Operations and Automation Analyst

Description We’re hiring an Operations and Automation Analyst to work alongside our existing ops team and expand our capacity to handle the full range of operational functions that keep our payments platform running smoothly and safely. This role is a direct counterpart to our current Operations team members. Together, you’ll own the day-to-day execution of payment operations, risk management, and loss recovery with the goal of building a tight, redundant team that can scale with the business. The right person for this role isn’t just precise and reliable, they’re genuinely excited about automation and AI, and they see their long‑term value as managing intelligent systems and handling the escalations those systems can’t resolve.
