Portfolio Risk Monitoring
  • Monitor merchant processing activity and risk indicators.
  • Investigate alerts related to:
    • Chargeback spikes
    • ACH returns
    • Suspicious transaction activity
  • Conduct periodic portfolio reviews to reassess merchant risk profiles.
  • Recommend risk mitigation measures such as:
    • Processing limits
    • Reserve requirements
    • Enhanced monitoring.
Process & Operational Improvements
  • Help refine internal underwriting workflows and policies.
  • Identify opportunities to improve onboarding efficiency and reduce manual work.
  • Support tooling improvements and internal documentation.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Partner with:
    • Sales
    • Customer Success
