The PayOps Analyst is the operational heartbeat of Mews’ Payment Operations function. You’ll monitor payment flows, manage incidents end to end, and provide the insight that keeps merchants getting paid accurately and on time. This is not a passive monitoring role. We’re looking for someone who can spot issues quickly, think clearly under pressure, and improve how the function operates over time. You’ll help keep daily operations stable while also strengthening the systems, reporting, and playbooks that make the team more proactive and scalable. This role is also built for an AI-first way of working. At Mews, we expect people to use AI tools such as Claude to reduce manual admin, surface anomalies faster, and spend more time on judgment, prioritisation, and escalation. You should be comfortable using AI in your day-to-day work and able to show how it has genuinely improved the way you operate.
