Product Owner

Job Description

Ready to shape tomorrow?

Currencycloud is somewhere where innovative thinking and the power of technology know no limits. We know that the success of the business depends on the people who keep it moving, which is why we are looking for exceptional talent to join our international payments revolution.

About the role

We’re looking for an enterprising, self-starting Senior Product Owner to join our team. Your mission is to make Currencycloud’s web product - Currencycloud Direct - the best in Fintech and maximise the work of a dedicated engineering squad.

Your work will be framed by two questions:

1. What products and features should we build and why?; and
2. How do we deliver these products and features to market?

Role focus

This role will focus on the following activities:

• Product development & delivery
• Product strategy & roadmap
• Generating, maintaining & prioritising the product backlog
• Driving the delivery of the product strategy & product backlog

What Experience do I need?

• 2 years + proven experience in a Product Owner/Product Manager role, preferably in a software-first Fintech or tech start-up
• Comfort working with agile frameworks like Scrum or Kanban
• Ability to define a product backlog using standard categories like epics & user stories
• Preferably domain knowledge in Fintech - e.g. payments, FX, transaction banking or trading

What personal attributes do I need?

• A self-starter who takes accountability for getting things done
• Top-notch stakeholder management skills, including the ability to influence colleagues in small, cross-functional scrum teams
• Analytical and commercially sharp
• Comfortable challenging the status quo and always curious about the way things work
• Great written and verbal communication skills
• Exceptional structure and attention to detail
• Comfortable working in a scale up or growth environment and as part of a wider team

Anything extra to add?

At the moment we are transitioning from an office based working environment to a remote first company, so we have adapted our already great benefits package to reflect this.

We now offer a day off each month for your mental health on top of the 25 days annual leave allowance and a day off for your birthday. Our comprehensive health care includes mental health support service access and we have live streamed health based activities like Yoga and Barre classes each week! We also run fortnightly company updates hosted by our CEO to keep employees up to date on developments and also include an open forum for employees to ask questions.

If you think your skills and experience match what we are looking for and you’d like to join a Fintech industry unicorn, please get in touch!
