Job description

Product Manager - Europe Expansion

We are looking for an ambitious, driven Product Manager to join our team. At Sokin, we are building a world‑class product team that can help us remove the borders, barriers and burdens from global business.

Product Management at Sokin is all about creating and delivering an ambitious roadmap with your team and working continuously with clients and stakeholders to ensure your product is driving real value for our customers and the business.

This is an opportunity for someone who wants to be part of something challenging and transformative, someone who wants to play a critical role in driving our success.

About Us

Sokin is a next‑generation B2B financial services provider, enabling businesses to make and receive global payments with greater speed, lower cost, and total transparency. Our mission is simple: we’re simplifying global business - so businesses thrive wherever they choose to grow. We deliver services across:

• Global payments and receivables

• Foreign Exchange (FX)

• Treasury management

• Finance reconciliations

We are rapidly expanding, with established presence in EMEA, APAC, and North America, backed by a strong global infrastructure and industry‑leading partners, we are redefining how businesses move money worldwide.

Our clients span industries from sports and entertainment to logistics and travel, and our community is growing rapidly. As we continue to expand, we’re building a team of exceptional people who share our ambition to transform the future of global payments.

As our Europe Expansion Product manager:

You’ll define the strategic roadmap for Sokin’s banking connectivity across Europe—determining which markets we expand into, what capabilities we need, and how our infrastructure evolves to serve our clients’ needs.

You’ll be responsible for building the business case for market expansion, analyzing client demand, payment volumes, competitive positioning, and regulatory requirements to prioritize where Sokin should establish presence next. This means understanding the specific payment needs of different European markets—from SEPA Instant requirements to local clearing preferences—and translating those into clear technical and commercial requirements.

Working closely with our Banking Partnerships team, you’ll define what we need from banking relationships in each market, then collaborate on sourcing and evaluating potential partners. Once partnerships are established, you’ll work with engineering to scope and prioritize integration work, ensuring our technical implementation delivers the speed, reliability, and functionality our product roadmap requires.

You’ll own the ongoing performance and optimization of our European banking infrastructure—monitoring transaction success rates, settlement times, and costs across different corridors, then identifying opportunities for improvement. This includes working with operations and engineering to resolve technical issues, evaluating when to add redundancy or alternative routes, and making data‑driven decisions about infrastructure investments.

A critical part of this role involves staying ahead of the European payments landscape—tracking developments in instant payment schemes, open banking regulations, and emerging settlement mechanisms—then determining how these trends should influence our strategy. You’ll also gather feedback from clients and sales teams to understand where our current infrastructure is limiting growth or creating friction.

Your role as a Product Manager at Sokin:

• Define and communicate the product strategy and roadmap aligned to the companies vision and strategy.
• Conduct market research to identify customer needs and market trends.
• Work directly with a cross‑functional team of engineers to deliver value often.
• Spend time with customers to discover new product ideas, identify product improvements and validate product solutions.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams including engineering, design, marketing, and sales to understand the value, feasibility, viability and usability of solutions.
• Create and manage product roadmaps, ensuring alignment with business goals.
• Prioritize product features and requirements based on customer value and business impact.
• Work closely with product marketing and sales to launch new products to customers.
• Monitor product performance and use quantitative and qualitative insight to drive continuous improvement.
• Act as the primary point of contact for all product‑related inquiries.

We’d love to hear from you if:

• You're excited by, and have experience in, building products that customers love within the fintech space.
• You’re driven to make a difference and want to fully own your product roadmap.
• You're someone that enjoys getting into the details and understanding the mechanics of your product and the data behind it.
• You’re comfortable working closely with financial, risk, and legal stakeholders, ensuring products are designed in a user‑centric way while remaining compliant.
• Your enjoy working in cross‑functional teams alongside engineers, designers, and other functions to deliver value to users.
• You have a good understanding of technical concepts and can work closely with engineers to find the best solution to a problem.
• You love solving problems in innovative and creative ways.

Please note, candidates will need to have the right to work in the jurisdiction that they are looking to work in.
