· Review and approve other team members’ configuration changes.

· Provide responsive, accurate, and timely communications to internal and external stakeholders.

· Build and enhance positive working relationships with Visa clients and internal stakeholders (i.e. Client Success Management, Client Implementation, & Testing).
