Analyze cohorts and the impact of billing on retention.
Launch and manage MIDs, and build the legal entity structure for different products and geos.
Work with descriptors, MCC, and risk profiles, and manage relationships with providers, acquirers, and banks.
Connect billing to new products and funnels, and quickly spin up new MIDs to support scaling.
Set up payments for different business models (subscription/one-off/hybrid).
Control key metrics (approval rate, chargeback rate, refund rate, VAMP/fraud indicators) and build an alerting system.
Reduce chargebacks and fraud without losing revenue.
Run billing projects end-to-end and sync with marketing, product, and finance.
Prioritize the work that delivers business results.

Requirements

3+ years in a similar role in a subscription business.
Hands-on experience with payment systems and payment orchestration platforms.

Strong billing analytics: metrics, cohorts, and impact on LTV / retention, plus full-cycle chargeback and dispute management experience (alerts, reason codes, scheme programs).
Data-driven decision-making and ability to balance revenue growth against risk.
High ownership and proactivity - you see opportunities and act, you don't wait for tasks.
English at Upper-Intermediate or higher.

Nice to Have

Hands-on rule-setting in antifraud tools.
Knowledge of card-scheme dispute programs (Visa, Mastercard - VAMP).
Comfort with BI tools (Tableau, Superset, Looker) and writing technical requirements for developers.
Experience running A/B tests.
