  • Monitor and improve payment performance metrics (approval rates, chargeback ratios, settlement timeliness) to enhance merchant trust and retention.
  • Partner with Product, Engineering and Analytics to automate operational workflows, reduce manual intervention, and embed ops requirements into product design.
  • Ensure regulatory compliance and risk management as Owner.com evolves its payments infrastructure and prepares for new markets and payments channels.

  • Direct experience with platform payments or marketplace models (Stripe, Adyen, or similar).
  • Strong understanding of payment performance levers (fraud, chargebacks, approval optimization, settlement) and regulatory frameworks (KYC/KYB, AML, PCI, card network rules).
  • Hands-on experience in operational risk management, including onboarding risk, transaction monitoring, and chargeback processes.
  • Proven ability to design scalable processes, implement controls, and own operational metrics.
  • Excellent problem-solving and data analysis skills; comfortable using tools/SQL to dive into payments data.
  • Demonstrated cross-functional collaboration skills with Product, Engineering, Support, and Finance.
  • 2+ years of experience leading or mentoring a team, with readiness and excitement to roll up sleeves as an individual contributor in the short term.
