• Assist with internal operations by tracking deliverables across legal, engineering, finance, and marketing, and driving task execution across cross-functional teams.

• Analyze commercial structures and business models - including scenario modeling, revenue sharing, fee structuring, and volume forecasting.

• Evaluate strategic opportunities including collaborations and M&A - conduct market intelligence, assess data rooms, and prepare executive recommendation materials.

• Maintain internal tools such as CRMs, trackers, and performance dashboards, and contribute to internal reports and KPIs.

What You'll Need

• 2 - 4 years of experience in payments, fintech, finance, consulting, strategy, or business operations.

• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in Finance, Economics, Business, or a related field.

• Strong analytical skills with comfort in Excel or Google Sheets - particularly in modeling, sensitivity analysis, and comparisons of commercial terms.

• Clear, concise communicator with excellent written and verbal skills - capable of drafting presentations, memos, and client-facing materials.

• Highly organized and adaptable - able to manage multiple ongoing projects in a fast-paced, evolving environment.

• Strong cross-functional collaborator - confident working with engineering, legal, operations, and executive stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in web2 payments e.g. card acquiring at a PSP - especially in roles involving deal support, commercial structure, pricing models, or product analysis.

• Familiarity with crypto or blockchain-based financial infrastructure (DeFi, stablecoins, remittances, etc.).

• Exposure to M&A workflows, partnerships evaluation, or strategic investment analysis.

• Understanding of FX markets, and financial challenges in emerging economies.

• Proficiency with productivity tools like Notion, Looker, Airtable, Google Slides, and CRMs (e.g. Salesforce).
