Technical Product Manager | Platform

About Apron 

Apron was started by a group of people who’d spent years building products for global fintech companies. But there was one big problem no one was solving — business payments. Payments that keep suppliers happy and businesses running. Payments that should be simple but aren't. Apron is here to change that.

Apron is a payments powerhouse, transforming the payment experience from a blocker to a booster of business. We integrate seamlessly into workflows, optimise payment processes, and free up valuable time for entrepreneurs, bookkeepers, and accountants.

We are backed by Index Ventures and Bessemer Venture Partners.

• 3+ years of experience in a technical product management role, ideally within a fintech or SaaS company.

• Experience working in a Product Led environment, with a solid grasp of product team structures and methodologies.

• Familiarity with SQL, large datasets, and analytics tools to support decision-making.

• Ability to facilitate cross-functional collaboration and ensure smooth platform operations across teams.
