FAQ

Common questions about this CV

Should I list specific payment providers on my CV?

Yes. Stripe, Adyen, Solidgate and Checkout.com are the first thing recruiters scan for. If you migrated or integrated between them, that deserves its own bullet.

I only worked with subscriptions. Can I move to a one-time payments product?

Yes, but expect questions on dispute flows and refund policy differences. Highlight your MRR volumes and dunning experience because those overlap directly.

How important is SQL for a Billing Team Lead?

Important. You need confident joins and window functions to spot dispute spikes or refund patterns without waiting on the analytics team.

How many years of experience do I need to apply for a senior Billing Team Lead role?

Typically 5+ years in payments and at least 2 years managing people. Crisis stories like VDMP recovery or PSP migration push you to the top of the pile.

Are CRCM or CIPP certifications worth getting for this role?

Not required, but a plus for regulated markets and bank-facing work. Recruiters still rank real RDR, CDRN and Visa rule experience above any certificate.
