Strong understanding of merchant acquiring, card network operations, and alternative payment acceptance.
Proven experience managing relationships with Visa, Mastercard, and local acquirers or payment gateways.
Strong commercial acumen and negotiation skills; comfortable managing high-value, multi-party deals.
Background in financial institution partnerships, payment networks, or merchant services.
Familiarity with compliance, onboarding, and operational requirements of global and regional payment networks.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence at senior levels.
