AI Fluency Level 3: in this role that means going beyond using AI for your own productivity. You would redesign how first-line operations actually run (how the TPSP register is kept current, how vendor performance is assessed, how support and complaints are triaged), build those AI-assisted approaches into something the rest of Mews FS can follow, and rigorously check what the AI produces before it informs a register, a Board pack or a regulatory submission, where the accuracy bar is absolute.

For more information on AI fluency at Mews, please refer to "AI Fluency at Mews: A Comprehensive Guide for Candidates" on Confluence.

2 - 4 years in consulting, banking, strategy, business analysis or a similar field, ideally in SaaS, fintech or payments

Proven experience driving or supporting multi-stakeholder initiatives such as migrations, rollouts or process and operating-model changes

Strong quantitative and communication skills, comfortable with data, business cases and financial models

Ability to influence without authority and build relationships across Finance, R&D, Operations, Compliance, Legal and GTM

High tolerance for ambiguity, strong ownership and follow-through, keeping work moving even when things change

You use AI as a real part of your workflow, not as a novelty

Knowledge of payments or fintech value chains, pricing or unit economics

Familiarity with tools like Jira, Confluence and Slack

We’re an equal opportunities employer. We value teams that reflect the diversity of the customers and communities we serve. Different perspectives make better ideas, stronger products and a more welcoming company.

We also believe transparency is important when deciding if you're the right fit. Mews is an ambitious, high-pressure environment of continuous learning and high standards. Success here requires resilience, adaptability and a willingness to solve difficult problems.

A few things that define how we work:

High autonomy means high responsibility. People are expected to take ownership and drive outcomes. There isn’t a detailed playbook for everything, and that’s part of what makes the work challenging – and rewarding.

Change is constant. We’re growing quickly and adapting as we scale. Teams, processes and priorities continue to evolve, and only people who stay curious and agile will thrive.

We’re remote-first, not relationship-free. Flexibility is core to how we work, but strong relationships still matter. Our teams are global, so we need expert collaborators and communicators to help us move forward together.

AI is an integral part of our processes. It’s not here to steal people’s jobs, but to amplify efficiency and productivity. We’re motivated to proactively use the technology to seek out better ways of working and share our findings with the rest of the company.

If there's anything we can do to support you during the application process, let us know.

We don't discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability or any other protected characteristic.

One final thing: don't hold back. If you don't meet 100% of the criteria in this job description but you're certain you could make a big impact, apply. Everyone should have equal access to opportunities, and we're committed to providing an inclusive experience.

If Mews sounds like the kind of environment where you'd thrive, we'd love to hear from you.
