• Promote continuous improvement of client experience (e.g., initiatives supporting NPS) and channel feedback into product teams.
• Stay current on industry trends, technology, and payments regulation; represent the organisation at industry events where relevant.
• Simplify and challenge existing processes to improve efficiency and delivery quality.
