The Purpose
As a Product Manager in PPRO’s Local Payments Domain, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the payment experiences for our customers and partners, ensuring seamless, compliant, and efficient access to local payment methods. You will drive product discovery and delivery, working at the intersection of Engineering, Marketing, Risk, and Commercial teams to enable seamless adoption of local payment methods to some of the world’s leading fintechs, PSPs, and merchants.
Product Managers at PPRO have the passion and abilities for ensuring that we focus our time and energy on building the right things for our customers. You will inform the strategy, communicate with all relevant stakeholders and lead effective product discoveries with your team. Our mission is to make local payment methods as ubiquitous and accessible as credit cards. You will own and develop a portfolio of Local Payments integrations, engaging with schemes, defining a strong value proposition, and validating and setting success metrics.
In this impactful and highly visible role, you will own key business opportunities and product initiatives related to the portfolio, orchestrating flows, fine tuning the user experience, and co-creating new features together with the schemes and our customers. Your work will directly impact PPRO’s ability to scale globally by increasing adoption, improving success rates, and driving the commercial and technical integration of high-value local payment products.

Collaborate cross-functionally
– work closely with Compliance, Risk, Sales, and Customer Success teams to refine payment requirements, implement new features, and understand business needs.
• Inform the roadmap planning and lead the execution for key initiatives, such as the strategic integration of new local payment methods, optimization of existing flows, and co-creation of new products with schemes.
•
Be a thought leader in local payments
– stay ahead of regulatory changes, market trends, and best practices to keep PPRO at the forefront of effective, efficient, and accessible payments across the world.
