  • Work cross-functionally (Customer Success, Commercial AMs, Product, Compliance, Global Payins) to reduce costs, increase approvals and reliability, and deliver best-in-class merchant go-lives.
  • Drive measurable impact: improve approval rates, reduce latency and costs, lower incident escalation, and accelerate merchant time-to-revenue.

  • Data-driven mindset with strong root-cause analysis skills. Proficient with Excel/Sheets; SQL or BI tools a plus.
  • Working knowledge of scheme mandates, fines processes, and operational compliance (AML/KYC considerations).
  • Excellent communication and ability to influence across functions and with external partners.
  • Experience leading cross-functional programs, merchant go-lives, and driving actions under tight timelines.
  • Bias for action, ownership, strong organisation, and ability to operate across time zones and manage multiple initiatives.
