The person in this role will ensure the health and growth of the business by resolving current friction points, identifying new opportunities, and driving change through stakeholders across the organization.

This role will contribute to driving the commercial strategy and revenue growth initiatives for net new business acquisition as well as growth of existing customers. You will partner with the team to understand and advocate for product needs and feedback from this customer segment, informed by collaboration with Vertical teams, regular customer conversations, and feedback from the broader stakeholder teams.

The ideal candidate will have experience running a structured approach to owning end-to-end business impact from diagnostic, to solutioning, to execution.

  • Pattern Recognition: You will identify cross-market and cross-vertical patterns in customer feedback and convert them into clear, data-driven product recommendations.
  • Customer and Revenue impact: You will have ongoing partnership with Product Leadership to inform roadmap decisions, advocating for development that drives adoption and value creation across the customer portfolio.

Who you are

  • 7+ years of experience, ideally combining a Consulting / Investment Banking background with hands-on ownership at a technology company
  • Expertise in payments or financial technology is a plus but not necessary
