Senior Product Manager Home Based in London

Building the Future of Open Finance. Payward - the parent company behind Kraken, NinjaTrader, Breakout, xStocks, Payward Services and CF Benchmarks - has spent the last 15 years building one of the most modern and globally accessible financial infrastructure platforms in the industry, built to advance an open, global financial system.

It offers spot trading, margin, futures, staking, and OTC services, with products built for both individual investors and institutional clients. We are currently seeking an experienced Product Manager to join our growing Payments & Blockchain team to be focused on unlocking faster, easier, and more reliable access to our platform across global markets.

By owning a portfolio of payment rails - both by method and geography - you’ll directly influence how customers make payments to and from their accounts, and how efficiently those flows scale with the business. The Payments & Blockchain team is responsible for the first and last mile of every dollar (digital or fiat) that goes in or out of Kraken.

As a member of this team, you will be responsible for driving initiatives that enable best in class local payments, improve success rates, reduce friction in user journeys, and generally adapt our payments infrastructure to meet the diverse needs of users - from first-time retail customers to high-volume institutional partners. This is an opportunity to lead cross-functional efforts spanning backend integrations, partner onboarding, frontend UX, and compliance-sensitive flows for all Kraken users alike.

By owning a portfolio of payment rails—both by method and geography—you’ll directly influence how customers fund and withdraw from their accounts, and how efficiently those flows scale with the business. You’ll collaborate deeply with engineering, design, fraud, and compliance teams to ensure that payment experiences are high-performing, secure, and built for scale.

• Own and evolve a set of payment rails across both specific methods and geographic regions
• Lead partner integrations and manage relationships with payment processors, acquirers, and banking partners
• Collaborate with fraud and compliance teams to ensure payment flows meet security, regulatory, and operational standards
• Drive UX enhancements through structured experimentation and customer insights
• Use data to inform prioritization, track performance, and iterate toward better outcomes

3+ years of product management experience, with a focus on payments, fintech, or financial infrastructure.

• Deep domain expertise in payment systems and rails, including bank transfers, card networks, and/or alternative payment methods
• Collaborative and effective across engineering, design, fraud, compliance, and operations
• Comfortable working with data to define and measure product impact
