• Highly detail-oriented with strong operational judgement in high-trust environments.
• Comfortable working across multiple systems and reconciling disparate data sources.
• Strong analytical ability - able to investigate issues, form hypotheses, and validate with data.
• Clear communicator with the ability to coordinate cross-functionally and escalate effectively.
• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment with high accountability.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with maker-checker controls, audit evidence standards, or regulated operations.
• Working knowledge of SQL, Looker, BigQuery, or similar tooling.
• Understanding of payment rails (ACH, card processing, payout systems) and provider integrations.

Responsibilities

• Support day-to-day stablecoin mint and burn workflows, executed under strict operational controls.
• Perform daily mandatory reconciliations across stablecoin issuance products, including end-of-day reconciliation aligned to US banking hours.
• Execute processes under a four-eyes (maker-checker) framework, ensuring segregation of duties and audit-ready evidence.
• Maintain clear, timestamped operational records and support immutable log requirements for audit and regulatory review.
• Coordinate closely with Stablecoin Product, Treasury, Finance, and internal security stakeholders to ensure safe and compliant issuance operations.
• Investigate and resolve discrepancies across bank accounts, provider balances, internal ledgers, and transaction records.
• Monitor partner and bank SLAs and escalate deviations to protect payment continuity
• Own operational execution for high-impact issues, ensuring clean resolution and clear documentation.
• Contribute to SOPs, controls, and process governance to strengthen IPO readiness.
• Monitor key payment health metrics and identify anomalies impacting conversion and revenue capture.
• Perform deep dives into payment failures (issuer declines, processor issues, customer friction) and support remediation plans.
• Support routing optimisation initiatives, working with Product and Engineering to reduce repeat failures.
• Translate operational signals into actionable insights to improve performance and reduce operational waste.
• Build and maintain dashboards and visualisations to track KPIs and surface actionable insights.
• Use AI, SQL and analytics tools to automate recurring reporting and reconciliation workflows.
