  • Experience working directly with payment networks, processors and financial partners, influencing outcomes and driving alignment

  • Strong ability to operate across strategy and execution, from defining long-term architecture to delivering launch milestones

  • Clear communication and leadership skills, with the ability to influence technical and non-technical stakeholders

  • A pragmatic, ownership-driven mindset, with the ability to bring structure to complex, evolving challenges
