Product Manager - Local Payments (Portuguese + Spanish)

What You Will Be Doing

Execute and inform our product strategy for our local payments portfolio from scheme engagement to product feature development and market launch.

Drive product discovery and delivery - collaborate with engineers and stakeholders to develop innovative, "Better-than-direct" payment experiences that drive value for our business and customers.

Develop and optimise the payments product portfolio that balances scheme requirements, financial efficiency, and high success rates for consumers and merchants.

Work hands-on with data - analyze key business opportunities and success metrics related to payment acceptance rates, scheme performance, and financial flow efficiency to drive meaningful outcomes.

Define clear success metrics and KPIs to measure payment method efficiency, automate reporting, and enable data-driven decision-making.

Collaborate cross-functionally – work closely with Compliance, Risk, Sales, and Customer Success teams to refine payment requirements, implement new features, and understand business needs.

Inform the roadmap planning and lead the execution for key initiatives, such as the strategic integration of new local payment methods, optimization of existing flows, and co-creation of new products with schemes.

Be a thought leader in local payments – stay ahead of regulatory changes, market trends, and best practices to keep PPRO at the forefront of effective, efficient, and accessible payments across the world.
