You will define how dLocal becomes the undisputed leader in next‑generation payment experiences in emerging markets—driving adoption, performance, and revenue growth for our merchants.

You will lead a team of product managers, collaborate closely with engineering, design, risk, finance, and commercial teams across regions, and build strong relationships with external partners (banks, PSPs, APM players, card schemes, BNPL providers, and regulators). Your mission is to create category‑leading products that deliver exceptional conversion, reliability, and user experience—while navigating the unique regulatory, operational, and market dynamics of emerging economies.

This is a high‑visibility, high‑impact role ideal for a strategic thinker who combines deep payments expertise with execution excellence and an entrepreneurial mindset.

• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of product managers focused on individual payment methods and growth areas.
• Define clear goals, KPIs, and success metrics for each payment product, ensuring strong performance across availability, conversion, cost efficiency, and revenue.
• Drive the entire product lifecycle—from ideation to launch, scaling, iteration, and continuous optimization.
• Work closely with engineering, compliance, commercial, and operations to deliver reliable, scalable, and frictionless payment solutions.
• Build strong partnerships with external stakeholders, including customers, banks, BNPL providers, processors, and alternative payment method partners.

You Have

• 8+ years of experience in product management, with at least 4+ years in payments, financial services, or fintech—ideally owning specific payment method products (BNPL, card acquiring, APMs, wallets, cash‑based payments, or bank transfer rails).
• Proven track record of building and scaling payment products in fast‑paced, high‑growth environments.
• Strong leadership experience, including leading product managers and cross‑functional teams.
• Exceptional strategic thinking and the ability to translate long‑term vision into actionable roadmaps.
