• Support UAT and production testing, documenting all outcomes for future reference.
• Resolve technical issues during testing, leveraging internal collaboration and support tools (Jira, Slack, Zendesk).
• Facilitate client implementation of additional experiences such as Tokenisation, 3DS, Visa Account Updater, and Credit.
