Product manager - Banking Capabilities

About us:

Headquartered in London, BVNK is on a mission to make banking and payments work for crypto - the crypto market has evolved fast, and traditional finance is yet to catch up. Operating a business in both crypto and fiat today is incredibly difficult, so we’ve built a business account specifically for crypto businesses, focusing on bridging the gap between fiat and digital assets, bringing payments, trading & custody, and banking to one single platform. 

We’re a team of over 100 customer-obsessed, passionate people and are growing fast to continue solving problems for crypto businesses worldwide. Over the last two years we’ve built a culture of growth and agility, with customers at the centre of everything we do, and we believe that our people are our strongest asset. If you enjoy working in a fast-paced energetic environment, solving real-world problems,  BVNK could be a great fit for you.

About the role:

Fiat bank account is at the core of our products. It enables merchants to issue virtual IBANs to receive and send funds to their customers. The scope of the role includes building fiat payins and payouts APIs and UX based on input from our customers.  The role includes a high level of autonomy over where we drive the fiat bank account product. You will be expected to build a defensible product strategy at speed whilst working with a team of engineers, as well as a broad range of stakeholders.

Our Product and Engineering organisation is split into small autonomous teams, which are each built to be able to execute their own strategies independently whilst collaborating with the rest of the organisation. You’ll start by owning the fiat payments capabilties as we grow this vital product and will be directly responsible for the multibillion-dollar volumes we process.

As Banking Product Manager, you will:

Define the roadmap for the fiat payments capabilties and associated services, such as the tools our compliance and payments operations teams use

• Research and understand our competitors to find the right product-market fit
• Extract commercial insights from the data
• Work closely with the stakeholders from the Compliance, Finance, Legal and Banking Partnerships teams to scope the requirements for the products
• Build integrations with the banking partners in order to enable new payments capabilities on BVNK platform
• Work with the engineers in your team to scope, design, and build new features 
• Guide the team through agile ceremonies, such as planning, reviews, and retrospectives 
• Collaborate directly with the Commercial team to ensure our product is distributed and commercialised appropriately
• Contribute to our growing product-led culture across the business and within the Product team

What we need from you:

• Have experience working in a product-led company, owning a high-growth customer-facing payments or banking product
• A deep understanding of how banking and payment products function
• Experience working with engineers on a daily basis, and leading the team with context rather than authority
• Experience in establishing collaboration and building integrations with banking partners and payment method providers
• You’re customer-obsessed, always putting the customer experience first
• Strong collaboration skills - you’d consider yourself a “people person”, just as happy working with engineers on specific tasks as you are presenting to the company on KPIs and feature launches, gathering feedback from customers and the sales team, and generally working cross-functionally across the business
• Experience in a heavily data-driven environment, using data to guide decision-making at every stage of the product life cycle
• A passion for growth, obsessively focussing on how we can grow usage and adoption of our products

What you can expect from us:

• Fair and competitive salary at every stage of your growth as a Product Manager
• Meaningful ownership in the business through our employee option scheme
• Flexible working hours, with hybrid working at its heart
• A culture built on passionate growth minded people
• A flexible approach to holiday
• Opportunities to travel to our offices around the world, in locations such as London and Cape Town, to collaborate with your colleagues 
• An open and creative environment where you can help us define the future of BVNK, it’s culture, and it’s opportunity sets
