This role will be working at the heart of the GoCardless product in our Payment Flows team, within the Bank Payment Network Group. The team ensures that merchant money is settled quickly, with high certainty, on every payment scheme we provide. You will define and build propositions that provide market leading outcomes: building the capabilities to settle money faster, leveraging ML to confirm payments sooner, and unlocking payment capabilities that give merchants the best experience.
The Senior Product Manager will work closely with the team’s Engineering Manager and Data Scientist to lead the product improvements that help our customers and drive revenue. You will also collaborate closely with Product Marketing, Customer Success, and other Product teams to achieve great outcomes for our customers and work towards our product vision.
- Delivering customer and business value: Being relentlessly focused on understanding and solving the customer problems which result in them using GoCardless as much as they can.

- Data-led decision-making: Using quantitative and qualitative evidence to support your decisions and opportunity identification.
- Defining Product Strategy: Identifying key customer segments, and our approach to meeting their needs over the longer term in ways that create value for them and GoCardless
- Influencing and communication: Building collaborative relationships with your team, stakeholders and executives to deliver change effectively across your remit.

- Leadership: Setting direction and coordinating action across a range of teams and functions
- Shipping stuff: Working with your team to support changes to completion, delivering consistent positive impact across your product area. Being comfortable delivering a range of projects: from MVP experiments testing a hypothesis to a new feature.
- Delivery of impact: You are focused on delivering business value through experimentation and have experience of doing that.
- Exceptional problem-solving and analytical skills: We want our Product Managers to have an outstanding ability to tackle valuable customer and business problems. At GoCardless we start by asking ‘why?’, and a data-led approach is central to how we run Product. You have a customer centric approach and are comfortable with qualitative and quantitative analysis.
- High agency: We’re after people who aren’t afraid of a challenge and will take ownership of problems they come across and help to resolve them and adapt to a constantly changing environment.
- Collaborative leaders: Product roles bring responsibility without direct authority. We’re looking for leaders who can motivate and earn the trust of stakeholders and teams with a collaborative approach.
We don’t expect you to meet every requirement. If you’re excited by this role, we encourage you to apply.
