Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Transaction Operations Associate role sits at the intersection of SaaS operations and fintech infrastructure, where product usage is measured in successful, repeatable transactions rather than feature adoption alone. In a newer venture-backed company operating in cross-border payments and FX, operational reliability becomes part of the product, making execution, documentation, and issue handling central to customer outcomes.
For SaaS professionals, the career value comes from learning how partner-facing operations translate into activation, retention, and volume. The work naturally builds fluency in operational workflows, incident triage, and cross-functional coordination with Product, Treasury, and Compliance, experience that transfers well to roles in revenue operations, implementation, customer operations, or payments ops across SaaS. It also develops a disciplined approach to process feedback loops, turning recurring partner friction into clearer internal reporting and actionable improvements.
This position is best suited to someone who prefers structured, detail-led work with regular external interaction and clear ownership of outcomes. It will appeal to professionals early in their SaaS journey who want proximity to the mechanics of how a platform is used in production, especially in regulated or transaction-heavy environments, while working in a hybrid setup in Monterrey.

Job Description
Founded in 2023, Tensec is a global fintech that enables small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to enter global trade and thrive by giving them access to global transaction banking solutions that are user-friendly, efficient, and secure.
Tensec founders have driven startups from foundation to exit, built decacorns, and led global teams at companies such as PayPal, Credit Karma, Facebook, Goldman Sachs, Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. We’re putting together a world-class team to disrupt the $50 trillion cross-border b2b financial services industry by providing SMBs the financial strength to participate and win in the global economy.
We believe that successful companies and teams are directly correlated to a company's cultural DNA. At Tensec, we make a deliberate effort to create values and foster a culture able to unleash both human and organizational potential. We strongly believe that the best business results derive from teams that have a strong identification with a mission, push themselves to the edge, and love what they do.
The Tensec team is diverse and global, with members in San Francisco, New York, Miami, Monterrey, and Sao Paulo. We are funded by top venture capital firms such as Quiet Capital, Costanoa Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, Clocktower, WillowTree, and prolific angels such as Jason Pate (Chief Strategy Officer, Plaid), Bora Chung (ex-Chief Experience Officer, Bill.com and Board Member, Remitly).
This role follows a hybrid model. We ask that you're in our Monterrey office 3 days per week.
How we Work
We move fast, debrief quickly, and expect you to own your output. This is a dynamic company, we value speed and decisiveness over process. You'll have the context you need to make good decisions, and the autonomy to make them.
Location: Monterrey, Mexico. This role follows a hybrid model. We ask that you're in our Monterrey office 2–3 days per week.
About the Role Key Responsibilities
Tensec is looking for a Transaction Operations Associate to be the operational engine behind our partners' cross-border payment and FX transactions in Mexico. Where onboarding gets a partner ready to transact, this role makes sure they actually transact — smoothly, correctly, and on time — from the moment a payment is initiated through to settlement.
You'll be the go-to person our partners rely on to execute FX and cross-border transactions, understand the platform, and resolve issues fast. Day to day, you'll guide partners through live transactions, run training and enablement sessions, make sure every operation has the documentation and compliance information it needs, and work hand-in-hand with our Compliance, Product, and Treasury teams to keep volume moving.
This is a role for someone highly organized and client-confident who wants deep, hands-on exposure to how a cross-border payments and FX business runs at the transaction level — with direct impact on partner activation, transaction volume, and speed.
Key Responsibilities
Transaction Execution & FX Support
Guide partners through the end-to-end execution of cross-border and FX transactions, from initiation through settlement, ensuring each operation is completed accurately and on time.
Serve as the operational point of contact for partners during live transactions, answering questions on rates, corridors, timelines, and next steps.
Monitor in-flight transactions and proactively follow up with partners and internal teams to prevent delays and keep volume moving.
Maintain clear, up-to-date records of transaction status and coordinate with Treasury and Product teams to resolve operational blockers.
Partner Training & Enablement
Run recurring training and enablement sessions to help partners use the Tensec platform confidently and follow best practices for executing transactions.
Onboard partner teams onto transaction workflows and walk new users through their first operations until they're self-sufficient.
Create and maintain simple guides, walkthroughs, and reference materials that reduce partner questions and speed up activation.
Support & Issue Resolution
Act as the first line of support for partner questions, incidents, and transaction troubleshooting, resolving what you can and escalating what you can't without delay.
Identify and escalate transaction issues before they become partner-facing problems, coordinating across Compliance, Product, and local operations.
Track recurring issues and feed patterns back to the team to drive process and product improvements.
Compliance & Documentation Support
Reporting & Coordination
Prepare clear, well-organized status updates and summaries on transaction volume, issues, and partner activity for internal stakeholders.
Build simple presentations and reports to communicate transaction status, bottlenecks, or process updates.
Support the Commercial Lead with ad hoc reporting, data organization, and cross-functional coordination as priorities evolve.
