What you’ll be doing
As a Core Payments Operations Specialist, you will ensure the smooth flow of interbank and card operations. You'll take ownership of critical payment processing functions, proactively identify and mitigate operational risks, manage reconciliations with relevant banking providers, and collaborate dynamically with internal teams and external partners to enhance our payment systems.

Manage Partner Relationships: Act as a point of contact for key banking and payment partners, ensuring effective communication, issue resolution and coordination of strategic improvements.
Lead E-Money Reconciliation: Oversee the electronic money reconciliation process within designated systems, ensuring data integrity through prompt discrepancy resolution. Analyze the operational impact of projects and changes on e-money flows, effectively translating and communicating these implications to relevant stakeholders.
Identify Strategic Opportunities: Research, evaluate, and propose innovative payment initiatives that offer tangible value, enhance efficiency, or improve the customer experience.
Expect challenges, collaboration, and the freedom to bring your ideas to life. Things change quickly here, so be ready to adapt, take initiative, and shape your role as we grow.
