About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the full product lifecycle: discovery, prioritisation, specs, delivery, and iteration
Map current manual operations (partner analytics, escalations, write-offs, refunds, chargebacks) and systematically eliminate them through product solutions
Build a product that surfaces cost-reduction opportunities automatically — replacing manual reporting cycles with real-time signals
Design partner-facing flows that resolve issues without human escalation: automated write-off processing, refund/chargeback handling, payout adjustment logic
Define and instrument the metrics that prove the product is working: cost per partner, manual task volume, resolution time, revshare rate trends
Work directly with engineering and data teams to ship: write clear specs, unblock development, own the roadmap
Identify and integrate tooling (CRM automation, reporting pipelines, workflow engines) that reduces manual overhead across the team
Deliver a long-term initiatives roadmap with clear, measurable financial impact
