DATA ANALYST - FINANCIAL & PAYMENTS CONTROLLER
Antonio, our Head of Payments, is looking for a Data Analyst to support financial and payment operations related to Scalapay IP, our licensed payment institute.
This is not your typical analyst role: you’ll have the opportunity to take full ownership of projects end-to-end, working across the entire payments and financial data lifecycle from analysis to execution. You’ll operate at the intersection of people, processes, and data, playing a critical role in ensuring operational accuracy, payment integrity, SLA compliance, and risk mitigation in a regulated environment.
If you're passionate about payments and want to build deep expertise while working with cutting-edge technologies in a modern, fast-paced setting, this role is your springboard.
What You’ll Do:
- Reconciliation oversight: Ensure timely and accurate reconciliations across multiple workflows, maintaining data integrity and collaborating closely with the finance team.
- SLA monitoring of third-party providers: Track and validate the performance of external providers (e.g., processors, acquirers, banking partners) against contractual SLAs. Ensure service levels are met, escalate deviations, and contribute to reporting for internal stakeholders and audits.
- Stakeholder collaboration: Work cross-functionally with internal teams and external partners (banks, acquirers, processors) to address inquiries, optimize processes, and identify improvement opportunities.
- Continuous process improvement: Collect and refine business and technical requirements to improve accuracy and streamline operations.
- Risk control and issue resolution: Proactively identify, assess, and mitigate operational risks. Conduct checks on bank and acquirer integrations, manage incidents, and troubleshoot processing errors using internal tools.
- Invoice reconciliation: Validate invoices from acquirers, processors, and card schemes, ensuring accuracy in charges and proper revenue attribution.
What we are looking for:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Finance, Economics, or Technology;
- 3 - 6 years of experience in banking, fintech, or financial services - preferably within payments, operations, or reconciliation;
- Advanced proficiency in SQL and Excel, with a strong data-driven mindset;
- Working knowledge of scripting languages such as Python or R to automate tasks and improve data workflows;
- Experience with Business Intelligence tools (e.g., Looker, Power BI, Tableau);
- Fluency in Italian and English, both written and spoken.
Why you should join Scalapay:
- Competitive compensation tailored to your experience and skills
- International environment with exciting challenges every day
- Work with industry experts and tech leaders building world-class fintech products
- Career acceleration with tailored mentorship and ownership of your work
- Access to cutting-edge tools and technologies, your creativity is welcome
- A culture that values innovation, transparency, and continuous feedback
Recruitment Process:
- A quick chat with one of our Talent Acquisition team members
- The first interview with Antonio (Head of Payments) to deep dive into your experiences and better understand your motivation
- A case study to test your hard skills
- The review of the test study with Antonio and Johnny (our CTO)
