Work closely with our integrated payments partner and over time add others.
Own and manage end-to-end payments risk.

What We’re Looking For

Direct, successful, hands-on experience building and scaling a payments business within a vertical SaaS platform.
In-depth experience and knowledge with the following topics:
- Payments pricing, packaging, and incentives to drive payments adoption and usage (and the intersection of these with SaaS platform pricing and packing);
- GTM playbooks for driving payments adoption and usage;
- Technical payments experience, including managing migrations from legacy processors.
- Increasing ownership over time of economics (and risk) of payments processing;
- Payments risk management, including ACH returns, chargebacks, fraud exposure, and vendor-related liabilities.
- Levers for driving customers towards more profitable payment types;
- Payfac vendor negotiation, integration and product partnership, and monitoring of statements and economics.
- Understanding of processing economics, risk management, and driving usage of more profitable payment types.
- Skill in payfac vendor negotiations, financial reviews, and monitoring statements.
- Bonus points for experience working with payment capabilities beyond merchant acceptance, including but not limited to card issuing, disbursements, and other embedded fintech capabilities.

Who You Are

Embody our company values of Own, Win, Do Good, and Embrace Curiosity and Candor.
Proven ability to thrive in a matrix environment, influencing cross-functional teams without direct authority.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills; able to align stakeholders across Product, Sales, CS, Finance, and Support.
Eager to deeply understand our platform and our accounting firm customers' payment needs and behaviors.
Reliance on and comfort with metrics to inform decisions and drive performance, with a strong quantitative orientation to build and track success.
