- Advise clients on how POS upgrades, terminal certifications, EMV requirements, and omnichannel tokenization strategies impact store operations and customer experience.
- Collaborate with solutions engineering teams to design seamless POS integrations, from API connectivity to certification testing and deployment.
Client Discovery
- Conduct deep discovery to understand a retailer’s store operations, checkout processes, fraud challenges, and omnichannel roadmap.
- Translate requirements into compelling commercial proposals for eCommerce, in-store, and unified payment solutions.
Commercial Strategy & Negotiation

- Partner with Sales Ops, legal, product, and finance to structure deals that meet revenue, cost, and margin targets.
