Disputes Operations & Strategy

ABOUT ONEPAY OnePay is the consumer fintech trusted by millions of Americans to make money better. Our financial system is broken. High fees, low rates, and too few ways to actually grow your money. We’re fixing it. And we’re moving fast. We’re an all-in-one financial services platform that brings together banking, high-yield savings, credit cards, point-of-sale lending, investing, and crypto in one place. We also partner with employers, HCM providers, gig platforms, and others to deliver embedded financial services to millions of employees and frontline workers. We’re backed by Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, and Ribbit Capital, one of fintech’s most respected investors, giving us rare scale, distribution, and the opportunity to build something truly category-defining. But what really sets OnePay apart is how we move. Our customers don’t have time to wait… and neither do we. This place moves fast, and we’re looking for people who are: - Ready to run - Hungry and driven by urgency - Exceptional at what they do, with low ego - Comfortable operating in motion THE ROLE The Disputes Operations & Strategy role will manage day-to-day operations and execute our overall strategy for dispute-related workflows and servicing, with a heavy focus on AI-driven automation. This role will impact OnePay’s vision by delivering simple, scalable, and technology-forward solutions to improve our operations, as well as upgrading customer-facing and agent-facing tooling to reduce regulatory, operational, and fraud risks. You will work closely with various teams to transform disputes intake, investigations, chargebacks, and resolution across all product offerings at OnePay using cutting-edge AI technologies. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Drive AI Transformation: Leverage AI, LLMs, and automation tools to continuously surface opportunities to reduce operating costs, improve customer experience, and decrease dispute complaint rates—and build the business cases to act on them.

• Oversee Operations: Own daily back-office operations for disputes workflows across multiple products, ensuring timely, accurate, and compliant case resolution through automated and hybrid workflows.
• Optimize Tooling & Vendor Performance: Deliver on operational strategy initiatives, including optimizing case management systems, integrating AI copilots, and managing BPO vendor performance.
• Root Cause Analysis: Perform root cause analysis when process breakdowns or quality issues occur; implement quick workarounds while owning the path to permanent, automated fixes.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Product, Compliance, and Engineering to understand upcoming product launches, design automated workflows, and assess downstream impacts.
• Stakeholder Communication: Communicate operational plans, AI performance metrics, and strategic decisions clearly to internal stakeholders and executive leadership.

• Expertise in AI & Automation: Demonstrated ability to hands-on deploy AI tools—including LLMs, prompt engineering, workflow automation, or advanced analytics platforms—to identify process gaps, eliminate manual effort, and drive measurable efficiency.
• An Owner’s Mentality: You move fast, take accountability, and drive complex technical and operational projects to completion.
• Analytical Instincts: Strong problem-solving skills, exceptional attention to detail, and a data-driven approach to tracking operational KPIs.
• High Integrity: Demonstrated ability to handle sensitive customer and financial information with extreme care and confidentiality.

• Regulatory Knowledge: Solid understanding of Regulation E and Regulation Z requirements, Mastercard network rules, and the standard dispute/chargeback lifecycle.
• Fintech Background: Experience working in fast-paced fintech or neobank environments.

• Highlight any experience with fintech dispute resolution platforms (e.g., Stripe Radar, PayPal Dispute Manager) and be ready to demo a short walkthrough of how you reduced chargeback rates by X% using data‑driven rules in a remote setting.
• Build a one‑page “Dispute Ops KPI Dashboard” using Tableau or Power BI that showcases metrics you’ve tracked (e.g., average dispute resolution time, win‑rate, fraud loss) and attach it to your application; interviewers will ask you to explain the data pipeline (SQL → ETL → visual) on the spot.
• In your cover letter, reference OnePay’s embedded financial‑services model and give a concrete example of how you’d partner with product or engineering teams (via JIRA/Confluence) to design a new dispute‑handling workflow for gig‑platform payouts, emphasizing cross‑functional communication and remote collaboration tools (Slack, Zoom, Asana).
• Prepare a “case study” of a past strategy project where you identified a process bottleneck, ran A/B tests, and presented recommendations that saved $X or improved turnaround time; bring a PDF or Google Slides link and be prepared to discuss the hypothesis‑testing framework you used.
• When discussing compensation, research OnePay’s equity grants for remote roles (typically RSUs tied to performance milestones) and frame your ask around total‑compensation targets that reflect both base salary and the potential upside from OnePay’s rapid growth and Walmart backing.
