Principal Product Manager - APAC Direct Payments

Principal Product Manager, APAC Payments Scheme Integrations Wise is building the best way to move and manage money across borders. We need someone to help us move money seamlessly in APAC. We process hundreds of millions of payments for our customers per year. When Wise started we used banks to power our payments. But as we’ve grown we’ve started connecting directly to national payment schemes such as Australia’s NPP, Singapore’s FAST, Philippines' InstaPay, and Japan’s Zengin.

We’re looking for a Product Manager to lead our efforts in integrating and optimising national payment scheme integrations across the APAC region. This role will focus on expanding Wise’s reach through new payment scheme integrations while continuously improving the performance of existing scheme integrations.

What You’ll Do

• Understand customer needs: Build an understanding of how payment schemes impact our customers, and use this understanding to drive product decisions.
• Determine the strategy for Wise’s payment scheme integrations: Work with internal teams, regulators, and payment scheme operators in order to build a multi-year roadmap of which payment scheme functionality Wise should be connected to. Lobby for changes to payment schemes to make our customers' lives better.
• Lead payment scheme integrations: Alongside engineering leads, you’ll be managing technical integrations with payment schemes. This will include working with multiple internal stakeholders, ensuring strong project management is in place, identifying risks and opportunities early and adapting to them.
• Monitor and optimise: Use data to track the performance of integrations and drive continuous improvement.
• Drive operational excellence: Identify and implement improvements to enhance the performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency of the scheme integration.
