  • Assess merchant concentration, seasonality, refund and reversal patterns, approval and decline rates, cross-border activity, and unusual performance movements to support commercial, operational, and risk decisions.
  • Translate acquiring analytics into actionable merchant strategies, including pricing, sales targeting, portfolio interventions, acceptance expansion, and value-added service opportunities.
  • Develop client-facing materials (business cases, proposals, whitepapers, and presentations) to support advisory engagements and sales motions.
  • Coordinate with internal stakeholders (Sales, Product, Technology, Data, Schemes) to ensure successful execution and delivery of advisory outcomes.
  • Track KPIs, financial impact, and post-launch performance to demonstrate measurable value delivered to issuers and acquirers.
