About the role

As a Product Manager in our Issuing Payments team, your mission is two-fold: ensuring the technical robustness, compliance, and quality of our payment rails while simultaneously driving their evolution into new global markets. This is a career-defining opportunity to manage the granular complexity of the processing world and scale our Issuing product from a regional success to a global powerhouse.

What you’ll be doing

• Demonstrate strong cross-functional leadership across Engineering, Financial Partnerships, and Commercial teams to contribute to the global expansion of our Issuing capabilities

• Define the product roadmap to achieve functional parity across schemes and regions, ensuring our issuing stack fully supports the needs of our verticals

• Define the product requirements for our critical markets that ensure we not only launch but compete effectively against local incumbents

• Turn complex scheme mandates and technical requirements into seamless, value-add product features. You will ensure our customers remain shielded from the intricacies of the processing world while benefiting from the latest network capabilities.

• Leverage data-driven insights to identify transaction patterns and optimization opportunities, advising the wider business on how to maximize authorization rates and share of wallets

• Act as the bridge between Engineering, Commercial, and Financial Partnerships, translating high-level business goals into precise technical specifications and ensuring alignment on complex certification and integration projects.

What we look for

• You demonstrate end-to-end ownership with the ability to navigate ambiguity; you can drive projects forward and maintain a holistic view even without having every answer defined for you

• A strong collaborator and communicator with the ability to influence critical decisions and inspire confidence across all levels

• You thrive in detail and have proven experience working on complex products requiring meticulous, low-level work to abstract the complexity for users.

• You get things done: you're highly organized and know how to coordinate internal and external teams to consistently meet ambitious timelines.

• You have a proven track record of managing complex products in highly technical environments

Nice to have

• Payment expertise: Prior experience working within the payments industry, specifically with deep knowledge of card processing schemes is a plus

• A technical background enabling deeper engagement with engineering teams
