Collaborate with Regulatory, Compliance, and Risk teams to understand market-specific requirements and embed them into the product.
Partner with the Programme Manager, Solution Engineering, and Sales to ensure new card programmes are onboarded smoothly and leverage existing platform capabilities.
Define and monitor key card product KPIs (approval rates, dispute rates, time-to-card, revenue per card) and drive data-informed improvements.
Write precise product requirements, API specs, and user stories for engineering teams building card authorisation, clearing, settlement, and lifecycle management flows.

6+ years of product management experience, with at least 3 years in card issuance, card processing, or a closely adjacent payments domain.
Hands-on experience with card scheme protocols (Visa and/or Mastercard), transaction lifecycles (authorisation, clearing, settlement, chargebacks), and ISO 8583 messaging.
Demonstrated ability to write detailed technical specifications and work shoulder-to- shoulder with engineering and architecture teams.
Proven track record of launching and scaling card products internationally across multiple markets and regulatory environments.
Experience at a card issuer processor or a card network.
