Job description

SENIOR MANAGER, PAYMENT TECHNOLOGY (MOTORING DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION)

Join a team of changemakers on a mission to redesign the motoring experience - creating a future where transactions happen effortlessly, touchpoints are thoughtfully designed, and where every interaction in a delight. You will be part of a team to reinvent the One Motoring platform, building new capabilities to enable real-time billing, personalised dashboards, and intuitive user flows. As our Senior Manager, Payment Technology, you're not just processing transactions - you're the engineer of trust behind every payment a motorist makes. You will build the payment backbone that moves money reliably for every journey on our roads.

What You’ll Do

• Shape the Payment Backbone: Drive the technical direction for how payments are captured, authorised, cleared, and settled. Bring fragmented payment flows onto a unified, dependable foundation that motorists and commuters can trust.
• Technical Solutioning: Define how systems connect and talk to one another. Design interfacing and system flow specifications, debate the merits and trade-offs of every integration decision to create robust, scalable designs.
• Bridge Rails & Partners: Collaborate closely with payment agents and processors to integrate cleanly payment rails, negotiating rates, and ensuring broad acceptance of popular digital payment methods.
• Settlement & Reconciliation: Design flows to settle and reconcile accurately across providers, acquirers, and banks - ensuring all transactions are duly accounted for.
• Ensure Security, Compliance, Reliability: Audit payment-grade controls into every design, adhering to standards like PCI DSS, MAS TRM, IM8, and OWASP ASVS.
• Champion Cross-Team Alignment: Act as a conduit between vendors, engineers, and leadership to ensure payment technology work is driven towards delighting users.

What we are looking for

You have 8+ years of hands-on experience in digital payments, having built or operated payment systems. You deeply understand authorisation, clearing, settlement, and in-house finance reconciliation. You have strong technical chops in system architecture and solutioning. You can design a system from scratch, draw system sequence diagrams, finesse interface control documents, and meaningfully explain and debate technical choices. You know your way around schemes, providers, and interchanges, with an in-depth understanding of how acquirers, processors, and banks fit together to move money. You're adept at navigating through complexity, making sound technical decisions with limited data to steer complex, chaotic integration work across large scale systems. You possess exceptional stakeholder management skills and can effortlessly bridge between tech jargon and business goals, building mutual trust across every level. Prior work experience in government or highly regulated environments is a significant advantage. As part of the shortlisting process for the role, you may be required to complete a medical declaration and / or undergo further assessment.
