Collaborate closely with Risk and Compliance teams to design product processes that embed necessary controls with the lowest possible friction for the merchant. Proactively anticipate and translate new regulatory and policy changes into clear product requirements and required experience updates. Product Discovery & Execution: Lead the product discovery process, generating deep insights through merchant feedback, data analysis, and user research.
