Job description

Product Owner | Remote (UK-based)

Full-time, Permanent

Up to £100,000 per annum + Benefits

Want a Product Owner role where your decisions actually make an impact?

If you want a position where you have real ownership, clear influence, and the freedom to shape both the product and the way it’s delivered, this role gives you that from day one. You’ll lead the evolution of a fintech platform used by clients in the luxury yachting industry - an underserved market with high expectations and even higher standards.

As the company’s first dedicated Product Owner, you’ll guide product direction, streamline delivery, and turn feedback into features that genuinely make users’ lives easier.

Why this role matters (for you)

• You control the roadmap and delivery – What gets built, why it matters, and how it moves the product forward.
• Your work has visible, measurable impact – The reporting platform you’ll own drives customer retention and new revenue, so your decisions directly influence growth.
• You shape the product culture – You introduce clear delivery habits, a reliable cadence, and a way of working that the entire tech function will adopt as it scales.
• You collaborate with people who value practical product thinking – Fintech specialists, ex-private bankers, yacht crew, and digital leaders rely on your judgment to solve real operational problems.
• You build on a product already delivering results – The platform is designed to help major yacht management clients cut reconciliation time, and you’ll have the opportunity to expand on features that create this kind of impact.

You’ll thrive in this role if you :

• Have fintech, e-money, or payments experience (especially card issuing or cross-border)
• Prefer autonomy over bureaucracy
• Like turning complex financial processes into simple, usable features
• Want to work somewhere fast, clear, and outcome-driven
• Care as much about user value as business value

What you’ll love

• £90–100,000 salary
• Fully remote anywhere in the UK
• Travel to yacht shows and global events
• Flexible, trust-based working culture
• Unlimited holiday (officially 28 days holiday + bank holidays with additional ‘fair use’ flexibility)
• Private healthcare (Vitality)
• Life assurance, income protection, pension
• Mental health and wellbeing support
• Company retreats and professional development
• Supportive, friendly team with no corporate ego

What you'll do

• Define the product vision and roadmap
• Lead delivery of the reporting platform that underpins the company’s growth
• Establish simple, reliable agile routines
• Work closely with Engineering, QA, and Design to establish compliant, user-friendly features
• Partner with Visa, the banking partners, and KYC / AML providers
• Use data and user insight to improve adoption, performance, and customer satisfaction

What you'll bring

• 5+ years as a Product Owner or Product Manager in fintech, e-money, or digital banking
• Experience with card issuing, EMI, or cross-border payments
• Strong knowledge of Visa / Mastercard issuing and FCA / PSD2
• Confident agile practitioner
• Comfortable with API-led products and tools like Jira, Confluence, and Figma
• Clear communicator who simplifies complexity
• Enjoys building structure in evolving environments

Additional information

• Fully remote UK role
• Overseas applicants welcome if UK citizens with NI number and UK bank account
• Flexible hours
• Ideally available in one month or less
