ABOUT US

We’re the world’s leading provider of secure financial messaging services, headquartered in Belgium. We are the way the world moves value – across borders, through cities and overseas.

We’re unique too. We were established to find a better way for the global financial community to move value – a reliable, safe and secure approach that the community can trust, completely. We’re always striving to be better and are constantly evolving in an ever-changing landscape, without undermining that trust. Five decades on, our vibrant community reflects the complexity and diversity of the financial ecosystem. We innovate diligently, test exhaustively, then implement fast. In a connected and exciting era, our mission has never been more relevant. Swift now has a presence in 200+ countries and legal territories to serve a community of more than 12,000 banks and financial institutions.

Competency Profile

• Proven experience in product management, with a strong emphasis on go-to-market (GTM) strategies and execution.
• Skilled in developing and implementing strategic plans for product positioning, pricing, and launch strategies.
• Experience in working on cross-border payments, including familiarity with ‘Currency Guides’ is a plus.
• Collect business requirements, from internal stakeholders and customers.
• Liaise with Support on customer queries and support cases.
• Must be a problem solver. Must have the ability to proactively identify and resolve issues, including unique, complex problems. This includes the ability to prioritise effectively.

• Experience with Agile Tools (JIRA, Confluence, BitBucket) and visualisation tools such as Tableau, Microstrategy and Excel are an advantage.
• Experience working with SwiftRef data or demonstrate familiarity with payment reference data in general. For example, SSIs or regulatory payment purpose codes is an advantage.
