Take a look through Capi’s mission & values.
You will join our fast-growing global team as the person who turns payment ideas into live rails.
Reporting to the Head of BizOps, this is a unique hybrid role combining deep payments expertise with hands-on operational experience. You will own the end-to-end launch of new payout rails, payments in new sender markets, and new payment products—from technical scoping and provider negotiation through to testing, ops design, and go-live. You will also be a core member of the daily payments team, providing resilience and depth to our payments operations.
Own new rail, product and market launches for Ops
Own new payment rails and sender markets once a partner is selected, from the first test transaction to full operational handover
Lead structured testing: design test cases, run transactions, document edge cases, and sign off readiness
Ensure every new flow fits cleanly within Capi's existing ops processes or adapt processes where needed
Be the single owner of all transactions for a new rail or country at launch, building deep knowledge before spreading it to the wider team
Train the PaymentOps team once a new rail is stable and ready to be handed over
Run daily payments 1-2 times / week
Execute customer payments alongside the PaymentOps team each morning and afternoon, ensuring liquidity is in the right places and payments go out on time
Troubleshoot complex or stuck payments, working with banks, providers, and customers to resolve them
Ensure collections are on track and documentation is complete for each transaction
Improve our payment operations
Identify process and system improvements that make our payment operations faster, more resilient, and more scalable
Fluent in English; French is a strong plus
4+ years of experience in payments, with solid knowledge of international payment rails (SWIFT, SEPA, stablecoins, card networks, etc)
You understand how rails work mechanically — settlement, FX, correspondent flows, compliance controls
Operational at heart: you've designed processes, written playbooks, and done the work yourself
Rigorous tester — you don't sign off until you're confident the edge cases are covered
Clear communicator who can train and document for a non-expert audience
Highly organised, ownership-driven, comfortable with ambiguity
Experience with CNY/CNH payments or Chinese speaking
Experience with African or emerging market corridors
Experience with stablecoin or crypto rails
You care about our mission and believe the current situation facing African businesses is unfair
Comfortable using AI tools to work faster and smarter
This is a full-time position with competitive salary, share options, and benefits
This is a hybrid position; we are in the office 3 days per week
Start date: Q2 2026 - we are aware people will have notice periods, and can adjust as needed
