Coordinate with internal teams and external partners (banks, insurers, payment processors) to build secure, accessible products tailored for the education sector
Oversee the rollout of products that must work in real-world school environments—across geographies, school types, and payment behaviors
Measurement & Continuous Improvement
Define product success metrics, such as school-level adoption, parent engagement, and transaction growth
Monitor how schools and families interact with the products and use this data to inform iteration
Drive improvements that increase impact on education affordability and operational efficiency
Go-to-Market & Rollout
