What do we do?

Paddle offers SaaS companies a completely different approach to their payment infrastructure. Instead of assembling and maintaining a complex stack of payments-related apps and services, we’re a Merchant of Record for our customers. That means we take away 100% of the pain of payment fragmentation. It’s faster, safer, cheaper, and, above all, way better.

We’re backed by investors including KKR, FTV Capital, Kindred, Notion, and 83North and serve over 3000 software sellers in 245 territories globally.

The core of your role will be to build tools and iterate on processes across various teams, including making data accessible and easy to understand so that we can make informed decisions. You’ll also have plenty of opportunities to refine our data, seek out new data sources and implement solutions to enhance the insights we’re able to gain from our analysis.

• Analyse complex data sets to extract actionable insights, develop dashboards and reporting tools for real-time business performance and market trends analysis, and support data-driven decision-making.

• Foster a culture of continuous improvement by encouraging innovation, experimentation, and learning within the Operations team.

We'd love to hear from you:
