• Strong background in card portfolio management (credit and/or debit), with a clear understanding of activation, spend, retention, and lifecycle metrics
• Commercial product or GTM experience - ability to translate insights into scalable, revenue-generating offerings
• Proven ability to drive portfolio performance through data, analytics, and targeted programs
• Experience working with or benchmarking against leading card issuers
• Strong stakeholder leadership skills, with the ability to influence internally and externally
• Ability to operate across product, analytics, and client-facing environments
