It’s true. At Mews, we dream big. As a Hotel Tech unicorn valued at $1.2b, we’re propelling new-generation cloud technology within global hospitality. With our industry-leading property management solution, we’re enabling the world’s most revolutionary hospitality brands to accelerate their digital transformation.
We’re on the lookout for ambitious, tenacious and passionate people who want to join the next generation of innovators and disrupt the hospitality industry with us. Sound good so far? Keep reading and tumble down the Mews rabbit hole... 🐇
First things first: you want to know what you’re actually applying for. It’s impossible to capture every nuance of a role – especially at a rapidly growing company like Mews – but if we had to distill it down to a job description (which we do because this is a job description), it would be this:
At Mews, payments never sleep — and neither does our commitment to reliability. As a Payments Operations Analyst, you’ll be at the heart of how money moves through our platform: ensuring guests are charged correctly, properties are paid on time, and every transaction flows as it should.
You’ll turn playbooks and processes into smooth execution. From monitoring payouts and authorization rates to resolving incidents with PSPs and internal teams, you’ll keep the operational engine running — and visible. Your insights will help shape how Mews scales payments globally, while freeing up the PayOps Lead to focus on strategy and growth.
This isn’t just about following checklists. It’s about owning them — spotting patterns, preventing issues before they escalate, and creating stability that enables trust. You’ll collaborate daily with product managers, support, R&D, and payment providers to make sure every euro finds its way home.
✅ Your mission, should you choose to accept it:
- Monitor payout timeliness, authorization success rates, SLA breaches, dispute prevention readiness, and fee accuracy.
- Log and manage incidents in Jira Service Portal, ensuring proper ownership, SLA tracking, and resolution.
- Perform root cause analysis (RCA) of recurring issues and escalate where needed, feeding insights to the PayOps Manager.
- Support operational readiness checklists for PSP/Vendor onboarding, new market entries, and feature launches. Coordinate with Customer Support, Product, FinTech RnD, FinCrime, and PSP/Vendors to resolve escalations.
- Prepare weekly KPI reports and monthly PSP/vendor performance summaries. Maintain the runbook library for recurring issues and standard operating tasks.
- Flag recurring incidents into the Operational Risk Register for governance review.
- Track PSP/Vendor SLA adherence and provide metrics to PayOps Manager. Draft first-line merchant communications for outages or incidents (to be approved by PayOps Manager). Validate data quality during incident handling (distinguishing PSP/Vendor/System issues from API/reporting lags).
🤝️ You’ll be a great fit if you bring the below with you:
- 2–4 years’ experience in Payments, Operations, or FinTech.
- Knowledge of card acquiring, PSPs, and payout processes.
- Strong problem solving and analytical mindset.
- Comfort with Jira, Slack, Confluence, PB dashboards.
- Excellent communicator, able to liaise across teams and with external partners.

Because at Mews, growth, balance, and belonging aren't just words, they're how we work.
We want to get to know you, so it’s only fair we tell you a little bit about ourselves first. Mews has been transforming hospitality since 2012. What began in a single hotel in Prague now powers thousands of hotels around the world, as they pursue their mission to develop transformational solutions for brands and create remarkable experiences for guests.
Since the beginning, Mews embraced being different. Mews is not simply a property management system, but a connected hospitality cloud with products across the hotel ecosystem and more integrations than anyone else.
From global hospitality brands to independent properties, hoteliers join Mews because they recognize the power of innovation. They understand that they can benefit from hotel tech that drives efficiency, maximizes revenue, and improves guest happiness.
Powering over 5,000 customers across more than 85 countries, Mews Hospitality Cloud is designed to streamline operations for modern hoteliers, transform the guest experience and create more profitable businesses.
Ranked 24th in the FT 1000 list of the fastest-growing European companies in 2021, Mews has been recognized as the Best PMS by industry peers at the HotelTechAwards in both 2020 and 2024, consistently earning acclaim. Mews also achieved finalist status in 2021 and 2022. What's more, we take immense pride in being listed among the Best Places to Work in Hotel Tech during those same years and again this year. But our achievements don't stop there; Mews was also listed among the World's Best Hotel PMS Provider 2023 and as the World's Best Independent Hotel PMS Provider 2022 and 2023 by the World Travel Tech Awards.
That’s what we do, but what about who we are? Mews’ culture is special and difficult to capture in words, which makes writing this tricky. You'll experience the freedom to be yourself and the ability to watch your ideas come to life. You’ll have an open line of communication and an open invitation to after-work drinks, be they virtual or in-person. Sometimes the work can be challenging and there can be a lot of it, but you’ll always be able to rely on those around you.
Yes, we’re ambitious and we move fast, but we know the value of fun and taking a breather. We have slack channels for almost every interest imaginable, and an all-company meeting every Friday gives you the chance to ask any question to our leadership team.

We’re guided by our five key values; if you see yourself in them, it’s time to get in touch.
We’re an equal opportunities employer. To reimagine the art of hospitality, we need teams that represent our global and diverse customers and users. Our differences make Mews, so we welcome people of all backgrounds and identities to work with us. We embrace different perspectives, encourage trying new things and want everyone to feel safe bringing their authentic self to work. If this sounds like you and you’re ready to join a global, innovative and exciting community, we’d love to hear from you.
One very important note: don’t hold back. Even if you don’t meet 100% of the criteria listed in this job description, we still encourage you to apply. We believe everyone should have equal access to opportunities and we’re committed to providing an inclusive experience, so please let us know if there’s anything we can do to support you during the application process. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability, or any other protected characteristic. We can’t wait to hear from you.
🤖 AI and Hiring at MewsAt Mews, we believe AI enhances our work but should not replace what humanises it and makes it individually ours. We see AI as a tool to support research, generate ideas, and drive efficiency, but creativity, critical thinking, and opinions differentiate us. As you apply, feel free to use AI to help structure your thoughts — but ensure your application and conversations with us, reflect your personal opinions, capabilities and experience. We’re building an AI-enabled workforce, and that starts with people who think independently and bring fresh ideas to the table. Because at Mews, making work more human is the ultimate goal.
