A bit about you:
You are an experienced product manager (5+ years) who has solved complex customer-facing problems at global scale, ideally in fintech.
You have experience with AI/ML-powered products - whether building conversational experiences, recommendation systems, or other AI-first features. You understand the unique challenges of shipping non-deterministic products (LLMs, evaluation, guardrails, iteration loops).
You are customer obsessed. You approach every problem from the eyes of a first-time user who is nervous about sending their hard-earned money internationally.
You have a strong sense of UX and a strict attention to UI details, and have a track record of delivering excellent UX. Design skills are a clear desired bonus.
You eat analytics for breakfast - can use funnel data, cohort analysis, conversion metrics, and qualitative insights to identify, diagnose and prioritize problems.
You have experience in qualitative design testing, to assess solutions against functional and emotional needs.
You have experience with experimentation and growth — A/B testing, funnel optimization, and systematic approaches to improving conversion at scale.
You have a good technical understanding - comfortable discussing LLM architectures, API integrations and can partner effectively with engineers to expedite delivery.
You are self-driven and a first-principles thinker; you deal well with ambiguity and noise, you can manage two parallel roadmaps, and pave the way for things that haven't been done before.
You are able to turn a vision into actions with tangible building blocks of a roadmap and hands-on execution at pace to deliver impact faster.
You have experience in building strong cross-functional team culture for best-in-class engineers, designers, analysts and researchers particularly across locationally distributed team/stakeholders.
You are excited about shaping the future of agentic AI experiences and moving money globally for millions of customers, businesses and partners around the world!
