- Translate testing outcomes into clear, decision-useful reporting for executive leadership and governance forums
- Represent FCC monitoring during regulatory examinations, audits, and banking partner reviews
You will work closely with the broader FCC organization, Product, Engineering, Operations, and regional leadership to turn testing insights into operational accountability and a defensible compliance posture before global regulators and institutional banking partners.
