About the Client
Our client is a high-growth payment service provider (PSP) operating in high-risk verticals such as iGaming, Forex, and Crypto.
They process millions each month across cards, APMs, and crypto, building next-generation infrastructure with AI-based routing, advanced fraud prevention, and cascading systems across Europe, LATAM, and Africa.
The company is at the perfect stage- mature enough to have real traction, revenue, and merchants, yet still young enough for you to build and shape the product from scratch.
This is an opportunity to work directly with founders and a strong engineering team, owning the product end-to-end and driving measurable growth in conversion, speed, and user experience.
About the Role
The Product Owner / Product Manager will be responsible for building and scaling the company’s PSP platform, leading integrations across multiple regions and payment methods, and continuously improving conversion performance and merchant experience.
You’ll take full product ownership-from integrations, routing, and fraud rules to UX and analytics and help define how high-risk payments are done in 2025 and beyond.
Key Responsibilities
Own the end-to-end product lifecycle: roadmap, execution, delivery.
Drive payment integrations (cards, APMs, crypto) and ensure stability and scalability.
Design and optimize routing, cascading, and anti-fraud logic for multiple regions (Europe, LATAM, Africa).
Improve conversion rates, merchant onboarding time, and payment UX.
Research competitors’ PSP products and identify best practices and trends.
Collaborate closely with engineering, business development, and regional teams.
Define, track, and act on key metrics (conversion rate, NPS, latency, onboarding time).
Build and maintain a data-driven roadmap with clear priorities and measurable impact.
