Hard pressed to find an alternative revenue stream due to the global advertising recession and reported thirst for more venture funding, Facebook is ready to devote an entire team to Facebook Payments Operations.

The social network is seeking a "Payment Operations Strategist" to "work cross-functionally with the Product and Engineering teams to design tools and systems to serve our hundreds of millions of users and our ever-growing base of advertisers," as well as a risk management specialist to be based in its Dublin, Ireland, office to handle billing, payment, and security operations in European and Middle Eastern countries.

"Projects driven by Payment Operations team members will potentially contribute millions of dollars to Facebook's business, as well as enable the company to scale and expand its operations in the coming years," the careers site explained.
