Responsibilities:

• Monitor, analyze, and optimize payment performance across merchants, processors, payment methods, and markets.

• Analyze approval rates, decline patterns, payment routing performance, retry and cascading effectiveness, 3DS performance, and transaction success.

• Perform deep-dive analyses to identify trends, anomalies, and optimization opportunities across processors, card schemes, BINs, countries, merchants, and payment methods.

• Measure the impact of new product features, processor integrations, routing changes, payment optimization initiatives, and A/B experiments.

• Build and maintain dashboards and reports that provide actionable insights for Product, Merchant Solutions, Executive, and other business teams.

• Define, monitor, and improve key product and payment KPIs.

• Investigate merchant and processor performance to identify root causes and recommend improvements.

• Collaborate with Product Managers to support product discovery, feature prioritization, and success measurement.

• Work closely with Solution Engineers, Integration Analysts, and the ML Specialist to improve payment performance and operational efficiency.

• Support continuous monitoring of payment performance by identifying anomalies, emerging trends, and opportunities for optimization.

• Present analytical findings and recommendations in a clear, business-oriented manner to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
