Job Description

The Role: Trust & Safety

The Consumer team drives high-performing, delightful payment experiences through our Connect suite, including flagship products like Flow and Remember Me.

As we expand our ecosystem, we are looking for a Staff Product Manager to lead the Trust & Safety domain. This team is responsible for the delicate balance between ironclad security and a seamless user experience. You will own the end-to-end journey for sensitive consumer touchpoints, including dispute management, customer care interfaces, and fraud/risk interventions.

Your mission is to ensure that when friction is necessary—such as during an account suspension or a verification check—the experience remains transparent, fair, and user-centric.

Key Responsibilities

• Trust Strategy & Roadmap: Develop and execute the product strategy for consumer protection and account integrity. Define a roadmap that prioritizes user safety alongside business growth and conversion.

• Regulatory & Compliance Excellence: Work closely with Legal and Compliance to ensure all consumer experiences meet FCA requirements for e-money issuance and financial services in the UK. This includes implementing PSD2/SCA standards and ensuring robust KYC/AML flows that don't compromise UX.

• Risk-Ready User Experiences: Define the end-to-end journey for complex scenarios like dispute resolution, identity verification, and account limitations. Collaborate with UX designers to make "high-friction" moments feel intuitive and supportive.

• Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner with Engineering, Risk, Fraud, and Operations to build internal systems that react in real-time to threats while protecting the legitimate user's journey.

• Performance & Optimisation: Define KPIs for "Experience Health," monitoring how risk interventions impact user retention and trust.

• Stakeholder Management: Influence senior stakeholders across the business, fostering a culture that upholds our operating principles while navigating the complexities of UK financial regulations.

About You

• Proven Experience: 5-7 years of Product Management experience, with a heavy focus on Growth, Risk, or Trust & Safety within the UK fintech or payments industry.

• Domain Expertise: Deep understanding of the UK financial services sector, specifically regarding API-led processing and regulatory frameworks.

• Data-Driven Mindset: Ability to interpret complex risk and performance data to make informed decisions that balance security with user delight.

• High EQ Leadership: Exceptional communication skills and the ability to navigate sensitive cross-functional discussions regarding fraud and user impact.

• Proactive & Results-Oriented: A self-starter who can operate in a stealth-focused, fast-moving environment with a strong bias towards action.
