Product Manager

The role

This role sits within the Merchant Risk Monitoring team in our Merchant Operations Group. The team is responsible for the core systems that manage our in-life merchant risk management. These systems ensure that we meet our compliance obligations and stay within our risk appetite as a business. 

In this role, you will work closely with engineers to drive product improvements that strengthen our controls whilst continuing to provide a good customer experience. You will also collaborate with teams across the organisation to ensure our capabilities scale with the needs of both customers and the business.

What excites you 

• 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.
  Problem discovery and prioritisation: Taking complex and ambiguous product problems and structuring these effectively. This includes clearly defining the problem space, the impact of the problem and your prioritisation process.
  Data-led decision-making: Using quantitative and qualitative evidence to support your decisions and opportunity identification.
  Contributing to 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. This includes growing to become the ‘go-to’ person for your product area; translating complex, technical problems into understandable concepts; and convincing stakeholders of the best approach using structured reasoning.
  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.

What excites us  

• 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.
