At Yapily, we’re building a powerful, scalable, and secure open banking infrastructure that redefines how the world interacts with value.
Our open banking platform powers leading companies, such as Adyen, Intuit QuickBooks, and Google. By delivering payment initiation, bank data access, and pre-built products, we enable businesses to innovate fast and push the boundaries of financial technology.
As an early pioneer of open banking, we’re actively shaping the future of this industry with unrivalled expertise and a relentless focus on innovation.
What we’re looking for
We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead our strategic initiative to further develop our overall payment value proposition and move beyond pure infrastructure provision. Our services connect our customers to thousands of banks and enable them to create smoother user journeys, eliminate unnecessary payment fees and aggregate account information to create new personalised services. The team is currently working on bringing to market some of the most exciting payment initiatives in Open Banking such as Variable Recurring Payments (VRP) and data enrichment. This role will own Payments and drive initiatives and help identify the new products and propositions that will take our business forward.
This is an incredible opportunity to be a leader in Open Banking and re‑invent the way we think about and process payments. You will lead the effort to position Yapily as the frontrunner in Open Banking and Open Finance, by managing the strategy and execution of new initiatives and by delivering products and services that excite and delight our customers.
