Director of Transaction Products and Payments

We’re currently partnering with a high-growth digital banking business undergoing a significant evolution of its everyday banking and payments offering.

As part of this journey, they’re looking to appoint a Director of Transaction Products & Payments to take ownership of a core product portfolio and help shape the next phase of growth.

The role

This is a senior product leadership position with end-to-end accountability across a suite of transaction banking and payments products.

You’ll be responsible for setting the product vision, strategy and roadmap, while also owning commercial outcomes and leading a team of product managers to deliver against it.

The remit spans three key areas:

• Strategy & vision – defining the future direction of the product portfolio, informed by market trends, customer needs and competitive positioning
• Commercial ownership – driving performance across key metrics including growth, revenue and customer outcomes
• Leadership & influence – working closely with senior stakeholders across the business to align priorities and execute at pace

This is not just a delivery role, it’s about shaping, influencing and evolving the product set at a portfolio level.

What we’re looking for

We’re open to a range of profiles, but typically you’ll bring:

• Strong experience across transactional banking, payments or everyday banking products
• A background in product management with end-to-end ownership (strategy through to delivery and outcomes)
• Demonstrated ability to think beyond individual products and operate at a portfolio level
• Exposure to commercial accountability (e.g. growth, P&L, performance metrics)
• Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders and navigate complex environments
• Experience leading or mentoring product managers (or readiness to step into this)

Importantly, this role would suit someone who is:

• Either already operating at a senior level, or
• A high-performing Lead / Senior Product Manager ready to step up

Why this role?

• Opportunity to own a critical product portfolio within a growing digital bank
• Clear runway for longer-term progression and increased scope
• High visibility role with exposure to senior leadership and strategic decision-making
• A chance to shape the future of payments and transaction banking in a modern environment
