The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced, B2B2C environment and will be eager to engage deeply with customers to transform their needs into impactful product requirements. You have strong communication and interpersonal skills; you know how to articulate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences, and you are a natural at building collaborative relationships with cross-functional teams. You can navigate technical trade-off conversations with Engineering partners. You effectively tie prioritisation decisions back to customer and revenue impact for our Go-To-Market teams.

You have a minimum of 6 years of experience in B2B or B2B2C product management, with a proven track record of shipping high-performing products. You are comfortable writing your own SQL queries and building Mixpanel dashboards to find the data you need to inform your decisions. You instinctively find the right balance between shipping fast and shipping high quality – all without losing sight of the longer-term vision. You love talking to customers on a regular basis, and can easily synthesise customer insights with quantitative data to drive strategy and prioritisation.

You have a bias toward action – even if the problem is ambiguous, you find ways to break it down into achievable milestones and work toward clarity, but you are also not beholden to rigid processes and frameworks over getting the job done. You can debate pros and cons of different UX approaches with Design teams. You have deep industry knowledge within FinTech, particularly in the credit and risk space, working with consumer-permissioned or credit data. Prior experience as a founding PM.
