With 20 offices across six continents and London as our HQ, we’re shaping the future of fintech – and we’re just getting started.

Checkout.com is looking for a strategic, resourceful, and highly-driven Process Architecture Manager to lead the charge on operational excellence within our Finance function. You will not only design processes, which is a key part of this role, but also help define the framework for how we scale FinOps globally.

You will act as a partner to Finance leadership, identifying macro-level inefficiencies and driving a culture of continuous improvement.

How you’ll make an impact

• Partner with senior Finance leaders (AP, Treasury, Tax, Accounting) to identify critical operational bottlenecks and prioritize initiatives that deliver the highest ROI.
• Establish standards, methodologies, and toolkits (e.g., BPMN standards, documentation templates) to ensure consistency and quality across all process improvement projects.
• Own the end-to-end architecture of complex, cross-functional workflows, ensuring our financial operations scale seamlessly.
• Define and oversee the reporting of key operational KPIs; identify systemic performance gaps and hold the business accountable for agreed-upon improvements.
• Lead the change management aspect of process re-engineering, ensuring that new workflows are adopted smoothly by global teams.

What we’re looking for

• 5+ years of experience in Process Excellence, Business Transformation, or Operations, with at least 2 years in a management or lead capacity.
• Strong understanding of core Finance cycles (e.g., Procure-to-Pay, Record-to-Report, Order-to-Cash) and the control environments required in a regulated fintech.
• Expertise in process mapping tools (Visio, Lucidchart, FigJam) and methodologies (Lean Six Sigma Black/Green Belt preferred).
• Proven ability to look at the "big picture" and design an operating model that supports hyper-growth.
• A deep understanding of how to use AI and automation tools to streamline process efficiency and quality.
• Exceptional presentation skills, capable of translating complex data into clear strategic recommendations for executive stakeholders.
• Experience working in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment where you have successfully built structures from scratch.
