We are looking for a highly analytical and detail-oriented person to join our growing team in Ebene, Mauritius. Reporting to the Manager of Interchange and Automation Unit, you will be the analytical backbone of our commercial performance, executing the data workflows that ensure our global sales teams are incentivized correctly and our revenue insights are flawless.

At Checkout.com, "high performance is a science, not an accident." In this role, you will be fully involved in Interchange definition, set up and investigation. You should be a problem-solver who loves digging into the numbers to find the truth and ensure that we are operating in the most accurate way possible.

What you will be doing

• Support the development and maintenance of interchange fee models by translating scheme rules and business requirements into clear mapping and configuration inputs.

• Execute reconciliations and analytical checks to validate data accuracy, identify variances, and support root-cause investigations.

• Investigate operational issues across fee calculations, invoices, transaction data, and reporting, escalating material or complex issues with a clear analysis of the problem and recommended next steps.

• Contribute to the implementation of scheme mandates and fee changes by coordinating inputs, tracking actions, and supporting timely and accurate deployment.

• Maintain and improve recurring data workflows, controls, and documentation, identifying opportunities to reduce manual effort and improve process reliability.

• Produce regular management reporting and data visualisations, adapting the analysis and level of detail to the needs of different audiences.

• Support testing and validation of automation, configuration, and data changes before they are introduced into operational processes.

• Contribute to cross-functional projects that improve Cost of Sales operations, reconciliation, data quality, and operational efficiency.

• Build knowledge of interchange operations and become a dependable point of contact for defined processes and recurring investigations.

About you

• Experience: You have 2–4 years of experience in Data Analytics, Revenue or Sales Operations, Finance, Cost of Sales, or a similarly analytical role in a fast-paced environment.

• Quantitative foundation: You have a qualification in Accounting, Mathematics, Economics, Finance, or another quantitative discipline, or equivalent practical experience.

• Analytical problem-solving: You can work through large or imperfect datasets, identify anomalies, and explain the likely drivers of a variance clearly.

• Technical capability: You are confident using Google Sheets or Excel, including complex formulas, data manipulation, and analysis. Experience with SQL, data visualisation, workflow tools, or automation is a plus.

• Payments knowledge: You have an interest in payments, card schemes, or financial operations. Familiarity with Visa or Mastercard interchange and fee rules is helpful but not essential.

• Delivery mindset: You are organised, dependable, and able to manage recurring operational tasks while progressing improvement work.

• Stakeholder collaboration: You communicate clearly, ask effective questions, and work constructively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Attention to detail: You take pride in accurate outputs and understand the importance of controls, documentation, and evidence in financial operations.
