Job Description

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Serve as the payment subject-matter expert, guiding internal teams and customers through payment systems, merchant account setups, escalations, and resolution strategies.

  • Analyze trends in merchant issues and recommend updates to documentation, workflows, or processes to proactively improve the experience.
  • Represent Merchant Services in meetings with Product, Customer Success, and Support teams—serving as a translator between business needs and technical realities.
  • Maintain a deep understanding of processor platforms (e.g., First Data, Stripe) and stay current on payment industry developments.
  • Document resolutions, processes, and best practices in internal knowledge bases to ensure organizational readiness and knowledge sharing.
  • Consistently exceed performance metrics related to issue resolution, customer satisfaction, and quality.

    What You Bring to the Table:

  • A deep understanding of the payments ecosystem, including PCI compliance, credit/ACH processing, disputes, settlements, and merchant funding.
  • A proactive, solution-oriented mindset—you don’t just fix problems, you help prevent them.
  • Strong ethics and a passion for protecting sensitive customer data.
  • A collaborative spirit—you’re a team player who works well across departments and functions.
  • Ability to explain technical payment concepts clearly and simply to customers and non-technical teams.
  • Thrive in a fast-paced environment and remain calm under pressure.
  • Meticulous attention to detail and strong organizational skills.
