Job description

Why This Role Matters

At Finexus, we build the technology that keeps banking and payments in Malaysia running every day, and now we are strategically expanding into retail and consumer-facing products, where clear roadmaps, data-driven strategy, and strong execution are critical. The Product Manager is central to this growth: decisions made in this role will shape what we build, why we build it, and how it delivers value to users and the business.

About the Role

You will lead the full product lifecycle: understanding the market, sizing opportunities, shaping roadmaps, driving execution, coordinating launches, and evaluating product performance.

This requires close collaboration with Engineering, UX, Business teams, and external stakeholders to ensure every product decision is user-centred, compliant, and strategically aligned with Finexus' vision. While this role is individual contributor in nature, it carries strong influence - shaping product excellence and strengthening the product mindset across the organisation.

• Improve cross-functional alignment and collaboration across Product, Engineering, UX, Marketing, and Business teams.
• Ensure successful, coordinated launches for new features and enhancements.
• Strengthen product practices and mentor team members in product thinking and execution.
