Interface with regulatory stakeholders to ensure seamless alignment with CBK’s open banking directives, data privacy laws, and KYC/AML enforcement.
-
Manage partnerships with banks, PSPs, credit bureaus, and telcos for shared fintech infrastructure services.

Track product performance metrics using product analytics stacks (Segment, Mixpanel, Looker), and translate insights into roadmap iterations.
-
Evaluate partner SLAs, API consumption patterns, sandbox feedback, and security audits for platform enhancements.
Key Qualifications:

Minimum 7 years of experience in fintech, with at least 3 years in embedded finance or banking-as-a-service delivery.
