About the Role and Team

The Operations team sits at the heart of Zepz, working behind the scenes to ensure our customers' hard-earned money arrives seamlessly and quickly to their loved ones. We focus on identifying and solving key customer pain points to elevate the end-to-end user experience. Supporting our Customer Service team, we collaborate closely with external partners, manage escalations, and handle complex operational tasks to resolve issues before they impact our customers.

We are expanding our Payment Operations team in Cebu and seeking proactive, detail-oriented team players who communicate openly and thrive on solving complex challenges. As an Operations Executive, you will embody our core values—aiming high, embracing challenges, and acting with integrity—while contributing to our team's operational execution and long-term success.

What You Will Focus On

Reporting to the Team Manager for Payment Operations, you will oversee transaction escalations, monitor partner payout performance, and resolve operational issues. Key responsibilities include:

• Investigating root causes of complex transaction and payout issues.
• Communicating clearly across internal teams (Customer Service, Partner Managers, Funding, Engineering) and external payout partners.
• Identifying operational trends to proactively address systemic issues before they impact users.
• Continuously optimizing operational processes and workflows for scale and efficiency.

What You Bring to the Table

• College degree or equivalent practical experience (Finance or Business-related fields preferred).
• Strong ownership mindset with a proactive, results-oriented approach to problem-solving.
• Analytical mindset with the ability to leverage data to communicate effectively and solve problems systematically.
• Excellent organizational skills with a strong track record of managing deadlines and deliverables under pressure.
• Proficiency with Google Workspace and intermediate Excel / MS Office skills.
• Fluent written and spoken English communication skills.
• Flexibility to work in rotating shifts as needed.

Nice to Have / Bonus Points

• Prior experience in cross-border payments, remittance, or fintech operations.
• Familiarity with SQL or advanced data analysis tools.

AI Literacy & Tools

As Zepz continues to build AI into how we work, we expect everyone to engage with it as a core part of their role. For this position we are looking for:

• A genuine curiosity about AI and how it can be applied in your area of work — from accelerating analysis and insight generation, to improving how we design and deliver processes and communications.
• Practical experience using AI tools in a professional context — whether to connect information, draft content, build frameworks, or create insights from data. We want people who actively use AI to increase productivity, not those who are waiting to be told to.
• Strong AI literacy — an understanding of what AI assistants can and cannot do, how to prompt effectively, and how to critically evaluate AI-generated output before using it.
• Awareness of the ethical considerations and responsible use of AI in the workplace, particularly in the context of sensitive data, customer experience, and compliance.
• Prior experience using Claude (Anthropic) is a nice-to-have but not essential — what matters most is that you are genuinely engaged with AI as a tool, comfortable experimenting, and eager to share what works with your wider team

Additional Perks of Joining Our Team

• Competitive compensation package
• Health Insurance on day one (2 free dependents)
• Vacation Leave (5 days convertible to cash)
• 5 days of sick leave (convertible to cash)
• Recharge days, 4 per year, 1 day each quarter to use to relax, refresh and recharge
• Free food and hot drinks when onsite
