- Managing stakeholder relationships across Senior Leadership, Fincrime, Operations, and Customer Care to ensure regulatory compliance, operational feasibility, and exceptional customer outcomes.
- Working closely with operational onboarding specialists and Fincrime teams to understand and manage risks whilst delivering improved customer experiences that balance conversion optimization with compliance requirements.
- Collaborating closely with your Scrum team - CRO specialists, Designers, Software Engineers, and Testers - to design and deliver solutions that reduce friction, increase conversion, and create positive first experiences.
