Chargebacks & Payment Disputes Team Manager

You will lead and develop Payoneer's global Chargebacks & Payment Disputes team, spanning three hubs and multiple time zones, serving as the company's center of expertise for managing payment reversals, disputes, and recovery across card payments, ACH debit, and other payment methods.
