About the Job
You are looking for a challenge, eager for a fast-paced startup environment that will push you out of your comfort zone, where learning happens. Most importantly, you’re a problem solver with exquisite attention to detail, unafraid to get technical to understand the root cause of an issue.
The Financial Operations team manages all customer funds across the region, ensuring that funds are placed appropriately, liquidity is managed correctly, transactions are reconciled and all manual operations to support customer fund flows are executed to an extremely high standard.
As we expand across more countries, we have developed a global offering (“Global Accounts”) for our merchants, allowing them to move funds seamlessly across currencies and leverage any of Xendit’s global services from within one dashboard. This role will be the main owner of all regional fund flows, overseeing float management, liquidity forecasting, day to day operations, cross border and FX operations. The focus will be on the strategy and management of this, while execution will primarily be done by the existing operations team.
If you can be accurate and detail-oriented under pressure, are always reliable, collaborative, and love the dynamic environment of operations, we want to hear from you. Bonus points for those who love challenging the status quo.
