• Strong product judgment with the ability to navigate trade‑offs between risk, user experience, and business impact.
• Proven ability to deliver complex, data‑driven products in a fast‑paced environment.

• Stay ahead of industry trends, regulatory changes, and emerging threats in payments and risk.

• Own the full product lifecycle—from discovery and definition through to launch and iteration.
• Translate complex risk and compliance needs into clear product requirements and prioritized initiatives.
• Partner closely with engineering, data, and design to deliver scalable, reliable systems.
• Continuously improve internal tools and workflows to increase automation, accuracy, and efficiency.
