• Risk & Compliance Considerations: Working closely with compliance, risk, and legal teams to ensure that Float’s financial products adhere to regulatory requirements while maintaining a great customer experience.
• Data-Driven Decision Making: Utilizing data and analytics to make informed product decisions. Analyzing transaction patterns, conducting A/B testing, and leveraging key metrics to measure the success and impact of financial products.
