Job Purpose
Key Responsibilities
- Monitor live payout performance across all corridors and partners; proactively identify and flag anomalies, delays, or failure spikes before they escalate.
- Take ownership of payout exceptions end-to-end — investigate root cause, coordinate the fix, and confirm resolution rather than just logging the issue.
- Conduct detailed root cause analysis for failed or delayed payments and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
- Investigate and resolve technical or operational issues affecting payout performance across APIs channels, and internal systems.
- Ensure all payouts are processed within the Service Level Agreements (SLAs) agreed with partners; escalate breaches with supporting data.
- Perform upfront validation of bank accounts and wallet accounts across corridors to minimize transaction failure rates.
- Reconcile gateway and BI-reported figures periodically; flag and follow up on discrepancies until closed.
- Coordinate with the Payout Strategist on new product proposals, end-to-end testing, and smooth go-live execution.
- Liaise with payout partners, banks, and internal IT/Product/R&D teams to troubleshoot transaction failures and update partner APIs.
- Address payout-related customer service escalations raised via CX in a timely and effective manner, with a clear resolution path.
- Communicate product changes and new product launches to all relevant teams and the CX Department, including formal email announcements.
- Regularly review existing payout products/partners to identify recurring issues and drive necessary enhancements.
- Identify inefficiencies in the payout process and propose workflow improvements; support automation of manual steps.
- Maintain complete and current documentation for all payout partners, including product details and integration specifications.
- Support training of internal teams on updated payout workflows, tools, and partner requirements.
- Participate in cross-functional projects aimed at strengthening payment infrastructure and payout resilience.
- Prepare and submit a monthly performance report covering key KPIs and partner-related challenges to the Team Lead by the 5th of each month, for consolidation and onward reporting to the Manager.
- Maintain an issue/exception log with clear status, ownership, and closure timelines for management visibility.
- Undertake any additional tasks or responsibilities assigned by the Head/Manager.
Required Skills & Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, IT, or a related field.
- 1–2 years of experience in payment/payout operations, fintech, banking, or remittance operations.

- Excellent coordination skills — able to work confidently with IT, partners, and CX under time pressure.
- Strong written communication for partner correspondence, issue documentation, and management reporting.
