About us

At GoCardless we believe bank payments are the best way to pay and get paid. We also believe that bank account data is a powerful tool to make better, faster decisions. We\'re making it easy to use both- for businesses everywhere.

The role

As a Product Manager you will work closely with a Technical Lead and Engineering Manager to lead one or more of our cross-functional development teams. Teams are responsible for their product area, and deliver impactful change autonomously, in line with the overall product strategy.

We are looking for self-starting Product Managers to tackle interesting product problems across a diverse range of roles

We believe world-class Product Management is crucial to the continued success of our product and company. As a result, we\'ve created an environment that ensures our Product Managers have the opportunity to constantly learn, are empowered to take calculated risks, and contribute to developing best practices that other companies emulate. Our goal is to be widely regarded as one of the best Product Management organisations.

Our Product team is focused on three areas:

  • Shaping the future of the product: As a product-led organisation, having a clear and well thought through product strategy is critical to our business. Product Managers work together to create this strategy, and are empowered to bring it to life with their teams.
  • Prioritising which problems to solve and why: We take a data-led approach to figuring out what problems we should solve and with what priority. We give our Product Managers the space to pose the right questions and empower them to make great decisions.
  • Delivering to solve these problems: We believe in a collaborative partnership where the Product team focuses on outcomes, while Engineering and Design focus on how we get there. Product\'s main role in execution is to guide teams to stay on track to deliver the optimal product impact.
What excites you
  • Problem discovery and prioritisation: Taking complex and ambiguous product problems and structuring these effectively. This includes clearly defining the problem space, the impact of the problem and the trade-offs made in making prioritisation decisions.
  • Data-led decision-making: Using data and broader market trends to support your trade-off decisions and problem impact estimations.
  • Influencing and communication: Building collaborative relationships with your team, stakeholders and executives to deliver change effectively across your remit. This includes growing to become the \'go-to\' person for your product area; translating complex, technical problems into understandable concepts; and convincing stakeholders of the best approach using structured reasoning.
  • Customer advocacy: Understanding the needs of your key customers on an ongoing basis, and using this to enable effective prioritisation decisions.
  • Shipping stuff: Working with your team to support changes to completion, delivering consistent positive impact across your product area.
What excites us
  • Exceptional problem-solving and analytical skills: We want our Product Managers to have an outstanding ability to tackle interesting problems. At GoCardless we start by asking \'why?\', and a data-led approach is central to how we run Product.
  • Curiosity and high agency: We\'re after people who aren\'t afraid of a challenge and will have a go, stay curious and adapt to a constantly changing environment. Our Product Managers are highly motivated to lead things to completion, delivering great impact with their teams.
  • Collaborative leaders: Product roles bring responsibility without direct authority. We\'re looking for leaders who can motivate and earn the trust of stakeholders and teams with a collaborative approach.
We don\'t expect you to meet every requirement. If you\'re excited by this role, we encourage you to apply.
