Job summary

Yapily is seeking a highly experienced Product Manager to own the core platform services (identity, access, API gateway) and related data products. You’ll set strategy, define standards, and own contracts that other teams rely on, while partnering with commercial and marketing on pricing and go-to-market.

The role requires deep technical credibility with engineers and strong enterprise product instincts, including multi-tenant security, governance, and compliance, in a fintech setting.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in product management, with a strong track record on platform, infrastructure, or API products.
• Strong technical foundation: lead architecture and API discussions, weigh trade-offs, review designs with engineers.
• Think in systems: understand how shared services connect across products and teams, scale design.
• Owned foundational services or platform primitives such as identity, accounts, permissions, or an API gateway, including contracts and versioning.
• Familiar with multi-tenant architecture and enterprise access components (RBAC/ABAC, SSO, SCIM, OAuth2, SAML, OpenID Connect).
• Data products experience: analytics or reporting APIs, or related data foundation.
• Able to align stakeholders and drive cross-team outcomes; able to explain trade-offs to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Commercial fluency: understand enterprise buyers and collaborate on packaging and go-to-market.
• Sound judgment on prioritisation and build-versus-buy; confident to say no.
• Experience in regulated fintech/payments/banking, handling sensitive data and obligations.
• Eligible to work in the United Kingdom.

Responsibilities

• Own the strategy, roadmap, and data models for core services (applications, identity, access) and the API gateway.
• Collaborate with API Governance to expose services via clean, versioned APIs without breaking dependents.
• Own and monetise data products (analytics, reporting APIs) from discovery through launch and iteration.
• Own enterprise capabilities for upmarket customers: SSO, RBAC/ABAC, audit, usage and entitlements, multi-organisation support.
• Extend identity and access models to AI agents and machine identities with scoped, time-bound credentials.
• Provide authorization foundations for agent access, including OAuth flows for MCP and federated access within customer consent.
• Integrate platform with billing, CRM, compliance tools; keep accounts/usage/entitlements consistent (Lead to Cash).
• Balance competing demands from product teams and customers; prioritise foundational investments.
• Partner with engineering to scope and ship; collaborate with security, privacy, legal to meet regulatory obligations.
• Partner with commercial/marketing on pricing, packaging, and go-to-market; translate platform capabilities for stakeholders.
• Define and track platform metrics: adoption, reliability, latency, data quality, and customer-satisfaction indicators.
