* Design and launch production automations, then validate them with live workflows and measure their impact.
* Scale automated agents across your domain while reserving human review for high-risk or complex decisions.
* Work alongside Product and Engineering to specify agents and build operational tools.
* Create and maintain escalation paths, standard operating procedures, and performance metrics.
* Improve throughput while keeping operational processes efficient and headcount stable.
What We're Looking For
* At least 3 years of experience building products or processes in banking, fintech, payments, or crypto, or consulting experience with regulated financial services.
* Experience shipping production workflow automations or agents, including AI or LLM-based systems where applicable.
* Hands-on operational experience, such as queue management, case handling, or transaction processing.
* Experience owning end-to-end operational domains, including process design, SOPs, KPI definition, and tooling.
* Ability to define and optimize operational metrics and collaborate with Product and Engineering to build systems.
* Relevant experience in regulated financial services, with exposure to compliance, risk, financial crime, payments, or settlement operations beneficial.
* Experience building or scaling operations in an early-stage or high-growth environment is valuable.
