• Develop and maintain strategic relationships with UK and Irish issuers, acquirers, and scheme partners to conduct joint deep dives, resolve performance gaps, and unlock new capabilities and participating in working groups to shape standards
• Drive adoption and optimisation of features and partner or scheme-level tools to improve performance of main metrics for UK/IE, working with issuers and authentication providers to maximise rates
• Proactively create a feedback loop to Product and Engineering teams to influence roadmap priorities — e.g., launches, UX, features
• Drive UAT and end-to-end testing with banks, networks, and providers for new capabilities, regulatory changes, or migrations
