The Role

You will own transaction routing logic and acceptance rate performance across ACE's payment infrastructure. This means designing and maintaining routing rules, analysing decline patterns, and driving continuous improvement — working alongside analytics to identify opportunities and coordinating with technical teams to implement changes. The impact of this work is direct and measurable.

What You Will Own

Routing Logic

  • Design, maintain, and continuously improve transaction routing logic across ACE's payment infrastructure
  • Translate performance data into routing decisions, accounting for acquirer behaviour, corridor characteristics, and cost
  • Model the impact of proposed routing changes before implementation and monitor outcomes post-deployment
  • Maintain clear documentation of all active routing rules, rationale, and measured performance

Acceptance Rate Performance
 

  • Own AR metrics across all active send markets and payment methods, with accountability for performance against targets
  • Analyse decline patterns and identify root causes across acquirer behaviour, issuer rules, scheme mandates, and technical factors
  • Produce evidence-based recommendations and present findings to senior leadership
  • Flag AR deterioration quickly and drive remediation through the relevant internal teams

Cross-functional Input
 

  • Work with the analytics function to ensure performance data supports routing decisions — not to run operations
  • Serve as the internal subject matter expert on routing and AR, providing input to commercial negotiations and partner reviews
  • Feed performance insights back to the Head of PBI for leadership reporting and strategic decisions

What We Are Looking For

Essential
 

  • 4 to 7 years in payments with direct exposure to transaction routing, acceptance rate management, or payment orchestration
  • Strong understanding of what drives and inhibits card acceptance — acquirer behaviour, issuer rules, scheme mandates, 3DS, technical configuration
  • Hands-on experience with a payment orchestration or routing platform
  • Able to translate performance data into clear, defensible business recommendations
  • Confident presenting routing logic and AR analysis to senior non-technical stakeholders

Desirable
 

  • Cross-border payments or multi-corridor environment experience
  • Familiarity with scheme rules and interchange structures as they relate to routing
  • Exposure to decline recovery strategies
  • Background working across multiple acquirers simultaneously

What We Offer
 

  • Competitive salary and package aligned to experience
  • High-ownership role with direct commercial impact in a growing international payments business
  • Executive visibility and genuine scope to shape how performance optimisation is done at ACE
