• As VP of Operations, own the operating system behind Sphere's payments, banking, FX, and compliance flows globally. • Turn live flow into a reliable, automated operation and make corridor launches repeatable. • Operational execution across customers, vendors, banks, and internal systems: settlement, reconciliation, exception and failure handling. • Onboarding, implementation, support, and servicing, owned end to end. • Define the standard that holds across jurisdictions and decide where local divergence is necessary. • Work closely with compliance and product teams to coordinate localized definitions of risk management programs. • Own operational risk across flows, reconciliation, and vendor and rail dependencies.

• Work with our existing Frontend team to build a series of reusable components and design features. • Design and develop for multiple audiences in a way that resonates with their unique needs. • Analyze user behavior and engagement metrics to develop optimized flows. • Work with your peers in the Product and Engineering teams to take key features live. • Write high-quality code with an emphasis on reusability, reliability, and ease of use. • Create and maintain technical documents including flow diagrams, development / testing documentation, and implementation guides. • Work directly with product owners, end users, and clients to get feedback on your solutions before they go live.

• Own customer-facing communications across the full customer lifecycle, from onboarding through ongoing payment operations. • Manage KYB and KYC document collection, application tracking. Follow up proactively on stalled or incomplete applications. • Communicate approval notifications and provide post-approval guidance on account setup, testing, and settlement expectations. • Own first-line resolution for payment inquiries: transaction status, failed payouts, delayed settlements, deposit matching, account configuration, and wallet setup. • Provide accurate settlement time estimates and rail-specific guidance • Serve as primary backup for liquidity operations. Process manual cross-border transactions independently. • Own ticket hygiene across all customer channels: tagging, categorization, status updates, SLA tracking, and closure workflows. • Participate in daily queue monitoring. Proactively identify and claim tickets without waiting to be tagged. Flag tickets approaching SLA thresholds. • Help maintain the customer support knowledge base and onboarding FAQ. Document new edge cases and resolution patterns weekly. • Track and report operational metrics: open tickets, response times, SLA compliance, ticket volume by channel, and personal escalation rate. • Escalate selectively: compliance policy questions, complex entity structures, complex liquidity operations, provider-level disputes, and issues requiring banking partner coordination.

• Build internal tooling, automations, and workflows that allow to identify patterns in support volume, reduce manual effort and make the team faster. • Own engineering support end-to-end. You’ll triage incoming issues, diagnose root causes, and resolve them, including writing and shipping code fixes directly when the problem warrants it. • Engage directly with customers in the context of support and communicate clearly on technical issues, timelines, and resolutions. • Partner with product and engineering to define work that makes the platform easier to support: better error messages, smarter observability, improved defaults. Quantify the impact and make the case for prioritization. • Work together with product, engineering towards a product roadmap aiming reducing the number of technical queries received by support. • Collaborate with customer support, onboarding and payment ops teams to ensure workarounds are documented and used by AI to faster customer support. • Own our customer facing documents, ensuring accuracy and usefulness so customers can unblock their own agency.

• Own the release process — you're the last line of defense before code ships. That means uphold release criteria, coordinating across engineering, and making the call on whether something is ready to go. • Shape the CI/CD pipeline alongside engineering — defining what gates matter, what signals are trustworthy, and what tooling gives the team confidence at every stage from commit to deploy. • Work with product and engineering to translate user journeys and acceptance criteria into thorough, well-structured test cases — covering happy paths, edge cases, and failure modes across an expanding product surface area. • Execute those test cases continuously as the platform grows, catching regressions and surfacing bugs before they reach customers. • Collaborate with engineering to improve platform testability — better interfaces for test isolation, cleaner seams between components, and systems that make verification straightforward rather than painful. • Build and maintain automated test suites that scale with the product, reducing the manual burden over time and making quality a property of the delivery pipeline rather than a gate at the end of it. • Fundamentally raise the testing bar across the engineering team — through code review, documentation, pairing, and pragmatic guidance on what good testing looks like at each layer of the stack.
