ABOUT THE ROLE

You'll own card and ATM operations at Salmon — reconciliation, settlements, chargebacks and disputes, issuing, acquiring — while we connect a new card processor and build out our ATM network.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Run card operations end to end: issuing, acquiring, processor management, and card scheme operations, with Visa connected directly and Mastercard through partners.
Build reconciliation for a new card processor we are connecting in the coming months.
Set up reconciliation for a growing ATM network across three levels — the national payment networks, each individual machine, and the cash-in-transit partner — plus customer accounts.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

Take over live processes without incidents, gaps, or service interruptions — this is the first priority in your first months.
Own card reconciliation and settlements, plus chargeback and dispute handling end to end.
Build and lead a Philippines-based operations team: hiring, onboarding, performance, motivation, retention.
Deliver the reconciliation setup for the new processor and for the ATM network as it scales from its first machines to a national footprint.
Manage processors and card scheme operations, including SLAs and escalations.
Work with Product and Engineering to define operational requirements for new card and ATM flows, and with the regulator on your part of the business in English.

WHAT MAKES YOU A STRONG FIT

5+ years in card operations, including time in international fintech, digital banking, or payment processing
Hands-on experience with card reconciliation, settlements, chargebacks and disputes, issuing, or acquiring at real transaction volume
Management experience where you hired, built, and scaled a team — not only held a senior title inside one
Experience working with non-local or distributed teams, effective in a multicultural setup without a long ramp-up
Fluent English, written and spoken — your team is Philippines-based and part of the regulator communication is in English
Ready to relocate to Manila; the first three months onsite are required for work visa processing
