Your Role

• Optimize Fund Security: Maintain and improve risk control mechanisms to safeguard funds while supporting scalable business growth.
• Monitor Channel Performance: Audit daily performance metrics—including success rates, latency, and charge‑back rates—across multiple payment channels to quickly flag and diagnose anomalies.
• Deliver Operational Insights: Prepare regular payment operations reports, analyse abnormal transaction data trends, and help drive optimisation initiatives through execution.
• Map User Journeys: Coordinate with Payments Technology teams to review the end‑to‑end journey (initiation to settlement) and pinpoint friction like failures or settlement delays.
• Support Process Improvements: Work with Product and Engineering teams to provide the data insights needed to design and implement payment flow enhancements.
• Mitigate Fraud & Abuse: Spot and analyse abnormal transaction behaviours—including fraud patterns, system abuse, or cash‑out activities—and assist Risk teams in refining detection rules.

• Basic understanding of multi‑currency transactions, international payment processing, or alternative payment methods (APMs) is a plus.
• Ability to clearly communicate technical findings to cross‑functional teams, including engineering, risk, and product managers.
• Proactive mindset with an eye for detail, capable of spotting a subtle trend shift in large datasets before it becomes a widespread issue.
