  • Take a leading role in designing/mapping solutions to requests for process innovation and automation, to measurably alleviate pain points in the Member transfer, returned payments, Know Your Customer, and payment exceptions processes, among others.
  • Ensure that learnings and findings are incorporated into future product design.
  • Uphold and manage the product development process in cross-discipline workstreams using tools, documentation, and strategies for collaboration, feedback and clear communication.
  • Be a partner, champion, and support to Members through their Grameen journey.
