About the role

PaymentIQ's payment products process hundreds of millions of transactions a year for merchants worldwide. We're looking for a Director of Product to own this product area end to end: set the direction, lead a small team of product managers, and be accountable for the value these products deliver to merchants and to the business.

Key responsibilities

• Own the strategy and roadmap for your product area, from discovery through delivery and iteration.
• Lead, coach and grow a team of product managers, with a high bar for quality and ownership.
• Be accountable for the commercial results of your products: adoption, performance and revenue.
• Partner with commercial teams on demos, upsell and new business, turning customer requests into scalable product decisions rather than one-off customisation.
• Work closely with engineering on feasibility, sequencing and trade-offs.
• Monitor product health (adoption, usage, error patterns, performance at scale) and drive improvements.
• Manage key external partners and stakeholders.

Requirements

• 8+ years in product management, including 2+ years leading product managers, in payments or FinTech.
• A track record of owning high-volume, customer-facing payment products such as 3DS, tokens, API and Checkout
• Commercial instinct: comfortable owning results and talking to customers and partners.
• Strong grasp of payment flows and of working with payment providers.
• Data-driven prioritisation; able to say no and explain why.
• A hands-on leader who still writes specs and owns an initiative when needed.
• Curiosity about AI and automation in products and ways of working.
• Clear, structured communicator with leadership, engineering, commercial teams and customers.

Why join us?

• Standalone company, scale-up pace - decisions happen fast.
• Real ownership - you shape the roadmap, not just execute tickets.
• Global team, flat structure - direct access to engineering, commercial, and leadership.
• Mission: build the orchestration layer that powers resilient, intelligent payment routing.

Benefits & Perks

• Latest equipment - Get the hardware and software you need to do your best work.
• Competitive compensation - Market-rate salary, equity, and performance bonuses.
• Hybrid working model - 50% in office, the rest remote, supporting a healthy work-life balance.
• Ownership - Meaningful work with production impact across hundreds of merchants and 300+ PSPs.
