Drive the Future of FX: Product Owner, FX Squad at Navro

We’re Navro, a rapidly scaling B2B payments startup, and we’re looking for an enthusiastic, driven, organised, detailed, and self-starter Product Owner to spearhead our Orion (FX) Squad. This is your chance: you’ll shape our market position in foreign exchange, set the vision for critical FX products, and make decisions that impact the entire business. You won’t have layers of approval slowing you down. You will have the freedom to make real, impactful decisions from day one. This isn’t a passenger role. We’re bringing you in for your expertise, and your relentless drive.

You will be responsible for understanding both internal and external Navro client needs related to foreign exchange and translating these needs into clear, detailed requirements for the Navro development team focused on FX capabilities.

Who We Are

We are transforming payments for global platforms and e-commerce businesses. As the world’s first payments curation platform, we simplify cross-border transactions by uniting best-in-class infrastructure into a seamless ecosystem, enabling businesses to scale and operate effortlessly across borders. Cross-border workforce payments are slow, expensive, and outdated. We can’t be. Businesses rely on us to pay their people accurately and on time - contractors, freelancers, and employees across the globe. When we say we’ll deliver, failure isn’t an option. If we don’t do what we said we would, people don’t get paid - not just a transaction delayed, but real workers left without wages. That means a developer in Argentina missing their paycheck, a freelancer in the Philippines unable to pay rent, or a contractor in Poland unable to get to work. No excuses. No passengers. No tolerance for politics or mediocrity.

Meet your Squad: Orion (FX)

As the Product Owner for the Orion (FX) Squad, you'll be at the heart of our foreign exchange capabilities. This new squad is responsible for everything FX-related, including:

• Developing and managing our internal FX Blotter for reporting and trade visualisation.
• Building and enhancing our core currency exchange services.
• Spearheading the integration into partner bank FX platforms and liquidity providers.
• Ensuring our FX solutions are robust, scalable, and meet the complex needs of our global clients.

Requirements

What This Role Demands:

You Own It – You’re accountable for the FX product vision, every feature, every prioritisation decision, and every outcome. If the strategy misses or a feature doesn't deliver, it’s on you to analyse, adapt, and fix it.

You Ask the Hard Questions – You don’t just gather requirements for FX solutions; you challenge assumptions, explore innovative approaches, push boundaries, and make our FX products industry-leading. Why this FX partner? Why this pricing model? How can we make this faster, cheaper, better?

You Fix What’s Broken – No waiting for permission. If an FX process is clunky, data is inconsistent, or an integration isn't optimal, you dive in, collaborate, and drive the solution.

You’re Hands-On – One minute you’re defining the strategy for a new currency corridor, the next you’re deep-diving into API documentation from an FX provider, validating user stories with engineers, or mapping complex payment flows.

You Thrive in Chaos – Startups can be messy. FX markets are dynamic. Requirements change, priorities shift, and ambiguity is constant. You bring clarity, structure, and direction to the FX domain without getting bogged down by rigid processes.

You Handle the Pressure – Fast-paced. High stakes. You’ll balance multiple FX projects, manage tight timelines, and keep the Orion squad moving forward relentlessly.

You’re Here for the Journey – This is career-defining. It’s hard, rewarding, and not for the faint-hearted. If you’re ready to grow alongside Navro, let’s build something amazing together.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Be the vital bridge between Business, Commercial, Operations, and Technology teams on the ideation, prioritisation, development, and delivery of core FX features and banking integrations within our platform.
• Actively contribute to the overall product strategy, deeply representing the unique requirements and opportunities within the FX and cross-border payments domain.
• Own, nurture, and meticulously manage the product backlog for the Orion (FX) squad, covering all areas related to banking partner integrations, cross-border payment flows, FX services, currency management, and related enterprise-level SaaS functionalities.
• Drive the creation and release of high-level requirements, epics, and detailed user stories that deliver demonstrable value, business impact, and exceptional customer experiences in the FX space.
• Collaborate intensely with engineering, design, and QA to ensure FX products are built to specification and high-quality standards.
• Champion the voice of the customer and the market, ensuring our FX solutions solve real-world problems for our global clients.
• Continuously monitor FX market trends, competitor activities, and regulatory changes to inform product strategy and identify new opportunities.

What We’re Looking For:

Experienced FinTech Product Owner (2+ years): Solid grasp of global payouts, cross-border payments, FX, and APMs, with expertise in payment/FX operations, international banking, accounting, and reconciliation.

Strategic FX Innovator: Proven track record developing market-leading FX/international payment propositions that drive growth. Deep understanding of enterprise B2B SaaS (scalability, security, integration).

Integration & Agile Pro: Experienced in integrating with banking partners/FX liquidity providers. Agile/Scrum expert skilled in backlog management and sprint planning.

Master Collaborator & Influencer: Works seamlessly across diverse teams (engineering, sales, ops, compliance) and inspires stakeholders.

Analytical & Detail-Oriented Leader: Strong problem-solving skills, decisive, meticulous, and adept at translating complex business needs into clear technical requirements (epics, user stories).

Customer & FX Champion: The go-to for FX features, relentlessly advocating for the end-user.

Tool Savvy: Proficient with Aha! or similar roadmapping tools, Jira, Confluence, Lucidchart (or similar).

Bonus Points (Additional Desirable Skills):

• General familiarity with GitHub and build pipelines for microservices-based platforms.
• Solid understanding of JSON data formats.
• Experience working with RESTful APIs, including understanding endpoint usage for data exchange and appraising API documentation.
• Proficiency in creating and maintaining detailed product documentation (user stories, acceptance criteria) that bridges business needs with technical implementation.
• Hands-on experience with API testing tools (e.g., Postman) to ensure API functionality and performance.

You may not possess every single required skill listed, and that's perfectly fine. If you have most of them, along with grit, passion, a desire to learn quickly, and the willingness to get stuck in, we encourage you to apply.

• Lead and Shape the Future: This is your chance to build and grow a market from zero to one.
• Make Real Impact: Your decisions will directly shape Navro’s growth journey.
• Innovative Environment: Be at the forefront of Fintech innovation and payments disruption.
• Career-Defining Role: This isn’t just another job. It’s a legacy.
