The ideal candidate will have the following:
- You have 6+ years’ experience in a software product management role
- You have successfully developed from scratch and launched at least one product in the banking, payments or fintech space
- Strong understanding of APIs; experience in API usage is mandatory.
- Strong understanding of major payment rails including FPS, CHAPS, SWIFT and SEPA
- You're that individual that the dev team refers to as the 'business person' but the business team refers to as the ‘tech person'. You're the bridge between those two worlds and you're perfectly comfortable with being treated as such.
- You’re naturally curious about solving customer problems and can quickly follow through on your ideas
- You’re focussed on outcomes rather than outputs and can judge a product or feature’s business viability and customer desireability in a matter of minutes
- You have a very good sense of UX which manifests itself in your tendency to draw a wireframe or a diagram first, and only then talk/write about it
- You embrace change and you have first hand experience of leading cross functional teams using agile methodologies (e.g. Scrum, Lean, XP)
- You're exceptionally good at synthesizing and conceptualizing information, be it verbally or in writing. The user stories that you’ve written are a perfect example of this.
- You have written a product requirements spec for a software product at least once in your career, and consider it to be a big deal - a natural extension of your product vision
- You're a self-starter, capable of working autonomously with minimal supervision but you're also a team player at heart
- You thrive in dynamic, fast paced and highly ambiguous work environments where the answer to a question may not be immediately available and requires a great deal of persistence and perseverance to obtain
