We appreciate the value of getting into the mental models of our customers and out of our offices. We bring together cross-functional teams to act on a combination of qualitative and quantitative data to meet our customer needs and commercial plans.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Create and implement the product roadmap for person to person payments
  • Create thought leadership on payments experiences
  • Own the performance of your products: optimizing for meeting customer needs in terms of speed, convenience and access, while controlling for fraud, operational costs and cost of any 3rd party solutions
  • Collaborate effectively with other groups to create solutions, including data science, design, user experience research, risk, operations and marketing
  • Write and present detailed product deliverables on key initiatives to executives and stakeholders.
  • Get involved with industry meet-ups and associations to stay on top of new trends and best practices
  • Roll up your sleeves to remove barriers and obstacles hindering the team's ability to ship.
  • Evangelize payments initiatives across Varo
  • Lead technical story-writing and write stories yourself as needed to move quickly
  • SKILLS AND EXPERIENCES THAT'LL HELP MAKE YOU GREAT

  • You are an experienced Product Manager who is passionate about payments
  • You understand Varo’s customer base and are keen to build payments solutions that work for all customers, regardless of their background
  • You are analytical, and are comfortable with consuming and analyzing data to improve your product’s performance
  • You have delivered solutions to market that have driven tangible improvements to payments usage and customer engagement
  • Strong execution capability and ability to drive work to completion
  • You have 8+ years of experience as a product manager, with several years in a payments role

  • THE THREE SKILLS THAT MATTER MOST
    Nobody can be great at everything, but we're looking for candidates who are extraordinary at:
  • Passion for designing new payments experience for customers
  • Enjoy analyzing quantitative and qualitative data to make good decisions
  • Achieving goals as part of a team
  • We recognize not everyone will have all of these requirements. If you meet most of the criteria above and you’re excited about the opportunity and willing to learn, we’d love to hear from you.
