• Work closely with Engineering, Data, and Risk teams to improve decisioning, automation, and controls
• Identify opportunities to improve approval quality, reduce losses, and streamline processes

• Use data, trends, and performance insights to guide prioritisation and measure success
• Collaborate with stakeholders across the business, including compliance and operations

What they’re looking for

• ±5 years’ experience in Product Management within a complex, data-driven environment
• Background in fintech, lending, payments, fraud, or similar regulated industries
• Strong delivery capability with experience working in cross-functional teams
• Analytical mindset with the ability to translate data into clear product direction
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and balancing multiple priorities
• Exposure to decisioning systems, fraud tools, or data-led platforms is a strong plus

Why this role
This is a high-impact position where your work directly influences how the business grows, manages risk, and delivers value to customers. You’ll be working on products that matter, in a team that values ownership, speed, and smart decision-making.

It’s a great next step for someone looking to deepen their experience in fintech and take on more responsibility in a space that’s both commercially critical and technically interesting.
