Write your story with Zip

As a Director of Product, you’ll play a central role in bringing new, customer-loved financial products and experiences to life. You’ll lead the strategy and execution for our mobile app, website, and key features across spend, engagement, and loyalty.

Working closely with a Director of Engineering and Lead Designer, you’ll co-own the roadmap that drives innovative, seamless experiences for our customers. You’ll also lead a high-performing team of product professionals in a hybrid environment that values collaboration, autonomy, and impact.

This is an incredible opportunity to deliver real value—to your team, to our business, and most importantly, to our customers and merchants. It will demand deep domain expertise, expert leadership, and sharp execution—but the rewards will match the challenge.

Interesting problems you’ll get to solve

• Deliver on our product strategy and North Star through high-quality execution that drives leading customer and commercial outcomes
• Ensure product releases are launched on time and to the highest standard
• Deeply understand the customer lifecycle, working with Marketing to optimise the journey beyond onboarding
• Drive hypothesis-led experimentation (A/B testing, analytics) to continuously improve product performance
• Set clear, impactful OKRs that align with commercial goals and user experience improvements
• Manage product risks and ensure appropriate controls are embedded throughout the lifecycle

What you’ll bring to the team

• 15+ years’ experience in product management within technology, payments, or financial services, with a track record of delivering customer-focused outcomes
• 7+ years experience leading and developing high-performing, empowered teams—ideally as a leader of leaders
• Strong capabilities in using data and experimentation to drive product strategy and decision-making
• Expert stakeholder management and the ability to make your team’s voice heard at the highest levels
• Passion for modern product management practices—and curiosity to explore new ways of working in context
• A natural leader with a bias for action who inspires collaboration and delivers meaningful outcomes
• Solid practical knowledge of Design Thinking, Agile, and Lean methodologies
• A creative mindset with a strong track record of delivering market-leading digital product experiences
• An aptitude for identifying and managing risks. Whether you are a People Manager or an Individual Contributor, we are all leaders at Zip, therefore effective risk management is important to how we run our business and part of all our roles.
• Our values in your DNA: Customer First, Own It, Stronger Together and Change the Game

What you’ll get in return

As we write this next exciting chapter in our story, we will continue to move at pace and embrace change. For you, this might mean opportunities to learn new skills with hands-on experience, broader responsibilities, or the buzz of seeing your work impact customers faster.

Zip is a place where you’ll get out exactly what you put in. When you join the team, we'll do our best to make sure you can be yourself and surround yourself with smart, friendly colleagues and leaders who have your back, so that you can make the big things happen.
