Role focused on risk and payment operations in a fintech company.
Обязанности
- As a Risk & Payment Operations Associate, you will help ensure that money moves through Slash safely, accurately, and efficiently.
- You will own the day-to-day investigation and resolution of payment reviews and operational exceptions across payment methods such as ACH, wires, RTP, cards, checks, and emerging global or stablecoin payment rails. This includes reviewing unusual or higher-risk activity, gathering information from customers, responding to inquiries from financial partners, and determining the appropriate path forward in partnership with Slash’s Compliance and Operations teams.
- This is not a purely queue-based operations role. You will be expected to develop strong judgment, recognize patterns across customer and transaction activity, and turn recurring operational problems into better processes, tooling, and controls. You will work closely with Compliance, Customer Success, Product, Engineering, and our external financial partners to protect Slash and its customers without creating unnecessary friction.
- We believe exceptional operations are built through close collaboration.
