- Serve as the primary point of coordination between payments and banking Fraud Operations and Customer Support, Compliance, Legal, Product, and Security
- Direct data analysis and reporting on fraud and payment KPIs, delivering clear, actionable reporting on a daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly cadence to executive leadership
