## Job Description

## What you’ll be doing

- Investigate payment failure patterns by institution, response code, and payment method — forming hypotheses, validating them in data, and driving remediations with Engineering, Product and Operations
- Evaluate payment routing and collection strategies and size the impact of new configurations or vendor capabilities
- Assess retry logic for cost and member experience implications and recommend smarter approaches
- Build and refine alerting to detect payment anomalies quickly — unusual return rate spikes, processing failures, or unexpected changes in transaction behavior
- Collaborate with Data Science to support the deployment and ongoing evaluation of predictive models that inform collection timing and payment decisions
- Build monitoring dashboards to track model performance post-launch and surface when adjustments are needed

- Strong working knowledge of ACH, card networks, and payment processing mechanics — including return codes, retry logic, and settlement timing
- Experience partnering with or supporting Data Science teams — you can evaluate model outputs, understand their limitations, and translate them into business decisions
- Sharp investigative instincts — you can spot an anomaly in payment data, form a hypothesis, and see it through to resolution
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment where ownership is expected and priorities evolve
- Familiarity with NACHA return rate requirements, AML, or other fintech compliance standards is a plus
