• Align roadmap cadence and shared requirements with the Cash Application product team, ensuring payment data — including remittance detail and payment method signals — flows cleanly into downstream matching and reconciliation workflows
• Partner across Billtrust’s Platform and Software product teams to ensure payments capabilities are well-integrated into the broader product platform, shared services are leveraged effectively, and roadmap dependencies are surfaced and resolved early
• Drive AI adoption across the payments product team, with specific focus on payments-relevant applications: exception handling in cash application, authorization optimization, fraud signal detection, and remittance data enrichment
