  • Work closely with internal teams, including compliance, IT, development, client support, sales, and treasury management to deliver solutions that meet customer needs and align with business objectives.
  • Serve as the product owner for card-related systems, capturing requirements for enhancements, managing dependencies, and communicating updates to stakeholders.
  • Serve as the primary contact with payment networks, managing periodic reporting, compliance obligations, BIN/ICA administration, and network incentives.
  • Analyze financial performance of card and wallet programs, assist with budget forecasting, and ensure KPI tracking and reporting is accurate and timely.
  • Contribute meaningfully to all efforts to foster the best possible cardholder experience and ease of use.
  • Liaise with retail staff, treasury management, lenders, and branch management to foster a steady referral pipeline of consumer and commercial credit card customers.
  • Collaborate with collections, underwriting, fraud, and customer service teams to ensure cohesive customer experiences and successful issue resolution.

Qualifications:
