The Opportunity
Flywire is seeking a strategic and execution-oriented Payments Director, Cards & APMs to spearhead our global acquiring partnerships and Alternative Payment Method (APM) expansion. As the face of Flywire to our global acquirers, you will act as a bridge between market-leading payment providers and our internal stakeholders.
You will solve complex, large-scale payment challenges by deepening our embedded payments value proposition across multiple business models. Reporting to the VP, Payments Network (Cards & APMs), you will play a pivotal role in ensuring Flywire remains at the forefront of global payment innovation.
Key Responsibilities
Who You Are 🚀
💳 A seasoned payments expert with a deep understanding of the global card ecosystem and APM landscape. Experience managing global card-acquiring partnerships for high-volume merchants ($1B+ GTV) is highly preferred.
🧠 A strategic thinker who understands the nuances and tradeoffs balancing authorization rates, tokenization, 3DS strategies, and payment costs. Deep technical knowledge of 3DS 2.0, Network Tokenization, and strategies for reducing Interchange/Scheme fees is essential.
🔍 A payments specialist who is equally excited to present our payments strategy to executives as you are to dig into a transaction to understand why it’s not processing as expected.
📊 Analytically minded, using data to drive recommendations for cost optimization and performance improvements.
🌍 Strong familiarity with local payment methods such as iDEAL, Klarna, PayPal, bank transfers, wallets, and regional preferences.
📢 A master communicator capable of representing Flywire to external partners and translating complex technical needs for internal teams.
🛠️ A proactive problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced environment—whether your background is in Merchant-side, PSP, or a technical Account Management role.
