Senior Cost Analyst
About us
At myPOS, we are combining technology with imagination and expertise to provide an integrated payment solution for small and medium businesses built on innovation, freedom, flexibility and opportunities for growth.
About the Role
Understanding our business’s costs, and in turn unprofitability, at a per customer level is key to setting business strategy appropriately. One of the largest and most complex costs our business incurs is the set of fees the payment schemes such as Visa and Mastercard charge us. These fees are charged on a variety of timescales (from daily to annual) in multiple currencies and collected via multiple methods. Understanding and reconciling these costs is vital to understanding the true profitability of each customer’s business with us.
If you demonstrate an enquiring mind, an ability to interrogate data and build models, a talent for creating structure and clarity, we would love to hear from you.
