Step into this Payments Product Manager role and build something that matters in Financial Services.
Payments infrastructure underpins everything in Financial Services, from real-time transfers to fraud detection at scale, and the firms that get it right earn trust that lasts decades. This enterprise organisation has built its reputation on exactly that reliability. It now needs a Payments Product Manager who can keep pace with regulatory change while pushing the product forward.
Here’s what you’ll be doing:
- Own the roadmap for a core payments product, balancing regulatory requirements with commercial priorities
- Translate complex payment scheme rules and compliance needs into clear product requirements
- Work closely with engineering, risk and compliance teams to ship features that hold up under scrutiny
- Run discovery with merchants, partners and internal stakeholders to validate what actually gets built
- Track product performance against KPIs and adjust the plan when the data says you should
- Present roadmap decisions and trade-offs to senior leadership with confidence and clarity
Here are the skills you’ll need:
- Several years’ experience in product management within Financial Services, ideally with direct payments exposure
- Working knowledge of payment rails, card schemes or open banking standards
- Comfortable reading regulatory requirements and turning them into practical product decisions
- Strong stakeholder management. You’ll be in rooms with engineers one hour and executives the next
- Data literacy. You know your way around a dashboard and you know when a metric is misleading
- Clear written and verbal communication, especially when explaining technical trade-offs to non-technical audiences
Key perks and benefits:
- £55,500 to £82,500, depending on experience
- Hybrid working from the Cardiff office, with flexibility built in
- Private medical and dental insurance
- Enhanced pension scheme
- Performance-based bonuses on top of base salary
Why pursue a career in Financial Services?
Financial Services rewards people who can sit between technical detail and business strategy, and payments sits right at that intersection. Cardiff has quietly become one of the UK’s stronger regional hubs for financial services talent, with established employers and genuine career paths rather than a revolving door. Progression here tends to be structured rather than accidental, which suits anyone who wants to build a long-term career rather than just a CV line.
This Payments Product Manager opportunity is brought to you by The Opportunity Hub UK.
