Product Manager - Payments

Nium was founded on the mission to build the global payments infrastructure of tomorrow, today. With the onset of the on-demand economy, its single platform for global payments and card issuing is shaping how banks, fintechs, and businesses everywhere to disburse and collect funds instantly across borders. Its payout network supports 100 currencies and spans 195+ countries, 100 of which in real-time. Funds can be disbursed to accounts, wallets, and cards and collected locally in 35 markets. Nium's growing card issuance business is already available in 34 countries. Nium holds regulatory licenses and authorizations in over 40 countries, enabling seamless onboarding, rapid integration, and compliance - regardless of geography.

Managing the payments product needs a product manager to solve problems along 3 separate and intertwined areas:

Product - Customer discovery and experience
Network - Growing and optimising coverage in terms of geography, currencies, payment methods, customer segment needs
Technology - creating and optimising technology platforms to deliver a seamless payments experience across customer segments in multiple geographies
