We're an AI-powered, creator-first platform helping creators connect, engage, and earn directly from their audiences at scale. Following our recent Series A, Fanvue has surpassed $100M+ in annual recurring revenue, with triple-digit year-on-year growth, supporting hundreds of thousands of creators and millions of fans worldwide.
Business Operations keeps money moving correctly, keeps the platform safe, and keeps us on the right side of our banking, payment and regulatory relationships. It covers payments and payout infrastructure, treasury, verification and KYC, fraud and risk, Trust and Safety, compliance, and the data work underneath all of it. Most of that surface is currently held by a small number of very senior people. This role exists to work alongside them across all of it.
 
🎯 The Role
 
We're hiring an Operations Manager to sit at the centre of Business Operations, reporting to our Chief Business Operations Officer and working closely with our Senior Operations Manager.
This is deliberately a broad role, and we want to be straight about what that means. You will not have one fixed remit. You will be pointed at whatever the most important operational problem is that week, and expected to pick it up, work out what is actually going on, and drive it to a conclusion. Some weeks that is building out system flows. Some weeks it is a number that does not reconcile, a live incident, or a compliance pack that has to be right by end of day.
You will be taught directly by the CBOO, not handed a wiki. You will have data warehouse and provider system access from your first week. Success in month one is not output, it is that you understand how money moves through the business and have started closing things out without being chased.
You will start broad and stay broad for a while. Over time we will shape your work towards whichever areas suit you, with the intent that you eventually own one properly, with a remit and in time a team.
 
🚀 What You'll Do
Take on whatever is most urgent: ambiguous, half-understood problems that need the facts established and the loop closed

Run the operational side of our payment, payout, verification and risk provider relationships, from stuck tickets to due diligence packs

Reconcile what our providers say happened against what our systems say happened, and chase down every difference until it is explained

Investigate risk and fraud alongside the fraud team, and propose the controls that close the gaps

Support live incidents involving money or user safety, running the analysis and owning the follow-up

Write it all down: runbooks, process docs, control documentation, post-incident reviews

 
 
👀 Who You Are
Someone who moves on their own initiative. When you hit a wall, your instinct is to find the way round it rather than report it

Someone who finishes things reliably, without being chased, including the boring parts

Comfortable with numbers. You can pull data, check it against a second source, and notice when something does not add up

A clear writer. Muddled writing usually means muddled thinking

Intellectually honest. You separate what you have verified from what you are assuming, and say when you do not know

Someone who gets more careful under pressure, not less

Someone who wants direct, frequent feedback

Roughly 1 to 3 years in anything that demanded accuracy and independent thinking: operations, finance, consulting, analytics, support, or a startup where you did a bit of everything

Fintech or payments operations exposure is a strong plus. You do not need payments, KYC or compliance experience, management experience despite the title, or SQL on day one

Unconventional career paths welcome, if you can explain why yours prepared you for this

 
 
✨ You'll Thrive Here If
You want unusual range and exposure early in your career

You get more organised when things get busy

You would rather be trusted with something difficult than given something safe

You like closing loops and seeing problems actually end

 
 
⚠️ You'll Struggle Here If
You want a clearly bounded remit and a predictable week

You need to be told what to work on next

You are comfortable leaving loose ends for someone else

You want the title to come with a team on day one
