The Merchant Experience Operations team is dedicated to delivering exceptional service and scalable solutions for our merchant partners. Within this organization, the Finance & Workforce Management (WFM) function plays a critical role in ensuring our headcount plans, budgets, and vendor investments align with operational needs and business priorities. We serve as the connective tissue between operations, finance, and workforce strategy, helping drive sustainable growth and cost discipline.

About the Role

As a Project Manager on the Finance & WFM team, you will drive execution of key tactical projects that enable operational rigor, data consistency, and better planning across the Merchant Experience organization. You’ll support a range of technical and cross-functional initiatives, including workforce tooling, merchant mapping, SFDC data management, and reporting automation.

You’ll work closely with the Senior Manager of Finance & WFM and partner with Workforce Management, Strategy & Operations, Vendor Ops, and Product teams to ensure we’re scaling systems and processes that support service quality and cost efficiency. This role is ideal for a detail-oriented, technically fluent operator who thrives in ambiguity and wants to make systems work better.
