• Cultivate effective working relationships across Sales, Technology, Operations, Finance, Compliance, Risk, and Legal — facilitating alignment across competing priorities
• Manage the geographic rollout of Data and AI capabilities across multiple markets, adapting solutions to local regulatory requirements while maintaining global design consistency

Qualifications:
