Product Manager - Internal Product

Intro into Product

We believe world-class Product Management is crucial to the continued success of our products and company. As a result, we’ve created an environment that ensures our Product Managers have the opportunity to constantly learn, are empowered to take calculated risks, and contribute to developing best practises that other companies emulate.

Our Product team is focused on three areas:

• Shaping the future of the product: As a product-led organisation, having a clear and well thought through product strategy is critical to our business. Our Product Managers are the driving force behind this strategy, and are empowered to bring it to life with their teams.

• Prioritising which problems to solve and why: We take a data-driven approach to figuring out what problems we should solve and with what priority. We give our Product Managers the space to pose the right questions and empower them to make great decisions.

• Delivering to solve these problems: We believe in a collaborative partnership where the Product team focuses on outcomes, while Engineering and Design focus on how we get there. Product’s main role in execution is to guide teams to stay on track to deliver the optimal product impact.

The Team

Internal Products exists to provide best-in-class tools and services to our business which enables GoCardless to scale quickly and cost-effectively

Examples of the work we do includes reducing fraud losses, automate billing systems and creating models to target the highest probability customers to upsell.

Why would you want to work in Internal Products?

The Internal Products division provides PMs with the opportunity to collaborate and form strong relationships with their customers - because they are in the same building. Focusing on solving problems for our organisation allows you to directly see the impact of your work and play a critical role in how we scale and become successful as a company. We work with experts across the business in areas like fraud, risk, billing, marketing and go-to-market, so PMs can build very strong domain expertise in these areas.

Desired Skills

We’re looking for people who have incredible potential. We believe great Product Managers share common characteristics, and we look for these above all else:

• Exceptional problem-solving and analytical skills: We want our Product Managers to have an outstanding ability to tackle interesting problems. At GoCardless we start by asking ‘why?’, and a data-led approach is central to how we run Product.

• Curiosity and drive: We’re after people who aren’t afraid of a challenge and will have a go, stay curious and adapt to a constantly changing environment. Our Product Managers are highly motivated to drive things to completion, delivering great impact with their teams.

• Collaborative leaders: Product roles bring responsibility without direct authority. We’re looking for leaders who can motivate and earn the trust of stakeholders and teams with a collaborative approach.

Candidates should have a track record examples of success in a challenging environment, which could be anything from software engineering through entrepreneurship to strategy consulting.
