Payment Operations Specialist
Operations
London, UK
Who We Are:
At Omaze, we give our community in the UK and Germany the chance to win luxury homes and other life-changing prizes — all while raising money for the causes they love.
Thanks to our Omaze Community, we’ve raised over £100 million for UK charities in just five years. That’s millions helping organisations like Age UK, the RSPCA, British Heart Foundation and Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity deliver life-saving work.
And the best part? We’re only just getting started. Omaze is building a business and culture committed to growth and creating significant social impact on a global scale.
🔑 About The Job
Omaze is a subscription-first fundraising platform with over 1.2 million active subscribers. We run large-scale prize draws that change people's lives — and we need flawless payments infrastructure behind every one. This role is the operational heartbeat of that infrastructure: owning reconciliation, dunning, vendor relationships, and the day-to-day health of our payments ecosystem.

Collaborate with CRM and Product to improve pre-dunning communications

RECONCILIATION

Build and maintain automated reconciliation tooling in partnership with Engineering or BI

CROSS-FUNCTIONAL

🤩 About You
Experience in a payments, fintech, or subscription operations role
Hands-on experience with Stripe, including billing, radar, and reporting APIs
Proven ownership of a dunning or failed-payment recovery programme
Experience running reconciliation at scale (>100k transactions/month)
Strong data skills — comfortable in Excel/Sheets
Ability to read and interpret processor reporting and settlement files
Excellent attention to detail and a low tolerance for unexplained discrepancies
Clear written communicator able to brief both technical and non-technical audiences
THE KIND OF PERSON WHO'LL THRIVE HERE
Relentlessly precise. At 1.2 million subscribers, small error rates become big numbers fast. You're the person who notices the discrepancy everyone else missed and doesn't rest until it's explained.
Recovery-minded. You don't just run the dunning process — you obsess over why cards fail, segment your retries intelligently, and find percentage points of recovery others leave behind.
A confident vendor partner. You build strong relationships with Stripe and Shopify account teams, know how to escalate effectively, and hold vendors accountable to SLAs without burning bridges.
Process-builder, not just process-follower. You inherit some workflows and build others from scratch. You're comfortable creating runbooks, automating repetitive checks, and leaving things better than you found them.
Clear under pressure. When a payment incident lands at pace, you triage fast, communicate clearly to Finance and leadership, and resolve it without drama.
