Product Manager - Orchestration

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Product Manager - Orchestration based in the United Kingdom. The role sits at the heart of a highly technical orchestration platform powering global payments at scale. You will own a defined sub-area of the orchestration layer, shaping how payments are routed, retried, authenticated, and optimized across multiple providers and markets. The work directly impacts conversion, authorization rates, and revenue performance for global merchants. You will operate in a remote-first, globally distributed environment that values written thinking and deep ownership. The role requires strong technical intuition, as you will work closely with engineers on complex payment flows and system trade-offs. You will be expected to define problems independently, not just execute on a roadmap. This is a high-impact product space where small decisions can move real money and measurable performance outcomes.

Accountabilities

• You will own the outcomes of a dedicated sub-area within the orchestration layer, driving impact across multiple quarters rather than focusing on short-term delivery.
• Define and refine problem spaces by synthesizing merchant feedback, payment performance data, provider behavior, and platform constraints.
• Own end-to-end product execution including prioritization, planning, delivery, and iteration across complex payment flows.
• Write detailed product specifications covering routing logic, fallback behavior, authentication flows, and provider-specific edge cases.
• Partner closely with engineering to evaluate feasibility, trade-offs, and system design decisions in a highly technical environment.
• Define and track success metrics such as authorization rate, conversion, latency, and cost efficiency.
• Lead launch readiness and continuously iterate post-launch based on real-world performance data.
• Communicate product decisions clearly across engineering, design, and go-to-market teams, translating complexity into clarity.

Requirements

• You bring strong product ownership experience with a track record of delivering meaningful outcomes in complex technical environments.
• Proven experience owning a product area or significant feature set end-to-end with measurable business or user impact.
• Ability to independently define and structure ambiguous problem spaces without relying on predefined requirements.
• Strong capability in making autonomous trade-offs across scope, technical debt, quality, and delivery timelines.
• Technical fluency to effectively collaborate with engineers on system design, APIs, integrations, and orchestration logic.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills to align cross-functional teams and surface risks early.
• Experience working in data-informed environments and defining success metrics is highly valuable.
• Prior exposure to fintech, payments, routing, authentication, or PSP integrations is a strong plus.

Benefits

• Fully remote and globally distributed work environment.
• Competitive share options.
• Uncapped holiday with a minimum of 25 days encouraged.
• Co-working space access.
• Workations and annual company retreats.
• High-quality equipment provided for your role.
• Home office setup budget support.
• Generous learning and development budget.
• Private medical insurance.
• Additional perks and benefits depending on location.
