What You Will Be Doing
- End-to-End Implementation: Manage the day-to-day onboarding activities for new Issuing clients, ensuring all technical and operational milestones are met.
- External Project Contribution: Act as an operational stakeholder on projects with Card Schemes (Visa/Mastercard) and third-party suppliers (Bureaus, Wallets). You will represent Checkout.com in external workstreams to ensure our technical setup aligns with scheme mandates and partner capabilities.
- Experience: 3+ years of experience in payments, with a focus on project delivery, product delivery, scheme management, technical onboarding, or issuing operations.
- Scheme & Supplier Knowledge: Proven track record of contributing to projects involving card schemes or third party fintech suppliers. You understand the nuances of scheme rules and the requirements for digital wallet integration.
- Delivery Focused: You have a proven track record of managing customer facing projects and know how to navigate internal and external dependencies to meet deadlines.
- Problem Solver: You approach challenges with a qualitative mindset, looking for the most efficient solution rather than the easiest one.
- Communication: Strong interpersonal and written skills; you can explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and external partners clearly.
- High-Volume Execution: Exceptional ability to balance multiple competing priorities simultaneously; you thrive in a fast-paced environment where rapid context-switching is the norm.
- Process Discipline: You understand that success is in the details; you are comfortable owning the administrative "grunt work" required to ensure a project is technically sound and ready for launch.
