The opportunity

We're partnering with a leading payments business looking for a Product Manager to own delivery across its merchant platform.

The platform helps businesses manage key parts of their payments experience, spanning onboarding, terminals, digital payments, payouts and billing.

With the strategy and roadmap established by the Senior Product Manager, you'll take ownership of execution: translating agreed priorities into deliverable releases, resolving dependencies and making the calls needed to get quality products into production.

This will suit someone who enjoys being close to engineering, understands the detail and takes satisfaction in getting things live.

What you'll own

- Backlog and delivery: Break initiatives into clear, achievable increments, prioritise the squad backlog and make day-to-day decisions on scope and sequencing.
- Release readiness: Own release planning, coordinate testing and ensure cutover, rollback and operational support are ready before launch.
- Cross-team dependencies: Work directly with product and engineering teams to resolve blockers and manage integration risks.
- Requirements and quality: Partner with Business Analysts and UX to ensure stories, acceptance criteria and designs give Engineering and QA what they need.
- Stakeholder communication: Keep operations, account management and external partners explicit on what's landing, when and what it means for them.
- Production outcomes: Lead post-release triage and use defect, incident and delivery data to improve future releases.
