Join us as Lead Banking Operations, Cards to keep card disputes and card fraud under control across Qonto’s European markets. You’ll lead a team of 7 people and run the full chargeback chain.

01➡️ What you’ll do
Lead and grow your team: Coach the team of 7 and put cross-training and backup rotations in place.
Own card disputes end to end: Resolve fraud, commercial and ATM disputes and Mastercard chargebacks within Mastercard and PSD2 rules and make the call on complex cases.
Keep SLAs and backlog under control: Own the KPIs, forecast workload from live data and absorb spikes and absences by reprioritising.
Scale with BPO, automation and AI: Decide what moves to our BPO partner, to automation or to AI-assisted analysis and what stays with the team, then measure the result.
Cross-team collaboration: Align with Customer Care, AML & Fraud, Risk & Compliance, Product and Ops Engineering to get the team what it needs.
02➡️ What we’re looking for
People leadership: You’ve led an operational team through volume peaks and absences while keeping SLAs on track.
Performance and forecasting: You’ve owned KPIs and SLAs and planned capacity.

AI-native workflow: You use AI tools daily and enjoy working with engineers to automate how operations run.
Languages: You’re fluent in French and English.
03➡️ What we can offer you
The whole chargeback chain in-house: Since our move to our own card processor and direct link with Mastercard, you run it from first to second presentment.
Automation: AI dispute analysis, automatic alerts and bots are live, and you inherit the roadmap to take them further.
Real impact: Your decisions on fraud and chargebacks directly affect Qonto’s losses and customer trust.
A team ready to grow: You’ll lead a diverse team of analysts.
04➡️ Your future manager
You will report to, Justine, Head of Banking Operations Payments, who leads the team responsible for ensuring smooth and secure payment operations across all Qonto markets.
