Sep 2010 - May 2014
At SagePay I worked as a Payments Consultant working with larger tier 2 + clients to understand and deliver innovative solutions to improve efficiency while reducing costs. I believe to deliver the correct solution I must first gain a deep understanding of the clients ecommerce business. This enables me to cross reference industry trends to deliver maximum benefit. To address key topics such as conversion rates it is also important to look at fraud rule bases to ensure only fraudulent transactions are blocked while genuine transactions are not missed out on.
