As a part of the Economic Performance team, you will drive our partnership with SME teams on the risk/fraud/payments ecosystem in APAC. You will sit at the intersection of data and operations, ensuring our processes are robust, our metrics are accurately reported & optimized, and we're making the most of new opportunities in the commerce space.
