What you'll do

  • Own third-party operations end to end, acting as the main point of contact for vendors and holding providers to account on onboarding, due diligence, performance, compliance, and issue resolution.
  • Lead operational readiness for new products and material changes, coordinating review, follow-up, and impact assessment to ensure changes land smoothly and are fully supportable.
  • Act as the key operational link between different stakeholder groups ensuring strong coordination across support, incident response, and third-party delivery.
  • Oversee customer support and complaints, ensuring issues are resolved promptly, fairly, and in line with internal standards and other expectations.
  • Own operational risk and SLA monitoring, using clear indicators and reporting to keep senior management and the Board informed and to escalate risks early.
  • Support continuity during incidents and disruption scenarios, managing customer and operational impact while partnering closely with the ORM on the wider incident and resilience framework.
  • Keep operational records accurate and audit-ready, and support internal, external, and other reviews across third-party management and operational controls.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience in operations within payments, fintech, financial services, or a similarly controlled environment.
  • Genuine hands-on delivery experience, not purely oversight from a distance.
  • Strong experience across third-party governance, regulatory compliance, and customer operations.
  • Strong project management, communication, and relationship-building skills.
  • Comfortable owning end-to-end operational processes in a fast-moving, cross-functional environment.
  • High attention to detail, strong judgement, and a high bar for accuracy and accountability.
  • Credibility to operate as a first-line owner with senior leadership, Board, and regulator visibility.

Nice to have

  • Exposure to operational resilience and business continuity is a strong plus.
