Why We Exist At Raylo, we're on a mission to accelerate the move to a circular economy. The only way customers and manufacturers will make that shift is if it's simple and cost-effective - this is where we come in. We're building a category defining global subscription infrastructure, making premium tech accessible and affordable for both consumers and businesses. With over 180,000 subscribers in the UK and growth accelerating - we've proven the demand for a smarter, more sustainable way to access technology. Raylo is a fast growing and profitable company, backed by global investors including Macquarie, NatWest, and Channel 4 Ventures. We are proud to have been selected for Endeavor's network in 2024, underscoring our role as a high impact, mission driven business with global ambitions. And in 2025 we were recognised as part of Tech Nation's UK's Future Fifty programme. We have been B Corp certified since 2021 and were recently acknowledged by S&P Global for the positive impact of our circular business model via a Green Financing with NatWest. At Raylo, performance matters. We set ambitious goals, move fast, and hold ourselves to a high standard, because our mission is too important to settle for less. Our Core Values Be deeply curious - We thrive on innovation through diverse approaches, views, and people. Walk in your customer's shoes - To build the best products and make the best decisions for the long term, we must figure out what our customers need, not just what they want. Focus and execute - We have a big vision, but we believe in nailing the most important problems first. Be gritty - Only gritty teams succeed. Our individual ownership, passion, and perseverance mean we're a team through thick and thin. What to Expect As a Revenue Strategy and Operations Manager, you'll be at the centre of our operational engine, driving strategic initiatives that directly impact our business performance and customer experience. You'll have particular ownership of our revenue and billing systems, managing monthly processing, whilst also supporting initiatives across the supply chain and customer experience. You'll work cross functionally with internal teams and external partners to optimise revenue and billing performance, reduce friction, and build scalable processes that support our rapid growth. This includes managing complex vendor relationships, improving payment systems, and navigating business and regulatory requirements. You'll have the autonomy to shape how we operate, using data and insight to drive decisions that matter. Your work will directly influence operational efficiency, customer satisfaction, and financial performance, all whilst supporting Raylo's circular and sustainable business model. What You'll Do Lead end to end strategic and operational projects across revenue & billing - delivering measurable impact on performance and costs. Own revenue and billing operations strategy - optimising payment processes, improving internal process management, reducing manual workarounds, and partnering with cross functional stakeholders on vendor performance and regulatory compliance. Build and own performance dashboards and reporting that give the business clear visibility on revenue and billing metrics, payment performance, and operational health. Manage critical vendor relationships - monitoring performance against SLAs, driving accountability, and finding pragmatic solutions for critical processes. Analyse operational data to surface insights, identify risks and bottlenecks, and develop recommendations that drive step change improvements across the business. Develop business cases for new initiatives (including process automation and new tooling), quantifying investment requirements, expected ROI, and implementation roadmaps. Design, test, and implement new processes, automation, and tools that embed best practices-balancing short term operational fixes with longer term strategic solutions. Oversee onboarding of new partners, products, and operational capabilities - ensuring seamless integration and long term scalability. Drive cross functional alignment between Strategy, Product, Finance, and Customer Ops-connecting Operations Strategy projects into broader business goals. Coach and develop junior team members, building analytical rigour and problem solving capability across the operations function. You'll Succeed With 3-5 years' experience in operations, spanning areas such as revenue strategy, billing, payments, or process improvement - ideally in fast paced environments like fintech, payments platforms, tech enabled lending, consumer electronics, or FMCG. Strong analytical and technical skills - you're proficient in Excel or SQL, and comfortable using BI tools like Looker, Tableau, or similar to extract insights and drive decisions. Degree level education in a STEM or analytical field - e.g., Engineering, Maths, Economics, Data Science, or similar. Experience managing vendor relationships - holding partners accountable to SLAs, navigating technical constraints, and finding pragmatic workarounds for financial services systems. Experience building business cases - you can quantify problems, model scenarios, and present compelling recommendations that secure stakeholder buy in. Understanding of payment systems, collections processes, or billing operations - including regulatory requirements and direct debit management. Proven ability to manage complexity - whether coordinating across multiple partners, navigating cross functional priorities, or balancing competing operational demands. Commercial acumen - you understand the P&L impact of operational decisions and can optimise for cost, efficiency, and customer experience simultaneously. A self starter with strong ownership - you identify problems before they escalate, run with ambiguity, and iterate quickly, balancing firefighting with strategic improvements.

Associate Technical Account Manager (London-based: 3 days in office) Our Mission We're not your average benefits platform - we're the driving force that uplifts people's lives. Our technology connects the entire benefits ecosystem, creating better outcomes for employers, employees, brokers, and providers. Our mission is clear: to build a world where everything works at its best, ensuring every employee gets the support they need to thrive-both at work and beyond. Your Mission As an Associate Technical Account Manager at Ben, you'll be the person our customers rely on when things get technical.

Curiosity about the product and the customer's world: you want to understand how benefits work, want to deep dive into technical configuration issues, and work hard to help make admin users' lives easier. Nice to have: Experience in benefits, HR tech, payroll, or a related space: very useful context, but we can teach domain knowledge to the right person.
