• Lead the end-to-end launch of new payment capabilities, including discovery, business case development, requirements, build, testing, rollout, training, and post-launch performance measurement.
• Collaborate with Pricing and Finance to shape pricing and packaging strategies that align with market dynamics, client value, and P&L goals.
• Partner with Marketing and GTM teams to develop value propositions, positioning, messaging, and sales enablement materials that drive awareness, adoption, and expansion.

• Participate in key client discussions and executive briefings as the product voice, supporting sales cycles and strategic account planning.
• Work closely with Operations, Risk, and Compliance to ensure products are resilient, scalable, compliant, and deliver a reliable experience for property managers and residents.
