Role Overview
Are you the person everyone turns to when payment conversations become commercially complex? My client provides a Global marketplace for Travel engagement. They are looking for a senior payments expert who can bridge the gap between deep payments knowledge and commercial advisory. This isn't a product management, delivery, or implementation role. Instead, you'll become the trusted subject matter expert helping both internal commercial teams and some of the platform's largest accommodation/travel partners understand the commercial realities of virtual B2B Payments.
You'll advise on topics including interchange, scheme fees, acquirer and PSP pricing, FX, payout models, payment economics, and cost optimization, translating complex payment concepts into practical commercial recommendations that build trust with partners.
Working across several strategic initiatives, you'll help shape partner payment strategies, support high-value commercial conversations, and influence decisions that improve payment value, operational efficiency, and partner experience. You'll also create guidance and best practices that enable commercial teams to confidently navigate sensitive payment discussions.

Key Responsibilities
- Lead and contribute as a subject matter expert to partner payment advisory work across scheme economics, interchange, pricing models, cost drivers, and partner-level payment economics.
- Act as a trusted advisor to commercial and partner-facing teams, explaining complex payment topics in a clear and commercially relevant way.
- Support partner-specific payment discussions by listening to partner questions, identifying the underlying business or payment concern, and helping shape thoughtful, accurate, and partner-appropriate responses.
- Serve as a senior SME on payment economics, including PSP/acquirer pricing, scheme fees, interchange, issuer context, FX, chargebacks, and cost optimization levers.
Job Description
- Help colleagues understand what can be shared externally, what should remain internal, and how to frame sensitive payment topics appropriately in partner conversations.
- Apply specialist knowledge and commercial judgment to assess which payment setup best fits the partner’s needs across value, payout timing, payment certainty, risk, reconciliation, and operational fit.
- Contribute to reusable guidance, playbooks, FAQs, and partner-facing explanations based on recurring partner questions and learnings.
