Job Title: Chargeback Analyst

Location: Nigeria (Remote)

What is the scope of your Responsibilities?

• As a member of the Chargeback Operations team, you’ll play a central role in ensuring quick and accurate responses to banks and other payment processing partners who contact us about disputed payments. 
• You’ll protect Paystack against financial loss by following clearly defined workflows that comply with the requirements of our financial partners, including card networks and Central Banks in the countries where we operate.
• You’ll collaborate with the Developer Relations and Revenue teams to advise merchants on how best to structure their products and consistently deliver value, while also guiding them on how to leverage Paystack tools—such as webhooks and the Disputes API—to streamline dispute resolution. Additionally, you’ll educate merchants through our Help Center documentation, webinars, and one-on-one sessions, helping them compile high-quality evidence that meets the criteria of financial partners when contesting disputes.
• If you thrive on ensuring seamless dispute management processes and are eager to help our merchants reduce losses from chargebacks, we’d love for you to join our team.
• This is a remote-friendly, full-time role, reporting directly to the Customer Success Manager for Dispute Operations. This role is only available to candidates located in Ghana, Nigeria or South Africa.

We'll trust you to:

• Oversee chargeback requests with precision: Collaborate closely with frontline agents to ensure that all chargeback requests are accurately processed and resolved within our set SLA.
• Provide responsive chargeback support: Offer timely assistance to partners and stakeholders via email, phone, or other preferred channels, serving as a knowledgeable point of contact for any chargeback-related inquiries.
• Manage refunds end-to-end: Coordinate and oversee the entire refund process—from initiation to completion—ensuring that all refunds are properly executed.
• Address escalated issues and queries: Efficiently review and handle requests escalated by other Paystack teams, making sure all disputes are resolved in a prompt and thorough manner.
• Enhance tools and processes: Work alongside Product and Engineering teams to refine internal tools and improve chargeback resolution features on the Merchant Dashboard, continually optimizing our dispute-handling capabilities.
• Leverage data analytics to monitor trends: Utilize tools such as Excel, Google Sheets, Metabase, Tableau, and SQL to analyze chargeback data, identify emerging patterns, and share actionable insights. Where chargeback rates are high, recommend strategies to mitigate and reduce them.
• Maintain strict compliance: Ensure adherence to all relevant industry standards, regulations, and partner-specific guidelines to protect the integrity of our operations.
• Educate and empower merchants: Guide merchants and partners on best practices for dispute management, including training on available tools that enhance the overall dispute experience.
• Act as a Paystack ambassador: Represent the company at both Paystack-hosted and external events.
