Cross-functional Collaboration

Work closely with technology teams to translate product requirements into technical specifications and ensure timely and high-quality delivery of features. Collaborate with user experience experts to design intuitive and user-friendly interfaces. Partner with marketing and commercial teams to develop go-to-market strategies and drive adoption of our card acquiring solutions.

Performance Monitoring and Optimization

Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the success of our card acquiring products and regularly monitor performance against these metrics. Use data-driven insights to identify areas for optimization and drive continuous improvement initiatives.

Compliance and Risk Management

Stay abreast of regulatory requirements and industry standards related to card acquiring services, ensuring our products remain compliant and mitigate any associated risks.

Customer Engagement and Support

Act as a champion for our customers, soliciting feedback and actively engaging with key stakeholders to understand their needs and address any pain points or challenges they may encounter with our card acquiring solutions.

Training and knowledge sharing

Provide comprehensive training sessions or workshops to educate different departments about the intricacies of card acquiring. Encourage knowledge sharing by facilitating regular forums, or collaborative platforms where teams can share insights, experiences, and lessons learned related to card acquiring. Foster a culture of continuous learning and cross-functional collaboration.

You are an ideal candidate if you have

Bachelor's degree in business, Finance, Computer Science, or a related field. MBA or advanced degree preferred.

Minimum of 6 years of product management experience in the fintech or payments industry, with a focus on card acquiring or payment processing.

Strong understanding of payment processing technologies, card networks, and industry regulations. Experience with API integration and SaaS products is a plus.

Experience in fraud monitoring and prevention within the payment processing industry. Knowledge of fraud detection tools and techniques is essential.

Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities, with a data-driven approach to decision-making.

Superior verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex concepts to diverse audiences.

Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.

Deep empathy for customer needs and a passion for creating exceptional user experiences.

Familiarity with product management tools (e.g., Jira, Trello, Asana), analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics, Mixpanel), and relevant programming languages or platforms.

Your skills and competencies

You eagerly embrace change, absorb cross-functional skills, and connect ideas across disciplines to drive fresh thinking and innovation.

Ability to initiate, develop, maintain and leverage outstanding relationships to influence a wide network, both inside and outside the company.

A trailblazer who steps up, takes charge, and creates meaningful impact—those driven by performance and purpose to lead from the front and make a real difference every day.

You thrive in collaboration, embrace inclusion, and bring a genuine curiosity for global cultures—valuing collective success over individual credit.

Demonstrate strategic foresight, sound judgement, and the ability to make confident decisions under uncertainty, always working toward the best possible outcomes.

You challenge norms, champion innovation, and constantly seek growth—for themselves, their team, and the solutions they build.

You are a decisive doer—those who take initiative, follow through with confidence, and ensure results through courageous, hands-on leadership.

We value optimism, agility, and the strength to persevere under pressure—balancing performance with positivity, even in challenging environments.

You are driven, proactive individuals who take ownership, face challenges with grit, and consistently push for excellence—not just as participants, but as catalysts for success.
