Manager, Financial Processes

About the team

We're responsible for delivering a merchant experience that's both compliant and seamless — one that keeps merchants satisfied and engaged, while finding smarter, more efficient ways to serve them at lower cost.

About the role

The role of the S&O team is to define how we operate on a day-to-day basis with our merchant partners such that we are easy to do business with and deliver a market-leading partner experience at an acceptable cost. As the Financial Processes Manager, you will lead medium/large sized initiatives: identifying opportunities to improve partner experience or reduce costs, and drive execution across markets. You will iterate to optimise relevant end-to-end processes and work with functions across the Merchant Org. to ensure individual steps are being followed, and lead the “go-to-market” with internal and external stakeholders for all changes and improvements that you make to improve the processes.

What you'll be doing

• Own end-to-end payment process design — map, document, and continuously improve all Payment-related processes (including COO and COBD), defining clear success metrics to ensure they run efficiently and deliver a positive partner experience.

• Shape partner-facing policy — partner with Commercial, Legal, Policy, and Care teams to define and maintain transparent partner policies, leading non-regulatory policy design and providing the partner perspective on regulatory matters.

• Drive performance and continuous improvement — monitor key metrics across partner-facing processes, identify improvement opportunities through data analysis, and build roadmaps with clear business cases for change.

• Lead go-to-market for change initiatives — project manage the rollout of policy and process changes, working cross-functionally on communications and training, leading frontline change management, and reviewing post-launch performance to course-correct as needed.

  Requirements

• Project & change management experience — a proven ability to manage multiple stakeholders across Commercial and other functions simultaneously, with a practical toolkit for guiding individuals and teams through change

• Strong process design skills — comfortable mapping end-to-end processes, spotting inefficiencies, and building compelling cases for change

• Sharp problem-solving and strategic thinking — able to cut through surface-level observations to identify root causes, prioritise effectively, and generate thoughtful, well-reasoned recommendations

• Solid business acumen — a clear understanding of the business model and customers, with the judgement to make sound trade-offs within projects

• Excellent communication and stakeholder influence — proactive, clear, and collaborative, with the ability to document and present ideas confidently to varied audiences

• A natural collaborator — a team player who works effectively across functions and can navigate or resolve misalignment between teams

• Financial payments experience (preferred) : Experience in fraud prevention, risk operations, financial compliance, ideally involving identity/business verification and changes to sensitive account details. Strong understanding of fraud indicators and controls, with the judgement to balance robust verification against a smooth merchant experience.
