What We Are Looking For You have 3–5 years of experience in Product Management specifically within the Payments sector. You have a proven track record of delivering measurable results for both users and the business. You are comfortable reading and writing API documentation and have a knack for absorbing complex technical concepts and communicating them clearly to non-technical stakeholders. You care deeply about how your products work and how to measure long-term impact. You know every step of the funnel and can design, run, and interpret experiments or A/B tests to optimize it. You are just as comfortable white-boarding a completely new experience as you are optimizing an existing flow, and you have the intuition to know when to do which.
