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.
• 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

• Demonstrate end‑to‑end ownership with the ability to navigate ambiguity; drive projects forward and maintain a holistic view even without having every answer defined for you.
• Strong collaborator and communicator with the ability to influence critical decisions and inspire confidence across all levels.
• Thrives in detail and has proven experience working on complex products requiring meticulous, low‑level work to abstract complexity for users.
• Get things done: highly organized and knows how to coordinate internal and external teams to consistently meet ambitious timelines.
• Proven track record of managing complex products in highly technical environments.
• Payment expertise (deep knowledge of card processing schemes) – a plus.
• Technical background enabling deeper engagement with engineering teams.
