Manager, Global Acceptance Ecosystems and Standards

Manager, Global Acceptance Ecosystems and Standards Overview

In partnership with regional Merchant and Acceptance teams and cross-functional partners around the globe, Global Acceptance Solutions works to expand merchant acceptance and help merchants and acquirers grow their businesses through Acceptance solutions and programs.

The Manager joining the team will be spearheading projects across acceptance product lines, to ensure that our solutions architecture and standards reflect and anticipate the changes in the ecosystems and value chain. As part of this role, the Manager will assess holistic implications of requirements on the whole acquiring value chain, including the intersection of technical requirements, standards/policies, and economics, keeping future proofing top of mind. The Manager will also be working hand in hand with the regional teams to capture trends and needs.
