Senior payment operations specialist driving cross-border payins, payouts, and settlement.
What I'm looking for
I’m a cross-border payment operations specialist with 4+ years running deposit, withdrawal, and settlement flows across Africa, Latin America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. At Bybit, I service payins and payouts across 15+ PSPs, banking partners, and mobile money rails, owning transaction escalations end-to-end.
I diagnose channel-level failures, callback errors, and failed transactions across local payment methods, coordinating resolution with PSPs, banking partners, and internal teams to protect settlement integrity. I apply AML, KYC, and Travel Rule procedures across payment flows, including screening, third-party payment detection, and handling risk-flagged transactions.
Previously at M-TIBA (CarePay International), I ran end-to-end settlement and reconciliation for 50,000+ monthly transactions across 10+ partners, improving reconciliation accuracy to over 99% and owning partner funding and float management. I also build monitoring dashboards in Metabase and Snowflake, cut manual reporting effort by ~40%, and contribute to process improvements that senior management adopted.
