Identify root causes behind process breakdowns, revenue leakage, fraud risk, or poor customer experience. • Translate observations into concrete problem statements, not abstract “user needs”. • Push back on solutions that look good on paper but won’t work at scale in the field. • Collaborate and act as the single-threaded owner across Engineering, Operations, Sales, Risk, Programs, Call center, Data etc. • Work on aligning scope, timelines, rollout plans, and success metrics. • Escalate decisively when trade-offs are required between speed, quality, and scope. • Define and track key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure product success and impact. • Use data to iterate on product performance and drive growth. • Travel about 10%-20% of the time to places including but not limited to India, Kenya, Myanmar, Mozambique, Nigeria, Tanzania, Togo, Uganda, Zambia and to any other Sun King markets.
