OperationsOperations Analyst

This is an opportunity to help strengthen payment performance across a large-scale international digital marketplace. You will join a newly established Payment Operations team focused on building end-to-end visibility into the checkout and payment funnel. Working across more than 17 payment service providers, you will identify performance issues, investigate declines, and uncover opportunities to improve authorization rates and conversion. The role combines hands-on payment analysis, root-cause investigation, reporting, and cross-functional collaboration. You will work closely with Product, Engineering, Data Science, and Fraud teams to turn complex findings into actionable improvements. This is a remote, full-time position in a fast-moving international environment where initiative, experimentation, and independent problem-solving are highly valued.

Take ownership of checkout funnel health by identifying emerging issues, surfacing defects, and developing alerts and insights before they become business-critical.
Lead root-cause investigations into payment funnel drop-offs and declining authorization rates, distinguishing technical issues from user behavior patterns.
Analyze authorization rates, decline codes, and performance across multiple payment service providers (PSPs) to identify bottlenecks and prioritize improvements.
Investigate payment performance issues, including processor outages and disruptions across different stages of the checkout journey.
Develop and maintain reporting, dashboards, and alerts that provide reliable visibility into payment funnel performance.
Support regular reporting to cross-functional teams, translating payment data and customer behavior insights into clear recommendations.
Partner with Product, Engineering, Data Science, and Fraud teams to diagnose issues, coordinate investigations, and drive measurable improvements in authorization rates and conversion.
Communicate technical findings and business impact clearly to stakeholders without specialist payments knowledge.
Help establish and improve the team's diagnostic processes, contributing practical solutions and developing into a trusted point of contact for payment funnel health.
