Product Manager

About Us

OpenFX is on a mission to move money as freely as data, unrestricted by time zones, banking hours, or legacy systems. We are building the infrastructure that will power the next generation of cross-border payment systems for institutions. The team's execution has been exceptional, and we're scaling at a remarkable pace. Our stellar early team comes with experience in companies like J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, FalconX, Paypal, Affirm, Polygon, Kraken, Nium & others. We’re backed by Accel, Lightspeed, NfX and other top-tier investors.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Product Manager to own currency expansion across Europe. Every new currency unlocks new corridors for our institutional clients, directly driving trading volume and revenue. Your mandate is to scale aggressively across the region: sourcing liquidity providers, standing up settlement rails with banking partners, navigating jurisdiction-specific compliance, and ensuring every currency you launch meets the reliability bar our clients expect.

You will run your regional currency roadmap with independence. You will set pricing. You will prioritize engineering effort. You report to the PM for Payments & Currencies, who sets strategic prioritization for which currencies matter most based on payout corridor relevance. You own the how and the when.

If you have shipped cross-border payment products, worked with banking or card network infrastructure, or built API-driven financial products across jurisdictions, this role will feel familiar. The difference is you will be doing it at the frontier of stablecoin-settled FX infrastructure, where the rails are new and the playbook is yours to write.

What You'll Actually Do

• Own Corridor Launch. You own every currency in your European pipeline from Alpha through General Availability. You track Liquidity Partner onboarding, settlement rail readiness, compliance clearance, operational setup and pricing. You run readiness reviews, maintain the launch checklist, and make the go/no-go call. Nothing goes live in Europe without your sign-off.
• Prioritize Engineering. You work with engineers to deliver against your roadmap. You write specs, set sprint priorities, and partner with your EM to ensure capacity is allocated to the highest-impact currencies.
• Work Directly with LPs and Banking Partners. You are the product voice in LP onboarding and banking partner discussions. You understand what it takes to stand up a new currency pair technically, what banking partners need to enable settlement, and how to translate partner constraints into product decisions. You set pricing for new pairs and run pricing experiments to drive volume.
• Navigate Multi-Market Regulatory Complexity. Each currency comes with jurisdiction-specific compliance requirements across the UK, EU, and broader European markets. You work with Legal and Regulatory to understand what is needed, translate requirements into engineering and product decisions, and ensure no currency launches without clearance.
• Drive Post-Launch Adoption. A currency is not done at launch. You track whether clients are actually trading new corridors, partner with GTM to drive activation, identify friction points, and feed insights back into prioritization.
• Build the Regional Launch Playbook. You build a repeatable, documented process for launching currencies across Europe, covering every dependency, gate criterion, and handoff. You iterate on it after every launch so the next 15 currencies follow a predictable path.

What Success Looks Like

• Launch Discipline: You reduce average time from Alpha to GA by establishing a repeatable process. Every currency that reaches GA has passed all readiness criteria. No launch is rolled back due to missed dependencies, incomplete rails, or compliance gaps.
• OKR Delivery: You hit currency expansion targets for Europe on time and to the quality bar required for institutional clients.
• Post-Launch Activation: Average currencies traded per client increases quarter over quarter in your corridors. You can point to specific actions you took to drive adoption.
• Engineering Partnership: Engineering ships consistently against the roadmap. Your EM considers you a strong product partner who provides clear specs, makes decisive trade-offs, and shields the team from churn.

Requirements

• 5+ years of Product Management experience. You have owned a complex, multi-dependency delivery process in a B2B or infrastructure product. You can describe a time you coordinated multiple teams toward a shared launch and what you did when dependencies broke down.
• Cross-border payments or financial infrastructure context. You have worked on payments, FX, card networks, or digital asset products where moving money across borders was the core problem. You understand settlement, liquidity provisioning, and compliance clearance from hands-on experience.
• Multi-market product experience. You have shipped products across multiple countries or regulatory jurisdictions. You know that launching in a new market means regulatory navigation, banking partner onboarding, and market-specific constraints that shape timelines.
• Operational rigour. You maintain systems to track complex, multi-dependency workflows. You build the checklist, follow up on the open item, and catch the gap before it becomes a blocker.

Preferred

• European corridor knowledge: Experience with European payment rails (SEPA, SEPA Instant, Faster Payments, CHAPS), regulatory environments (FCA, EU PSD2/PSD3, MiCA), or banking partner ecosystems across the UK and EU.
• Card network or payment scheme background: Experience at a card network, payment scheme, or large-scale processor with multi-market product launches.
• Stablecoin or digital asset rails: Familiarity with stablecoin settlement, on/off-ramp infrastructure, or crypto payment products.

Why This Role

• Direct revenue impact. Every currency you launch unlocks trading corridors and directly drives TPV growth. Your work shows up in the numbers.
• Frontier of cross-border finance. Liquidity provisioning, settlement mechanics, banking partner networks, stablecoin rails. This is cross-border payments infrastructure at the cutting edge.
• Career growth. This role is designed to expand. Build the launch muscle, demonstrate judgment, and there is a clear path to broader scope within Currencies & Payments.
• High-calibre team. Ex-Mastercard, Visa, Stripe, J.P. Morgan, and Kraken alumni. Backed by Accel, Atomico, Pantera, Lightspeed.
• Where the growth is. Europe is one of our highest-demand corridors with significant untapped potential. You are not maintaining a mature product. You are opening new markets.
