Payments & Cash Management — Operations Business Liaison

Payments & Cash Management — Operations Business Liaison

Edinburgh, Glasgow, United Kingdom | Posted on 08/12/2026

Instant payments went live across the euro area. ISO
20022 replaced the old messaging. Every corporate bank now needs

German-speaking people who can keep real-time payments clean under pressure —that's you.

We represent a range of corporate and institutional transaction-banking employers building out their payments operations right now, driven by the EUInstant Payments mandate and the market-wide move to ISO 20022. We're buildinga shortlist of senior payment-operations professionals who can sit between the payment engine and the business — and we place them across onshore DACH, UK operations hubs,
and the nearshore centres (Poland, Portugal) where these banks run their payments operations.

What you'd own....

• The operational point ofcontact between payment processing and the business — relationship managers, product, and corporate clients — keeping communication accurate and calm when a high-value payment stalls.
• Payment investigations and exception management across SEPA / SCT Inst, TARGET2 andcross-border rails, driven to resolution.
• Nostro reconciliation and end-to-end tracking with modern payment-traceability capability.
• The sanctions /transaction-screening interface, so control and client experience move together.
• Real-time exception and Verification-of-Payee handling on live instant rails, and the operational side of the ISO
  20022 (MX) transition.

What makes you a fit....

• Fluent German and English — used daily across German-speaking clients and colleagues.
• Corporate or wholesale payment operations grounding in a bank or transaction-banking function.
• Practical fluency across SEPA, TARGET2 and SWIFT in both MT and MX (ISO 20022).
• A control mindset with genuine client-facing confidence.

Why talk to us (not just one employer)

• We work with several banks and delivery partners in this space — one confidential conversation, multiple environments, onshore or nearshore.
• The demand is datedand real (instant-payments and ISO 20022 deadlines), so moves happen fast.

Applications welcome from all backgrounds.
