• Operational subject matter expert for ALM services, including but not limited to: Product Graduation Plus, Enhanced Value, World High Value, Small Business Spend Processing, Commercial B2B Rate Manager, Affluent Shortfall — covering qualification criteria, product code mapping, enrolment and subscription constructs, tenure mechanics and account-level processing behaviour.
• Responsible for market readiness and launch execution of ALM services within the region: launch scope, issuer eligibility and classification, enrolment waves, opt-in and opt-out management, and readiness tracking across issuer, market, operational and technology workstreams.
• Prepare and drive regional pricing and approval submissions end to end, including proposal documentation, business cases, opportunity sizing, revenue projections and pricing narratives; manage assessment lead times and sequence alignment across Pricing, Interchange, Finance, Legal & Regulatory, Country Management and Global Product so approval timelines hold.
• Facilitate customer on-boarding by guiding issuers through enrolment, platform access provisioning, participation activation, file exchange set-up and validation testing, and by supplying the documentation required to clear customer-side information security, data sharing and internal governance reviews.
• Serve as the region's first point of escalation for ALM operational issues — including file rejections, provisioning and permission failures, reporting access and product code or account-level processing anomalies — driving each to root cause with Global Product, BizOps and engineering, and closing the loop with the customer.
• Validate post-launch product performance, confirming graduation outcomes, product code changes and correct application of agreed rates through sample and transaction-level testing, and investigating customer-raised discrepancies.
• Create and maintain the region's ALM documentation and enablement assets — implementation and getting-started guides, enrolment forms, process flows, operational FAQs and playbooks — so that each additional market and customer requires materially less manual effort than the last.

• Exceptional follow-through and organizational discipline; able to hold a high volume of concurrent threads across multiple markets and customers without dropped dependencies.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to structure business cases, interrogate eligibility and performance data, and diagnose operational failures across multiple systems and teams.
• Effective communicator, able to produce both customer-ready operational documentation and concise executive summaries, and to judge which is required.
