• Deep knowledge of card payment flows, transaction routing, recurring billing, authorization optimization, and payment recovery.

• Solid understanding of Visa and Mastercard regulations, fraud prevention, anti-fraud systems, and chargeback management.

• Proven experience managing PSP relationships, negotiating commercial terms, and evaluating payment partners.

• Strong analytical skills, experience working with large datasets, and ability to translate payment metrics into actionable business decisions.

• Experience collaborating with engineering teams on payment integrations, technical requirements, and infrastructure improvements.

• Proven ability to manage multiple stakeholders with competing priorities and drive cross-functional initiatives.

• Strong strategic thinking, commercial acumen, and ability to build scalable processes and effective operating models.

• Excellent leadership, communication, and negotiation skills, with a high level of ownership and accountability.
