About the Role

Define the product vision, set the strategy, and drive execution at scale for a 175+ year old financial services brand serving customers in over 30 countries. This high-impact leadership role balances long-term vision with hands-on execution, shaping core remittance experiences and building new products to meet customer needs.

Responsibilities

  • Set ambitious EU product strategy, defining and owning the roadmap for best-in-class remittance products and beyond (wallets, banking, etc.), aligned with customer growth and engagement.
  • Lead a team of product managers, analysts, and designers, raising the bar on product craft, data rigor, customer centricity, and problem-solving.
  • Champion AI tooling within teams to increase velocity and quality by accelerating research, prototyping, experimentation, and decision-making.
  • Drive new customer growth through better onboarding, funnel optimization, referrals, lifecycle engagement, and localized experiences across European corridors.
  • Improve retention with delightful products, reducing friction and increasing clarity on pricing, merchandising, network, and delivery times.
  • Build for high-band senders by shaping a differentiated proposition for larger transfers, including tailored verification journeys, premium features, loyalty, and support.
  • Lead cross-functional execution with engineering, design, marketing, compliance, risk, and global product teams.
  • Expand beyond remittances by diversifying into adjacent financial services that deepen customer relationships and lifetime value.

Requirements

  • Strategic execution at scale: A rare combination of clear, high-level vision and the discipline to deliver consistently across a complex, multi-country scope.
  • Willingness to go deep into the details, remove friction, and drive high-quality outcomes at pace.
  • Proven product leadership: Significant experience in digital product management within fintech, cross-border payments, neo-banking, or high-growth consumer digital platforms.
  • Customer centricity: Ability to translate insights into simple, trusted, high-performing digital experiences.
  • Growth and CRO Expertise: Strong expertise in growth, CRO, onboarding, localization, experimentation, and funnel analytics.
  • Exceptional Communication: The ability to influence cross-functional executives, navigate a highly matrixed global organization, and advocate passionately for European customers.
