Job Description
The Role: Consumer Finance AppThe Consumer team drives high-performing, delightful payment experiences through our Connect suite, including flagship products like Flow and Remember Me.As we expand our ecosystem, we are looking for a Staff Product Manager to lead a new consumer financial product — one that deepens Checkout.com's consumer relationships beyond the checkout moment. This is an early-stage, high-impact role: you will be building from the ground up, with the ambition to reach significant consumer scale within 12–18 months.The product sits at the intersection of consumer finance, regulated financial services, and Checkout.com's merchant network — and is designed to create a virtuous flywheel between merchants and consumers.Key Responsibilities- Product Strategy & Roadmap: Define and execute the product strategy for a regulated consumer financial product. Own the roadmap from internal alpha through to public launch, making sharp scope decisions at every phase.
- 0-to-1 Execution: Drive a phased rollout — from a small internal group today to broader scale. Ship fast, build the right feedback loops, and make the product progressively ready for public launch.
- Regulatory & Compliance: Partner with Legal and Compliance to ensure the product meets FCA requirements for e-money issuance and financial services in the UK. Navigate KYC/AML flows, Consumer Duty obligations, and SCA compliance without compromising the consumer experience.
- Consumer Economics: Own the commercial model for consumer engagement — including incentives, retention economics, and the path to a financially sustainable product. Decisions connect to the P&L, not just the roadmap.
- Cross-Functional Leadership: Align a broad set of internal partners — Engineering, Risk, Compliance, Treasury, Marketing, and Care — behind a shared plan across multiple concurrent workstreams.
- Consumer Obsession: Define and track consumer-facing KPIs — activation, engagement, and retention. Build the feedback loop from early users into the product iteration cycle
- Proven 0-to-1 experience: 5–7 years of Product Management, with a track record of taking a consumer fintech product from early-stage build to public launch.
- Consumer fintech domain depth: Strong understanding of regulated consumer financial products — accounts, cards, KYC/AML flows, and FCA-regulated consumer experiences.
- Commercially literate: Able to model the economics of a consumer product and connect roadmap decisions to P&L outcomes.
- Regulatory literacy: Comfortable navigating FCA e-money frameworks and Consumer Duty. You know when to involve Legal and how to build compliance into the product without breaking the experience.
- Execution-first mindset: Operates well with ambiguity and incomplete information. Knows how to move fast in a small team while building foundations for scale.
- High-EQ cross-functional operator: Can align engineering, design, legal, risk, and treasury behind a plan — without direct authority over any of them.
