PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
We’re hiring an experienced Disputes & Chargebacks Team Lead to own and optimize our chargeback/dispute operations across multiple payment processors. You will manage day-to-day case strategy, improve SOPs, lead a small team, and drive measurable improvements in win rate and dispute ratio.
You’ll be responsible for keeping our payment operations healthy, reducing financial loss, and building repeatable systems that scale.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
1) Disputes Execution & Strategy
Handle chargebacks/disputes end-to-end across Stripe, PayPal, Shopify Payments (and other processors when needed)
Build strong evidence packages: order proof, tracking proof, customer communication logs, product pages, policies, IP/device data (when available), etc.
Ensure on-time submissions and compliance with each processor’s timelines and rules
Write high-quality rebuttals and structured dispute responses that improve win rates
2) Process & SOP Ownership
Build and maintain private SOPs per processor (Stripe vs PayPal vs Shopify Payments rules differ)
Create playbooks by dispute reason code (fraud, not received, not as described, refund not processed, etc.)
Implement standard templates, tagging rules, escalation flows, and evidence checklists
3) Analytics & Performance Management
Produce weekly reporting: win rate, dispute ratio, top dispute reasons, loss drivers, recurring patterns
Identify root causes (shipping delays, unclear product expectations, policy gaps, CX quality issues) and coordinate fixes with the CX/Operations team
Continuously improve KPIs and prevent repeat dispute patterns
4) Team Leadership (Hands-on)
Hire support/disputes agents (Philippines preferred) and train them
Run quality control: audit cases, correct mistakes, coach agents, and enforce SOP compliance
Create training materials and ensure consistent dispute handling at scale

Shopify admin knowledge (order timelines, fulfillment, policies, customer notes, tags)
Experience improving dispute ratio through operational improvements (shipping, policy clarity, CX scripts)
Prior team lead or manager experience in dispute/risk ops
