Lead the architectural direction for a long‑term fix to the post‑capture payout calculation issue, ensuring alignment with both Finance and Engineering.
Partner with engineering teams to design and implement scalable, accurate, and resilient reconciliation and ledgering systems.
Serve as the primary translator between Finance and Engineering — ensuring both sides understand requirements, constraints, and impacts.
Define product requirements, roadmap, and success metrics for reconciliation and money movement systems.
Identify root causes of reconciliation discrepancies and drive cross‑functional resolution.
Build processes, controls, and reporting frameworks that improve accuracy, transparency, and audit readiness.
Provide leadership, clarity, and direction in a domain where ambiguity and complexity are currently high.
