Product Manager – Remittances

📍 Cape Town | Full-time | On-site

A fast-growing, purpose-led fintech is looking for a Product Manager to take ownership of its international money transfer product.

This organisation operates at the intersection of technology, regulation, and real human impact – enabling individuals to move money across borders quickly, securely, and affordably. With a strong social mission and an international footprint, the team is building scalable infrastructure that supports thousands of customers globally.

The Opportunity

This is not a maintenance role.

You will own and shape a live, high-volume remittance product operating across multiple markets, currencies, payout methods, and regulatory environments.

You’ll sit at the heart of the money movement engine – driving strategy, improving transaction success rates, expanding into new corridors, strengthening integrations, and continuously refining the end-to-end customer journey.

If you enjoy complexity, scale, and solving meaningful financial problems, this role gives you full exposure to:

Cross-border payments infrastructure
Mobile money and banking integrations
Compliance and KYC frameworks
Conversion optimisation and funnel analytics
Market expansion strategy

You will work closely with engineering (frontend and backend), payments specialists, compliance, operations, and customer support to deliver a fast, intuitive, and highly reliable transfer experience.

Your decisions will directly impact payout speed, reliability, customer trust, and commercial growth.

What You’ll Be Driving

Improvements to onboarding, transaction success rates, and payout speed
Expansion into new corridors and payout partners
Reduced friction in the send journey through UX and flow optimisation
Scalable, resilient payments and settlement infrastructure
Strong regulatory and risk alignment across markets
Data-led experimentation to improve conversion and retention
Root-cause analysis on failed or delayed transfers
Competitive positioning against global remittance leaders

This role requires strategic thinking, operational awareness, and the ability to move between high-level product vision and detailed execution.

What We’re Looking For

2-4 years’ Product Management experience
Background in payments, remittances, fintech, mobile money, or cross-border money movement
Strong understanding of settlement flows, payments infrastructure, and compliance requirements
Experience working across both frontend and backend product development
Comfortable using analytics to drive prioritisation and product decisions
Clear communicator who can align technical and non-technical stakeholders

If you’re looking for a product role where you own meaningful infrastructure, influence growth strategy, and build something that genuinely improves financial access – this is a strong next step.
