Manager Of Operations Jobs in Midvale, UT (NOW HIRING)

Team

Based out of our office in Sandy, Utah, we are eager to welcome local candidates as well as those looking to relocate to the area. We operate on a hybrid model with an expectation of two days per week in the office.

The Payment Operations team powers the accurate, timely, and secure movement of funds across the entire Raisin U.S. platform. As a multi-bank deposit marketplace supporting high-yield savings accounts, CDs, and a centralized cash account, Raisin facilitates inbound and outbound ACH transactions, reinvestments, and internal money movement across partner banks, custodial banks, and service bank relationships.

Payment Operations owns the end-to-end payment lifecycle: transaction processing, multi-entity settlement, ledger reconciliation, exception resolution, and operational risk mitigation. The team works hand-in-hand with Product, Engineering, Compliance, Custodial and Service Banks and other partners to build scalable financial infrastructure.

As Raisin expands, we are focused on designing a flexible operational architecture capable of supporting a broader multi-rail payment ecosystem.

Your Responsibilities

As the Head of Payment Operations, you will lead our core payments function through an exciting expansion phase: scaling our existing payment infrastructure while designing, launching, and managing operational workflows for new payment rails from the ground up.

You are a hybrid leader: a strategic thinker who can partner internally and externally to launch new capabilities, and an accountable operator who has strong expertise in managing ledger entries, settlement breaks, dispute workflows, and network rules. You bring hands-on experience across multiple payment rails and a strong understanding of the Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) landscape, including sponsor bank dynamics, issuer processors, and modern payment orchestration. 

As Raisin US's senior most payments operator, you are accountable for ensuring timely and accurate money movement and reconciliation, and the primary architect of our multi rail operational strategy.
