Senior Product Owner | Payments | 1 year Contract

An innovative payments business is recruiting a Senior Product Owner for a one-year maternity cover contract.

The company is changing the way we move money around the world, via integration with a single API, enabling institutions, PSPs, and banks to settle FX instantly in any country.

They are a cross-border connectivity payment platform that enables rapid, cost-effective transfers between financial institutions, providing worldwide coverage through a single API integration.

Supported by Microsoft Azure infrastructure, our software and messaging network enable participants – such as banks, payment service providers, and money transfer operators – to access a global network of account providers, communicate peer-to-peer (P2P), exchange FX quotes, and send real-time (T+0) international payments. Acting as a messaging and orchestration layer, the business enables instantaneous settlement between participating financial institutions, creating seamless interoperability across borders and currencies.

The Role

We are recruiting an experienced Product Owner to help revolutionize the cross-border payments space. You will work with several engineering teams, business functions, and customers to design, build, and bring to market new product services, as well as enhance existing ones.

About you

You will be responsible for designing and delivering new product services, and enhancing existing ones. You should be skilled in working with and defining end-to-end customer journeys, able to convert these into product solutions, and have outstanding communication skills.

You will support sales and integration processes, articulating the product’s capabilities and roadmap to customers, gathering their feedback, and incorporating it into future product iterations and features.

Key responsibilities

• Define and maintain the product backlog, ensuring stories are clearly written, prioritized, and aligned with strategic goals.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to understand business needs and translate them into detailed user stories and acceptance criteria.
• Act as the primary liaison between stakeholders and the development team.
• Participate in agile ceremonies including sprint planning, daily stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectives.
• Analyze product performance metrics and customer feedback to inform future iterations.
• Communicate progress, blockers, and insights regularly to leadership and stakeholders.
• Maintain internal and external product documentation.
• Lead product demos and explain the platform and product functionality during customer calls.
• Assist in customer integrations as the point of contact from the product team.
