Establish transparent prioritization frameworks and clear ownership between central Billing and product-level teams.

Ensure payment infrastructure reliability through effective monitoring, incident management, and continuous process improvements.

Lead and develop the Billing team, building scalable processes, clear accountability, and a proactive, results-driven culture.
