• Collaborate with Finance, Product, and Operations teams to streamline processes and improve accuracy.
• Troubleshoot and resolve payment issues, disputes, and operational bottlenecks.
• Provide internal training, documentation, and ongoing support for Stripe usage.

• Familiarity with finance/accounting systems (NetSuite, QuickBooks) and data tools (SQL).
• Exposure to compliance standards (PCI, GDPR, KYC).

Soft Skills

• Strong communication skills to collaborate with both technical and business teams.
