• Payment Infrastructure: Oversee payment workflows to ensure regulatory compliance while maintaining a high-quality, accessible user experience.

• Evidence-Based Discovery: Optimize conversion and monetization through A/B testing (including pricing and payment methods) to validate ideas and reduce uncertainty.

• Lifecycle Leadership: Guide cross-functional teams through the entire product lifecycle, from initial concept to high-quality launch.

• Performance Monitoring: Track product metrics and user feedback to ensure our services are constantly evolving and improving.

• Industry Expertise: Stay current on technological and regulatory shifts (like PSD2) to advocate for and implement best practices.

What We’re Looking For 🔎

• Experience: Extensive experience in Product Management, specifically within Payments, Fintech, or E-commerce Marketplaces.

• Domain Expertise: Comprehensive understanding of the payments lifecycle (Acquiring, Gateway, Escrow, Wallets) and familiarity with relevant regulations (e.g., PSD2, GDPR).

• Technical Fluency: Strong technical acumen with the ability to engage effectively with engineers on API integrations, system architecture, and transactional integrity.

• Analytical Mindset: Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to use data analysis tools to drive strategic decisions.

• Collaborative Leadership: Demonstrated experience in leading cross-functional teams to deliver successful product initiatives.

• Communication: Exceptional interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence and align stakeholders at all levels of the organization.

• Language: Proficiency in English is required; Spanish is a plus. 

What Would Be A Plus 🚀

• Background in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.

• Experience leading the development of ML-based product features or a solid understanding of how machine learning enhances payment security and personalization.

• Experience navigating the complexities of multi-currency or cross-border transactions in a marketplace setting.
