About the role

We're hiring a Senior Payments Operations Lead to build and operate Tabs' payments-risk and operations program as we bring payments in-house. You will be our first dedicated PayOps leader, reporting to the VP of Finance and partnering closely with Finance, Product, Engineering, Support, Legal, commercial teams, and our payment partners.

What they're looking for

  • Typically 7+ years of experience in payments operations, merchant risk, fraud, disputes, or an adjacent function, exceptional candidates with 5+ years and clear end-to-end ownership may be considered
  • Meaningful experience at a payment facilitator, processor, acquirer, bank, platform payments business, or B2B fintech
  • Demonstrated ownership of consequential payments-risk or operating outcomes - not only participation in a broader team
  • Fluency in merchant-risk assessment and reserve mechanics, including how reserves are calculated, funded, held, adjusted, offset, reviewed, and released
  • Strong understanding of ACH returns, card disputes and chargebacks, reconciliation, fraud controls, negative balances, and payment-partner operations
  • Experience building or materially improving a payments process, control environment, or operating program
