Aurora Payments is a financial technology company providing payment processing and business management solutions to merchants, software platforms, and small and midsize businesses across the United States.
The company offers a broad range of services, including credit and debit card processing, online payments, point-of-sale technology, embedded payment solutions, and merchant relationship management tools.
Through its technology platforms, Aurora helps businesses manage transactions, improve payment workflows, and develop additional revenue opportunities. Its business is built around payment infrastructure, merchant services, and long-term partnerships with software providers and independent sales organizations.
As the payments industry becomes increasingly competitive, financial planning and revenue management play an important role in maintaining margins, improving operating performance, and supporting the company's continued expansion.
The Opportunity
We're looking for a VP of Revenue Finance to work closely with executive leadership and the finance organization on the financial performance of Aurora's payment business.
This role will focus on understanding where revenue comes from, how different payment channels perform, and what drives profitability across the company's merchant and technology partnerships.
You'll work with finance, sales, operations, and commercial leadership to improve financial forecasting, evaluate revenue opportunities, and provide a clearer picture of business performance.
We're looking for someone who understands the economics of payment processing. Transaction volume alone doesn't tell the whole story. Processing costs, pricing arrangements, partner revenue sharing, merchant retention, and operating expenses all influence the financial results.
What You'll Be Doing
You'll oversee revenue financial planning and analysis, working with internal teams to develop forecasts, review actual results, and understand changes in revenue and operating margins.
You'll evaluate transaction processing revenue, merchant account performance, pricing structures, processing expenses, and partner agreements to identify opportunities for stronger financial performance.
Working with sales and business development leadership, you'll assess the financial impact of new merchant relationships, software partnerships, and embedded payment opportunities.
You'll also lead financial modeling for new products and commercial initiatives, helping management understand expected revenue, implementation costs, and potential profitability.
An important part of the role will involve reviewing partner compensation structures, revenue-sharing arrangements, customer acquisition costs, and merchant retention trends.
You'll coordinate with accounting and finance leadership to improve revenue reporting, financial controls, forecasting accuracy, and management reporting.
You'll regularly present financial findings to executive leadership and provide recommendations on pricing, business expansion, resource allocation, and revenue performance.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone with 15 to 20 years of professional experience in corporate finance, financial planning and analysis, revenue finance, or financial leadership.
Candidates should have 8 to 12 years of management experience, including responsibility for finance teams, financial planning functions, or commercial financial operations.
You should have a strong understanding of revenue forecasting, financial modeling, budgeting, profitability analysis, and operating performance.
Experience in payment processing, merchant services, fintech, banking, or software-based financial services would be particularly valuable.
A practical understanding of interchange costs, payment processing fees, merchant pricing, revenue-sharing agreements, and transaction economics is highly desirable.
You should be comfortable working with large financial datasets, advanced Excel, SQL, financial reporting platforms, and business intelligence tools.
We're looking for someone who can communicate financial information clearly, work directly with senior executives, and translate financial analysis into decisions that improve business performance.
A bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or Business Administration is preferred. An MBA, CPA, or CFA qualification would be an advantage.
