You'll tackle diverse challenges including global market expansion, seller onboarding flows, compliance experiences, and payment optimization initiatives. Working closely with partners across Product, User Research, and Analytics, you'll identify customer pain points across different payments touchpoints and craft high-quality solutions that balance user needs with business requirements. This position requires creative and analytical skills, with the ability to context-switch between multiple projects and payment areas in an experimental and fast-paced environment.
