Our client is hiring a commercially minded and execution-driven Acquiring Product Manager to lead the development, launch, and scale of next-generation acquiring solutions. This role sits at the intersection of traditional acquiring and modern embedded payment ecosystems, including knowledge of ISVs and platform-based merchant acceptance.
You will drive the full product lifecycle, from strategy through go-to-market and ongoing optimisation – collaborating cross-functionally across product, engineering, compliance, operations, and commercial teams.
This is a senior opportunity for someone who brings a unique blend of experience across acquirer and PayFac models, and who thrives in dynamic, fast-paced, and partnership-driven environments.
The ideal candidate will bring proven expertise in the acquiring ecosystem, including PayFac models, with tangible experience launching products and working with major acquirers such as Adyen and Fiserv.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own the end-to-end product lifecycle for acquiring products, from ideation to go-live and post-launch optimisation.
- Define and deliver a product roadmap that supports both direct acquiring models and embedded payment models (e.g., ISVs, marketplaces, platforms).
- Translate customer needs and market insights into high-impact product features, ensuring scalable architecture, regulatory compliance, and commercial viability.
- Collaborate with commercial and partner teams to develop launch strategies, merchant propositions, and support enablement for new products.
- Own relationships with key acquiring partners (e.g., Adyen, Fiserv) to support integration, expansion, and service performance.
- Track product performance through KPIs (e.g., conversion, cost of acceptance, margin) and lead continuous improvement initiatives.
- Contribute to pricing, go-to-market strategy, and commercial enablement for acquiring services.
What You Bring:
- Approximately 8 years of experience, or equivalent, with a strong track record in Product Management within payments.
- Deep understanding of the acquiring ecosystem, including merchant onboarding, transaction processing, chargebacks, and settlement.
- Exposure to modern payment facilitation models and how ISVs, marketplaces, and SaaS platforms integrate acquiring as part of their value proposition.
- Proven product launch and GTM execution experience, with tangible examples of products delivered to market.
- Experience working with major acquiring platforms, particularly Adyen and Fiserv.
- Strong commercial awareness and ability to shape propositions that balance customer value and revenue generation.
- Strong analytical, communication, and cross-functional leadership skills.
- Self-starter with a proactive and collaborative mindset, comfortable operating in ambiguity and driving clarity.
