Own the global payments roadmap and strategy across authorization, routing, retries, tokenization, chargebacks/disputes, and refunds/partial captures, with clear KPIs for conversion, cost, latency, and reliability.
Design and scale a multi-PSP platform, including smart routing, failover, experimentation frameworks, and performance monitoring to continuously improve auth rates and reduce processing costs.
Expand payment methods in the US and internationally, including wallets, local payment methods, EBT SNAP, HSA/FSA, and other emerging options, ensuring compliance with regional and network requirements.
Partner closely with engineering (working with approximately 10–20 engineers) to define PRDs, scope systems, manage delivery timelines, and uphold high standards for availability, security, and PCI compliance.
Collaborate across Platform, Fraud, Order Management, Loyalty, Pricing/Discounting, Shopper (for payouts), and Instacart+ (for subscriptions) to support nuanced flows like post-order changes, substitutions, partial captures, and disbursements.
Manage external relationships with PSPs and card networks—driving performance reviews, negotiating favorable terms, running vendor evaluations, and ensuring SLAs and compliance are consistently met.
