• Translate payments industry regulatory considerations (e.g., PCI DSS, card network rules) into clear, actionable product guidance.
• Partner cross-functionally with product management, engineering, design, marketing, and compliance teams to balance legal risk with the need to ship quickly in a competitive market.
