About this role

At Affirm, we exist for the moments that matter—giving people a clear, predictable way to pay over time, with no hidden fees, no surprises, and no tradeoffs on what matters most. About The Operations Team The Operations team delivers seamless customer experiences and enables new product capabilities while ensuring operational excellence. The team owns strategy, planning, technical execution, customer service, fraud operations, process design, quality, training, and program management.

We drive efficiency, resolve issues quickly, and scale operations as the business grows. Our goal is to deliver seamless support while maintaining high standards and reducing risk. About The Role Affirm is building a de novo bank, and this role will help establish and scale its operating foundation. You will own the Finxact core and digital banking experience platforms, lead deposit and lending operations strategy, and partner with servicing teams to build resilient, well-controlled processes that deliver transparent, reliable financial products.

What You’ll Do Own the implementation, configuration, and ongoing administration of Finxact as the Bank’s core system of record, including product structures, rates and fees, transaction and posting rules, account parameters, general-ledger mappings, user entitlements, environments, and controlled production changes. Own the operational delivery and ongoing management of Savana and the Bank’s integrated digital account-opening, online and mobile banking experiences.

Translate customer and operational needs into requirements; lead user-acceptance testing, release readiness, issue resolution, and continuous platform improvement. Lead operational launch readiness, including operating-model design, procedures, roles and responsibilities, staffing and training, end-to-end testing, mock processing days, cutover, go/no-go evidence, hypercare, and the transition to stable business-as-usual operations.

Direct daily deposit operations, including balancing Federal Reserve activity to the Finxact ledger; reconciling new-account funding; approving outbound ACH and wire files under dual control; managing inclearing, returns, and exceptions; reviewing failed account boarding; monitoring zero-balance account aging; and overseeing dormancy, escheatment, account maintenance, holds, statements, transaction research, error investigations, dispute resolution, regulatory reporting, and fraud-investigation support.
