Description
Company Description
We’re Checkout.com - you might not know our name, but we’re behind many of the digital experiences people use every day.
When you book a holiday, order food, renew a subscription or check out online with brands like Spotify, Klarna, Uber Eats, TikTok, Sony, or eBay, there’s a good chance our technology powers the payment behind the scenes.
At Checkout.com, we’re building where the world checks out - enabling over ten billion transactions every year for more than one billion shoppers globally. Our platform helps the world’s most ambitious businesses deliver seamless digital experiences at scale.
We’re also building a company designed for people who want to do career-defining work. We move fast, think globally, and believe great teams are built by hiring exceptional people with conviction, curiosity, and a focus on impact.
With 20 offices across six continents and London as our HQ, we’re shaping the future of fintech and we’re just getting started.
Product Manager: Secure & Exchange (Vault & Forward API)
This role owns one of Checkout.com’s most strategic bets: becoming the system of record for payment credentials, independent of acquiring.
You will lead Vault and Forward API - the core infrastructure that enables PSP-agnostic architectures, network-token-first strategies, and the shift toward PAN-less commerce.
This is a mini-GM role spanning product strategy, infrastructure, and commercial ownership.
