• Serve as the payment subject-matter expert , guiding internal teams and customers through payment systems, merchant account setups, escalations, and resolution strategies.

• A proactive, solution-oriented mindset —you don’t just fix problems, you help prevent them.
• Strong ethics and a passion for protecting sensitive customer data.
• A collaborative spirit—you’re a team player who works well across departments and functions.
• Ability to explain technical payment concepts clearly and simply to customers and non-technical teams.
