Step into a high-impact leadership role at the forefront of global payments and crypto innovation. As our Global Payments Senior Operations Manager, you will own the end-to-end FIAT payments operations across Europe and beyond.
 
You’ll lead a growing team (initially 2–3 direct reports), setting strategy and driving operational excellence while ensuring accuracy, compliance, and scalability in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. This is a unique opportunity to blend people management, technical expertise, and regulatory knowledge to shape the future of payments in the digital asset space.

What You’ll Be Doing 

  • Team Leadership & Strategy
    • Lead and mentor a team of payments professionals, setting clear direction, coaching for performance, and scaling the team as operations expand.
    • Define KPIs and operational controls to ensure accuracy, timeliness, and compliance across all FIAT payment flows.
  • Payments Operations Management
    • Oversee customer FIAT deposits and withdrawals, ensuring seamless movement of funds between exchange systems and bank accounts.
    • Reconcile daily FIAT balances, investigate variances, and produce detailed monthly reporting with discrepancy analysis.
    • Design and implement controls to ensure payments are accurate and complete, preventing errors or delays.
  • Compliance & Regulatory Oversight
    • Ensure adherence to EU regulatory frameworks (MFSA) across all payment operations.
    • Work closely with compliance, risk, and legal teams to anticipate regulatory changes and stay compliant.
  • Process Optimization & Innovation
    • Champion automation and process improvements to increase efficiency and reduce manual intervention.
    • Test and support new product offerings, payment methods, and system enhancements.

What We Look For In You

  • Leadership & Drive
    • At least 6+ years of experience in FIAT payment operations within crypto, fintech, banking, or payment services.
    • 2+ years of people management experience, with a proven ability to lead, motivate, and grow a team.
    • Strong determination and ownership mindset, with the ability to set direction and inspire others to achieve ambitious goals.
  • Technical Expertise – This is Key
    • Deep, hands-on knowledge of EU payment systems, specifically SEPA, iDeal, and Bancontact, including settlement processes, reconciliation, and troubleshooting.
    • Proficiency in financial reconciliation, variance analysis, and the ability to diagnose and resolve anomalies in monthly reports.
    • Familiarity with AML/KYC and MFSA regulations will be advantageous.
  • Analytical & Operational Excellence
    • Strong attention to detail with the ability to work with large datasets and translate findings into actionable insights.
    • Excellent problem-solving skills with the ability to thrive under pressure in a fast-moving, 24/7 environment.
