• Collaborate closely with executive leadership, Product, Technology, Risk, Compliance, and Control functions to deliver strategic priorities and support ongoing product and market expansion.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders, including clients, partners, vendors, and regulatory bodies.
• Provide thought leadership and represent JPMPI in strategic internal and external engagements across the payments, investing, and financial services ecosystem.
