Product Associate - Merchant Service Data Platform - Payments

As a Merchant Services Data Platform team, we drive the vision, strategy, and execution for a scalable, secure, and high-performance data platform - enabling internal and external clients to access, analyze, and operationalize data through robust APIs, self-service tools, and managed services, supporting diverse analytics and reporting needs across the payment’s ecosystem.

As a Product Associate on the Data Platform team, you are the vital link between our Merchant Services product teams and the data that powers them. You bring curiosity, execution, and sharp analytical instincts to uncover what data exists, identify gaps, and help shape a single source of truth - turning scattered data into a trusted foundation the business can rely on. Working hands-on with Snowflake, you will help teams find the data they need, when they need it, while contributing to the evolution of how data is discovered, trusted, and used across the organization.
