• Drive optimisation of FX, pricing, and liquidity management across corridors
• Partner with Engineering, Compliance, Treasury, and Operations to deliver scalable, compliant solutions
• Own product discovery, translating customer and market needs into impactful features
• Improve payment speed, success rates, and cost efficiency across global corridors
• Ensure alignment with regulatory frameworks (e.g. AML, KYC, local payment schemes)
• Mentor product managers and contribute to product best practices and culture

What We’re Looking For

• 8+ years in Product Management, with significant experience in payments or fintech
• Deep understanding of cross-border payments, including SWIFT, local rails, FX, and settlement processes
• Experience building or scaling payment platforms, APIs, or financial infrastructure
• Strong knowledge of regulatory environments (AML, KYC, PSD2 or equivalent)
• Proven track record of delivering complex, high-impact products at scale
• Data-driven mindset with strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Excellent stakeholder management across technical and non-technical teams

Nice to Have

• Experience with real-time payments / alternative rails
• Exposure to multi-currency wallets or treasury systems
• Background in high-growth or scaling fintech environments
