Process

  • -
  • Update SOPs, runbooks, and PSP profiles as processes evolve.
  • -
  • Contribute to the reconciliation automation program by documenting current manual steps and edge cases so they can be codified in Databricks/Tableau/Corefy.

Reporting

  • -
  • Prepare weekly operational summaries covering approval rates, volumes, incidents, and open escalations.
  • -
  • Support ad-hoc analyses requested by the Payments Ops Manager or Finance.

Must-Have Qualifications

  • -
  • 5+ years in payments operations, PSP reconciliation, or fintech data analysis.
  • -
  • SQL proficiency, able to write, read, and debug queries independently; Databricks experience preferred.
  • -
  • Advanced Google Sheets skills, including complex formulas (INDEX/MATCH, QUERY, ARRAYFORMULA), pivot tables, and structured workbook design; Apps Script is a plus.
  • -
  • Direct PSP experience with settlements, chargebacks, refunds, decline codes, MID/gateway concepts, and reconciliation between processor and bank.
  • -
  • Fluent English, written and spoken, for daily PSP correspondence and internal communication.
  • -
  • Auditable working style: cites sources, distinguishes payment date vs. settlement date, and flags coverage gaps instead of guessing.
  • -
  • Reliable async communicator across Slack, email, and ticketing systems, comfortable working across time zones.

Nice to Have

  • -
  • Spanish (working with a bilingual team).
  • -
  • Experience with any of: Worldpay, PayNearMe, MuchBetter, Rapyd, MassPay, crypto, Corefy.

  • -
  • Experience with iGaming, poker, or high-volume consumer payments.
  • -
