Job Description
We are seeking a Product Manager to lead the Client Balances product team, a mission-critical domain that enables our merchants to control their money in real-time. You will be responsible for scaling our ‘stored-value platform’ and launching revenue-driving products that allow our clients to manage their money directly within the Checkout.com ecosystem. The successful candidate will provide cross-functional leadership across product, engineering, and business teams, to provide our clients the best experience to store and manage their money. They will establish a robust foundation and drive the product roadmap for areas such as Balances, Reserves, Top-ups, Funds Transfers, Yield Accounts and others. Daily tasks include understanding stakeholders’ pain points, driving prioritization for product development, and developing new capabilities for our customers.
Hybrid Working Model: All of our offices globally are onsite 3 times per week (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday). We’ve worked towards enabling teams to work collaboratively in the same space, while also being able to partner with colleagues globally. During your days at the office, we offer amazing snacks, breakfast, and lunch options in all of our locations.

Work with other product and engineering leaders to ensure alignment with cross-functional roadmaps that relate to the mobile world.
