Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Bestow is a leading vertical technology platform serving some of the largest and most innovative life insurers. The Payments Product Analyst role involves owning the investigation lifecycle, connecting data and context, and producing intelligence artifacts to drive revenue and operational efficiency.
Responsibilities
- Own the investigation lifecycle. Take a signal (high NSF rate, reconciliation gap, auth rate drop) from definition through root-cause analysis to a written recommendation, coordinating with analytics, revenue, and support teams along the way
- Connect data and context. Frame the right questions with our analytics team, then connect with qualitative context from revenue and support that data alone won't surface. Work directly with carrier partner teams to understand the full picture
- Go deep on every opportunity. Independently analyze each opportunity’s revenue impact, root cause, urgency. Use AI tooling and your own judgment to move quickly without sacrificing quality
- Produce intelligence artifacts. Your output is a document covering the problem, why it's happening, what we should do, and what it's worth
- Partner with the product team. Translate your findings into clearly prioritized opportunities so product managers can act on them. Help maintain and shape the opportunity backlog
Skills
- Payments-fluent. You know what an ACH return code means, why a reconciliation breaks, how retry logic works, and what a chargeback lifecycle looks like
- Investigative by nature. You dig into discrepancies and trace issues across complex, multi-party payment flows. Messy data doesn't scare you
- A clear communicator. You're comfortable owning external relationships with partner's finance teams and coordinating across internal stakeholders
- Process-minded. You see manual work and immediately think about how to systematize and document it. You turn fragmented data into executive-ready views
- Experienced. You bring 3+ years in payment analysis, payment operations, or financial reconciliation ideally at a payments company, SaaS platform, or fintech
- Self-directed. You thrive with ownership and autonomy. You can manage multiple workstreams simultaneously, from daily reconciliation tasks to longer-term optimization projects, without waiting to be told what's next
