Job Description

For new payment methods, the Payment Specialist will work with a range of cross-functional teams including engineering, accounting and treasury to lay out testing plans, complete provider certification, set up and troubleshoot settlement reconciliations, analysing and implementing ways to reduce reconciliation breaks. For existing payment methods, whether it's a feature based on commercial request or driven by payment methods, the Payment Specialist will be responsible for gathering the required information and presenting it to the product team with a clear description of the implementation and interpretation of the APM rules and their recommendations.

Payment Specialists will also be responsible for disseminating payments knowledge throughout the organization making sure that merchant facing teams have the required information to be able to answer merchant queries. This will also require them to support internal operations teams in maintaining and troubleshooting a range of operations such as merchant onboarding, settlements and reconciliation.
