Job Description

Shape how sophisticated clients launch and scale critical payment capabilities. You will own high-impact onboarding and service-readiness work that helps clients transact smoothly from day one. Working across partners in product, operations, and technology, you'll turn complex requirements into clear plans and reliable outcomes. You'll grow your influence through ownership of challenging engagements and visible client results. If you enjoy problem-solving, partnership, and precision, we'd like to meet you.

As an Associate in the APAC Global Client Service+ team, you own multiple complex onboarding and service-readiness engagements, helping clients achieve transaction readiness through go-live and stabilization. You work directly with clients and internal partners to scope solutions, coordinate testing and operational due diligence, and support a controlled transition into live processing. You anticipate friction points, surface risks early, and translate requirements into practical actions that keep delivery on track. You operate with independent ownership, sound judgment, and the ability to influence across functions, locations, and seniority levels.

You'll join a team that supports priority clients through onboarding, go-live, and early-life service for complex payment solutions across Asia Pacific (APAC). We bring together client, operational, and product perspectives to strengthen readiness, reduce avoidable issues, and improve the end-to-end experience. You will collaborate with peers across regions while owning outcomes for your client portfolio.
