• Manage expectations and ensure alignment between client goals and technical feasibility.

• Facilitate sprint planning, prioritization, and internal stand-ups in coordination with engineering leads.
• Track task completion, dependencies, blockers, and ensure delivery milestones are met.
• Ensure that technical solutions are implemented according to client specifications and security/regulatory standards (e.g., PCI DSS).

• Understand payment workflows, transaction lifecycles, settlement flows, and relevant industry protocols (e.g., ISO 8583, card schemes, e-wallets, QR rails) is an advantage.
