This freelance role offers the opportunity to optimize payment infrastructure across a portfolio of international subscription-based SaaS products. You will audit existing Stripe integrations, identify improvement opportunities, and establish consistent best practices across multiple products. Your work will have a direct impact on payment conversion, authorization rates, renewal performance, risk management, and revenue. The role combines deep technical expertise with hands-on problem-solving across recurring payments, billing, fraud, and payment authentication. You will collaborate directly with payment, technology, and product teams in a highly autonomous, fully remote environment. The mission is designed for an experienced Stripe specialist who can quickly assess complex setups and deliver measurable improvements. You will also document your work and transfer knowledge to internal teams, creating lasting value beyond the engagement.

Analyze complex payment and billing configurations and recommend practical improvements. Collaborate closely with payment specialists and Technology and Product teams to implement changes effectively.

Strong analytical skills, rigor, and a results-oriented approach focused on measurable outcomes. Fluent French, as the primary working language. Professional fluency in English, used as a secondary working language and assessed during the recruitment process.
