What’s the opportunity?
As our Execution and Enablement Manager, you will play a key role in driving operational excellence across dLocal’s Payins network. You’ll own strategic relationships with processors, acquirers, APM providers, card schemes, regulators, and issuers, ensuring smooth and high-performing operations. Collaborating across teams, you’ll optimize costs, boost approvals and reliability, and deliver seamless merchant go-lives. You’ll also lead the end-to-end process of introducing new payment methods and enhancing existing solutions—making a tangible impact by increasing approval rates, reducing costs and latency, and accelerating merchants’ time-to-revenue.
What will I be doing?
- Own day-to-day operational relationship for assigned partners: onboarding, credential/contract changes, operational migrations, and go-live readiness.
- Coordinate root-cause investigations and remediation with partners and internal teams to resolve business and technical blockers.
- Coordinate with various internal teams and relay processor feedback; support market-specific needs and practices to improve continuity.
- Negotiate pricing, SLAs and special commercial terms (ex, commercial campaigns with issuers); enable partner features and new payment flows.
- Manage fines process and costs structures: track, upload evidence, and ensure card-scheme mandates are implemented.
- Provide hands-on enablement and hypercare for merchant integrations and go-lives; act as the escalation contact for CS and AM teams during critical incidents.
- Analyze rejection reasons, partner performance, and routing to implement initiatives that increase approvals and reduce costs.
- Identify and help integrate new operational capabilities (new tenders, features) and benchmark partner performance against market standards.
- Maintain and drive the Partners Health Matrix; run health reviews and deliver action plans.
- Report progress, risks and outcomes to stakeholders; own core KPIs and continuous improvement initiatives.
What Skills do I need?
- 4–6+ years in payments/fintech operations, partner/processor or issuing and acquiring management (experience with card schemes and APMs strongly preferred).
- Bachelor’s degree in Business, Engineering, Economics, or related field; fluency in English (additional languages a plus).
- Proven ability to negotiate pricing, SLAs and commercial agreements with partners.
- Strong understanding of payment flows and operations (APIs, webhooks, credentials, routing, settlement, reconciliation); comfortable working with Product and Engineering.
- Data-driven mindset with strong root-cause analysis skills. Proficient with Excel/Sheets; SQL or BI tools a plus.
- Working knowledge of scheme mandates, fines processes, and operational compliance (AML/KYC considerations).
- Excellent communication and ability to influence across functions and with external partners.
- Experience leading cross-functional programs, merchant go-lives, and driving actions under tight timelines.
- Bias for action, ownership, strong organisation, and ability to operate across time zones and manage multiple initiatives.
- Experience working with AI tools or automations is considered a plus.
