Job Title: Technical Cards Operations Manager

Job Type: Full Time, Permanent

Location: London, Hybrid

Role purpose

This new role in the Cards Transformation team is responsible for supporting the development and delivery of the card strategy.

The role requires a cards subject matter expert with hands on experience of the detailed workings of card programmes. Recalling experience from setting up new card programmes, making changes to existing programmes and resolving live issues, the Technical Operations Manager will ensure our products and operating models are set up optimally.

Raising considerations during the new product development stage, obtaining agreement and documenting requirements will form part of the role, along with follow up activities to implement the requirements into new or updated products.

The successful candidate will be very familiar with all aspects of decisions made in relation to card programmes. They will know the way schemes are typically set up, various authorisation flows – at point of sale, e-commerce or via Apple Pay, Google Pay or other wallets and the best customer journeys associated. They will be familiar with different account structures and configuration options on card programmes from having worked at a programme manager, self-issuer or processor.

Perhaps not an expert in CPV/VPA or card chip set ups, but familiar with these acronyms and implementing new card manufacturing relationships and the certifications and authorisations required.

Similarly, direct call centre management experience is not needed, but the Tech Ops Manager may be asked to drive delivery of new systems to support customers whether it is an IVR, new telephony system or chat bot.

Direct project management experience is not necessary but must be comfortable owning end to end delivery of changes and new features – actively involved in the detail. With experience ensuring operational readiness, cascading the technical information into call centres, operations teams and other support functions; the candidate will be comfortable taking complex information and producing simple flows and process documentation where needed.
