Drawing on your understanding of the FinTech landscape and disruptive technologies, with a particular focus on FX and payments, you will apply these insights to support commercial execution and product growth. In addition, you will support ASG leadership in driving revenue growth, improving distribution effectiveness, and scaling product capabilities. Success in this role will be measured by your ability to translate insights into action, support pipeline growth, expand distribution channels, and contribute directly to business outcomes.
