About the Role

Work alongside Product and Engineering to specify agents and build operational tools.
Create and maintain escalation paths, standard operating procedures, and performance metrics.
Improve throughput while keeping operational processes efficient and headcount stable.
What We're Looking For
At least 3 years of experience building products or processes in banking, fintech, payments, or crypto, or consulting experience with regulated financial services.
Experience shipping production workflow automations or agents, including AI or LLM-based systems where applicable.
Hands-on operational experience, such as queue management, case handling, or transaction processing.
Experience owning end-to-end operational domains, including process design, SOPs, KPI definition, and tooling.
Ability to define and optimize operational metrics and collaborate with Product and Engineering to build systems.
Relevant experience in regulated financial services, with exposure to compliance, risk, financial crime, payments, or settlement operations beneficial.
Experience building or scaling operations in an early-stage or high-growth environment is valuable.
