Fintech & Payments Mastery: You possess extensive experience of Product Management, with a heavy emphasis on the fintech domain. You understand the lifecycle of a payment transaction, from checkout to settlement, and have navigated the complexities of card schemes, local payment methods (LPMs), or core banking infrastructure.
Navigating Complex API Platforms: You have a proven ability to dive into complex technical problems—such as Platform Architecture, Scalability & API Design—and solve them without losing sight of the broader commercial strategy as a Global Product.
Proven Technical Fluency: You have proven experience of working closely with Engineering teams, allowing you to bridge the gap between business requirements and technical feasibility effectively. You have spent 70% of time with Engineering counterparts.
End-to-End Ownership: You have a track record of taking complex, high-stakes products from discovery through to delivery. You are equally comfortable writing detailed technical specifications as you are presenting a long-term roadmap to executive stakeholders.
Analytical Rigor: You are fluent in using data (ex: BigQuery, Looker) & observability tools (ex: DataDog, Grafana etc). You know how to define success metrics for backend API systems (like latency, uptime etc.) and use data to identify key improvements that lead to massive scale.
