About the role
As Product Ops Lead - Payments, you'll own the rollout and operation of Nclusion's remittance corridors across active markets.

- Support Country GMs in sequencing remittance launches against local demand, regulation, and agent network readiness.
- Track remittance KPIs (volume, transaction success rates, cost) and quality signals (complaints, failures, distrust), and drive corrective action.
- Collaborate with broader Operations Leadership on broader market launch plans.
- Ensure agent network readiness, including agent onboarding and KYC.
- Build scalable SOPs and compliance checklists that repeat across corridors.
- Monitor cross-border and crypto-enabled remittance trends and evaluate fit.
Requirements
- 8+ years in remittance, cross-border payments, or fintech ops, ideally in emerging or frontier markets.

- Experience launching or scaling remittance corridors/products in a high-growth or startup environment.
- Experience negotiating and managing vendor/partner relationships (payment rails, banks, MTOs) directly.
- Strong analytical rigor able to read corridor and transaction data and turn it into action.
- Cross-functional experience with Product, Compliance, and local market leadership.
- Crypto/stablecoin rail knowledge is a plus.

- Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
- Competitive compensation and equity—we believe in sharing success.
