THE ROLE đ

Essential

- Strong technical understanding of APIs, cloud technologies and modern system architectures, with the ability to translate business requirements into clear technical requirements and collaborate effectively with Engineering teams.
- A good understanding of the product development lifecycle and experience supporting products from requirements through to delivery.
- Strong analytical skills, including experience using data to support decision-making.
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to make complex payment concepts clear and actionable.
- The ability to work autonomously, take ownership and operate effectively in a fast-paced environment.
