Our take: The real work here is setting payments data strategy and growing a full-stack data team while partnering with product and engineering to turn ambiguous commercial questions into clear, high-impact decisions.

This is a seat at the payments leadership table where data shapes strategy rather than serving it from downstream. You would set direction for a full-stack data team, partner deeply with product and engineering, and help a fast-growing bank move into borderless banking. If you love turning ambiguous commercial problems into clear decisions and growing the people who deliver them, this will feel like home.
