What’s the mission you’ll drive

Build a rock-solid, enterprise-grade merchant operations foundation that transforms operational infrastructure into a strategic competitive advantage, enabling Addi to scale our merchants with full financial traceability, self-service autonomy, and high-integrity data.

What you will do

• Achieve data consistency across pricing, discounts, and revenue systems by implementing a governed, role-based workflow for MDF and discount configurations with full audit trails by the end of H1.

• Increase successful payment rates for new merchants by deploying automated bank account validations, and Host-to-Host integrations.

• Reduce manual cancellation volume by shipping a rebuilt cancellations system that supports multi-partial cancellations, automated loan eligibility rules, and an intuitive "Cancellation Tool" for internal ops.

• Eliminate manual data corrections from onboarding errors by establishing a "Single Source of Truth" for merchant master data with two-way field synchronization between CRM and core financial systems.

• Deliver the H2 2026 Strategic Roadmap by conducting cross-functional discovery into Identity & Access Management and Dynamic Pricing, securing stakeholder buy-in for at least two high-impact self-service merchant products.

What we’re looking for

• Proven Track Record in Operational Infrastructure

  • Expertise in building and maintaining high-reliability backend systems (payment processing, reconciliation, billing) that handle high transaction volumes with zero-tolerance for error.

  • Ability to design and implement enterprise-grade financial controls, including robust audit trails, RBAC, and validation logic to prevent revenue leakage and ensure compliance.

  • Nice-to-have: Direct experience with Colombian/LatAm payment rails or local merchant banking infrastructure.

• Demonstrates High Technical Acumen in Backend Environments

  • Capacity to lead deep-dive technical discussions with engineering teams regarding API design, data pipelines, and system integrations (e.g., Salesforce/CRM to core ledgers).

  • Skill in making pragmatic "rebuild vs. patch" trade-offs, navigating legacy technical debt in a high-growth startup to deliver value without sacrificing long-term stability.

  • Nice-to-have: Background in platform/infrastructure PMing or building developer tools/internal ops platforms like Retool.

• Possesses Strong Cross-Functional Orchestration Skills

  • Ability to act as the "connective tissue" between Finance, Risk, Legal, and Sales, translating dense regulatory or accounting constraints into clear, actionable product requirements.

  • Experienced in driving consensus across teams with conflicting KPIs, such as balancing a Sales team’s drive for speed with Finance’s requirement for data integrity and month-end accuracy.

• Experienced in Process Reengineering and Automation

  • Adept at mapping complex, manual workflows and transforming them into streamlined, automated self-service capabilities that empower merchants and internal teams.

  • Focuses on operational efficiency metrics (e.g., reducing "Time to First Payout," manual ticket volume, or incident counts) rather than traditional consumer engagement metrics.

  • Nice-to-have: Proven track record of Change Management, including the design of rollout plans, documentation, and training to ensure high adoption of new tools.

• Exhibits a Relentless Ownership Mentality

  • Thrives in ambiguous, fast-paced environments, identifying root causes of system failures and taking end-to-end responsibility for the solution without requiring constant direction.

  • Committed to pragmatic problem-solving (80/20 rule), delivering immediate incremental improvements while maintaining a clear vision for the future "North Star" of Merchant Ops.

• Solid Expertise in Data Governance and Integrity

  • Proven ability to establish and maintain a "Single Source of Truth" across disparate systems, ensuring 100% consistency for merchant master data (tax IDs, banking info, contracts).

  • Familiarity with data quality frameworks and the implementation of automated health dashboards and alerting systems to proactively catch data incidents.
