Job Description

The Opportunity

Are you a finance leader with a passion for payments and people development? We are looking for a Team Lead for Payments Operations to join our Manchester-based team. In this pivotal role, you will align our finance strategy with broader business objectives, driving key initiatives within one of the world's most dynamic e-commerce environments.

You won't just manage a team; you will inspire a group of Analysts and Accountants to embrace change, scale efficiency through better tooling, and deliver the insights needed to steer global business decisions.

Key Responsibilities

Leadership & Coaching: Manage and inspire a team of Payments Process Analysts and Accountants, translating departmental goals into actionable personal objectives and OKRs.

Operational Excellence: Ensure all KPIs and SLAs are met accurately and timely. Serve as the final word on prioritising workloads and balancing team capacity.

Reporting & Compliance: Establish a robust reporting framework to support decision-making and process improvements. You will be responsible for reviewing business and SOx controls on a monthly basis.

Strategic Partnership: Act as a business advisor to stakeholders across Treasury, Credit Control, and Corporate Accounting. Work closely with Product communities to understand how new features impact payment operations.

Continuous Improvement: Identify process bottlenecks and work with Financial Systems and IT to implement data-driven enhancements and new data models.

Performance Management: Track performance levels, conduct formal reviews, and proactively manage the growth and development of your team members.

Who You Are

We are looking for a "player-coach"-someone who is a motivational people manager but is equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves to solve complex operational challenges.

Requirements:

Experience: 3-5 years of broad job knowledge in Finance or Payments Operations, with progressively increasing levels of responsibility.

Leadership: Proven experience managing people and building high-performing, people-centered teams.

Education: Bachelor's degree required; a Master's degree is preferred.

Analytical Mindset: You possess a curious, tenacious approach to data, with the ability to analyse trends and variances to produce meaningful management dashboards.

Communication: Excellent verbal and written skills. You must be able to gain consensus among large groups and adapt your style to work with stakeholders from diverse cultures.

Adaptability: Ability to thrive in a complex, fast-paced environment that operates with the agility of a start-up.
