Southeast Asia's fintech moment starts here.
You'll own card and ATM operations at Salmon — reconciliation, settlements, chargebacks and disputes, issuing, acquiring — while we connect a new card processor and build out our ATM network.
- Run card operations end to end: issuing, acquiring, processor management, and card scheme operations, with Visa connected directly and Mastercard through partners.
- Build reconciliation for a new card processor we are connecting in the coming months.
- Set up reconciliation for a growing ATM network across three levels — the national payment networks, each individual machine, and the cash-in-transit partner — plus customer accounts.
- Take over live processes without incidents, gaps, or service interruptions — this is the first priority in your first months.
- Own card reconciliation and settlements, plus chargeback and dispute handling end to end.
- Build and lead a Philippines-based operations team: hiring, onboarding, performance, motivation, retention.
- Deliver the reconciliation setup for the new processor and for the ATM network as it scales from its first machines to a national footprint.
- Manage processors and card scheme operations, including SLAs and escalations.
- Work with Product and Engineering to define operational requirements for new card and ATM flows, and with the regulator on your part of the business in English.
- 5+ years in card operations, including time in international fintech, digital banking, or payment processing
- Hands-on experience with card reconciliation, settlements, chargebacks and disputes, issuing, or acquiring at real transaction volume
- Management experience where you hired, built, and scaled a team — not only held a senior title inside one
- Experience working with non-local or distributed teams, effective in a multicultural setup without a long ramp-up
- Fluent English, written and spoken — your team is Philippines-based and part of the regulator communication is in English
- Ready to relocate to Manila; the first three months onsite are required for work visa processing
