Product Manager — Payments & Financial Services

About the role

We are looking for a Product Manager who will own our payments and financial services product area — the core of everything we do. You will define the roadmap for features that allow our customers to send money, pay bills, save, and access credit, and you will work with our engineering, design, data, and compliance teams to bring these features to market. This is a highly cross-functional role. You will spend your mornings in customer interviews and your afternoons in sprint planning and your evenings thinking about how to make the next release better than the last. You understand that great product management is equal parts empathy, analysis, and execution. You are as comfortable reading a financial services regulation as you are writing a user story or analysing a conversion funnel. Your responsibilities include: owning the product roadmap for our payments and savings feature area, writing clear and detailed PRDs that give engineers full context without over-constraining solutions, running structured discovery processes including customer interviews and usability testing, defining and tracking success metrics for every feature, coordinating with our Central Bank of Kenya compliance team on regulatory requirements, managing partner relationships with banks and mobile money providers, and prioritising ruthlessly against a constantly growing backlog. You have at least three years of product management experience, ideally in fintech, payments, or financial services. You understand how M-Pesa integrations work, what STK Push and B2C transfers are, and why reconciliation is hard. You have experience with A/B testing and you make decisions with data, not instinct alone. You are a clear and persuasive communicator who can align a diverse set of stakeholders around a shared vision. We offer a competitive salary, equity, medical cover, and the chance to shape products that are genuinely changing how Africans manage their money.
