Operational Excellence: Own and enhance core gold systems (pricing, settlement, ledger, reconciliation) with an acute focus on automation, operational leverage, and reducing the cost-to-serve. 6. Cross-Functional Leadership: Act as the primary strategic partner to engineering, finance, compliance, legal, and external partners, driving clear alignment on priorities, risk management, and delivery timelines. 7. Execution Oversight: Lead high-quality execution, including technical backlog prioritization, sprint planning, defining release criteria, and systematic reduction of technical debt. 8. Compliance & Risk Governance: Ensure all platform features and backend systems maintain rigorous regulatory, audit, and financial risk compliance, providing comprehensive documentation and controls. 9. Mentorship & Team Development: (Implied Seniority) Mentor junior team members on technical rigor, data-driven decision-making, and stakeholder management.

Proven experience with analytics tools (e.g., Python/R for analysis, Tableau/Looker for visualization) and a strong understanding of statistical methods for A/B testing and predictive modeling. - Platform Expertise: Strong technical depth in distributed systems, microservices, cloud infrastructure, and financial system design (ledgers, reconciliation, real-time transaction processing). - Fintech Domain: Direct, demonstrable experience in payments, e-commerce, commodities, or complex financial services is required. - Strategic Influence: Exceptional ability to drive consensus and communicate complex technical and analytical findings clearly to executive, finance, and engineering audiences. - Leadership Mindset: A track record of setting ambitious, data-backed goals, holding a high standard for execution, and driving tangible P&L impact.
