Payment Performance Professional

Finance
4+ years of experience
Limassol

You’ll be joining a data-driven team responsible for optimizing card payment performance and delivering a seamless checkout experience for Visa and Mastercard users across multiple regions. This role involves close collaboration with payment processors and internal teams to investigate unusual declines, resolve payment issues, and drive continuous improvements in payment performance.

Responsibilities

  • Act as the analytical point of contact for resolving payment conversion issues and anomalies in card transactions (Visa, Mastercard);
  • Drive and support card flow optimization initiatives — including testing and rollout of improvements such as 3DS routing strategies (e.g., frictionless vs challenge), low-value payment flows, fallbacks, retry logic, and BIN-specific configurations;
  • Investigate unusual decline codes, authorization errors, and behavioral patterns that impact conversion or user experience;
  • Liaise with card payment processors, acquiring banks, and internal teams to diagnose root causes and coordinate fixes;
  • Maintain structured documentation of known issues, processor-specific behaviors, and solutions applied;
  • Support cross-functional teams (analytics, tech, product, operations) in understanding and prioritizing issues;
  • Monitor recurring incidents and contribute to the continuous improvement of payment routing and error-handling logic;
  • Participate in regular syncs with processors and banks to follow up on previously raised issues and track progress;
  • Contribute to internal knowledge base and help systematize payment incident response processes.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of experience in payments, fintech, e-commerce, or banking (preferably in operational or analytical roles);
  • Deep understanding of card payments: authorization flows, decline codes, routing logic, chargebacks, etc.;
  • Hands-on experience in communicating with PSPs, acquiring banks, or international card schemes is essential;
  • Excellent cross-team communication and coordination skills;
  • Ability to structure problems and drive them to resolution in a fast-paced environment;
  • Familiarity with internal ticketing or incident management systems (e.g., JIRA);
  • Basic analytical mindset — ability to interpret data and collaborate with analysts effectively (knowledge of SQL is a plus);
  • Fluent English (written and spoken) is required.
