If you’re someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment, loves solving problems, and wants variety in your day rather than doing the same thing on repeat, this one’s for you.

The Role:

- Run daily reconciliations between the cash processing system and the player account management system, investigating and resolving any discrepancies
- Work closely with customer service teams to resolve payment queries and, over time, interact directly with clients to provide that high-touch service experience the business is known for
- Partner with the Compliance team on AML-related activity and ensure payment processes meet regulatory obligations
- Oversee monthly management of customer credit accounts
- Provide regular reporting on payment performance and highlight trends to senior stakeholders
- Identify opportunities to improve and streamline payment processes and controls
Skills Needed:
- Experience in payments operations – online gaming is a plus but strong e-commerce payments experience also considered
- Comfortable working with reconciliation processes and spotting discrepancies between data sources
- Analytical mindset with strong attention to detail and a natural curiosity to get to the bottom of things
- Clear communicator, able to work across teams and explain things simply
- Self-motivated and able to work independently
- Organised and calm under pressure, able to juggle competing priorities in a fast-moving environment
- Flexible approach to working – this role includes weekend working as part of a structured rota
Benefits:
- Salary £37,000 – £42,000 DOE
- Hybrid working – flexible setup within a high-energy office environment
- Real career development opportunity – grow into finance, compliance, or broader business areas based on your interests
- Work in a passionate, sports-loving team with big ambitions
- Be part of a company that genuinely invests in its people and builds long-term career paths
- A role with genuine variety, where no two days the same
