Supercell is building the best direct-to-player commerce platform in gaming. The Supercell Store gives players across all of our games a new way to interact with us directly. Behind it sits a fast-growing payments operation that’s already processing payments at a global scale.

We're looking for a Payments Manager to own and grow our external payment partner ecosystem. You'll manage the commercial relationships, negotiations, and strategic roadmap across all of the payment vendors and partners that power this platform. This covers global processors to regional payment methods to gift cards and distribution partners.

This is a hands-on, commercially important role. You'll negotiate deals, improve economics, expand into new markets and payment methods, manage fraud performance, and drive co-marketing opportunities, all while coordinating closely with engineering, finance, legal, and game teams. You won't be setting high-level corporate strategy from a slide deck. You'll be in the details, iterating on payments function day to day, and building the partnerships that let us serve players better in every market we're in.

What You'll Be Doing

Own our payment partner relationships

Be the primary point of contact for all payment vendors and commercial service providers
Maintain joint roadmaps with each partner and push them on feature development, operational improvements, and performance
Proactively identify, develop, and grow new payment partnerships. Size opportunities, assess strategic fit, and drive to a recommendation
Assess partnership performance through measurable KPIs, conduct post-mortems on key initiatives, and recommend improvements
Keep clear, current documentation so that internal stakeholders always know where things stand

Drive commercial outcomes

Own commercial negotiations across all payment partners: processing rates, FX terms, and contract renewals
Continuously improve economics: at our scale, basis points matter
Evaluate new commercial models
Assess new processor and distribution opportunities as they arise

Expand payment coverage globally

Identify and launch high-impact local payment methods in key regions
Support new purchasing models
Negotiate and drive co-marketing and joint activation opportunities with payment partners to support player acquisition, engagement, and monetization
Be the team's expert on the local payments landscape: market trends, emerging methods, regulatory changes, and player behavior

Manage fraud and risk performance

Track fraud, chargeback, and acceptance metrics across all processors
Balance fraud prevention with payment acceptance and help define and tune fraud rules with each partner, understanding their different approaches and capabilities

Coordinate across teams

Work closely with our payments engineering team day to day
Partner with finance and accounting on deal structure and the financial implications of different payment models
Collaborate with legal on compliance, contracting, and new market requirements
Drive payment initiatives to a clear recommendation, ensure alignment across internal teams on feasibility, commercial terms, and execution readiness, and manage execution day to day

What You Have

Deep experience in e-commerce payments, payment operations, or on the provider/processor side: you understand the payments value chain end to end
A proven track record negotiating commercial terms with payment vendors: rates, FX, fraud rules, and partnership structures
Experience managing a portfolio of external partners and holding them accountable to roadmaps and KPIs
Strong understanding of payments infrastructure: processors, fraud systems, payment methods, MOR vs. reseller models. You don't need to write code, but you need to understand what's technically feasible
Comfort with fraud and risk concepts, the ability to understand the tradeoffs and ask the right questions
Operational discipline and extreme attention to detail. There's a lot to track across partners, contracts, metrics, and compliance requirements
The ability to work cross-functionally with engineering, finance, legal, and game teams who all have different priorities and styles
Proven ability to manage a portfolio of parallel initiatives across different partners and timelines without dropping threads
Strong written and verbal communication, with a bias toward clarity and documentation
The confidence to form and defend a point of view on where our payments strategy should go

Would Be Nice if You Also Have

Gaming experience would be great

About Supercell

Supercell is a games company from Helsinki, Finland, with offices also in San Francisco, Seoul, Shanghai, and London. You might know us as the makers of Hay Day, Clash of Clans, Boom Beach, Clash Royale, and Brawl Stars. Our mission is to create great games that as many people as possible play for years and that are remembered forever.

So, how do we make great games? By putting together the best teams and giving them the freedom and independence to succeed. And by taking risks, failing, sharing learnings, and killing lots of projects.

Hey, You Might Love It Here!

Independent cells and trust are at the core of our culture. But it takes more than that to make great games. We take good care of our people, providing them with the compensation, work environment, and resources they need to succeed while having fun along the way.

You Are Not Your Job Title ™

Here, you won’t need to focus on chasing titles or climbing ladders. Internally, our job titles don’t include prefixes like Senior, Junior, Principal, or Director. Recognition isn’t tied to your title, as it doesn't define the impact you can have around here.

Benefits and Compensation

Luring you in with glitter, glamour, and gems isn't what we're about. We want you to enjoy your time here fully, so we structure our compensation and benefits with that in mind. It starts with perceiving you as a human being, not a resource.

Relocation? Yes!

No matter where you’re moving from, our dedicated mobility team and partners will support you throughout your move. We’ll ensure the process is as smooth as possible for you and anyone joining you – whether they’re family members of the human or animal kind!

Not Sure if You Should Apply?

Many candidates with great skills and experience second-guess themselves. The bar is high, but if this role excites you, apply! We’re here to help you succeed. Also, we're happy to learn about any specific accommodations you may need to fully engage in our recruitment process.

Wishing you all the best,
The Supercell Recruitment team
