• Move beyond reporting by providing context, narrative, and recommendations that influence business, customer, and risk outcomes.
• Oversee dashboards, reporting, and data assets that provide visibility across end-to-end payment journeys, operational performance, and risk metrics.
• Navigate complex data environments, partnering with technology teams to extract, structure, and interpret semi-structured payments data.
• Present insights and recommendations to senior leaders and executive forums with clarity and confidence.
• Build trusted relationships across payments, risk, compliance, financial crime, operations, technology, and regulatory reporting teams.
