Senior Product Manager – Network Experiences

Runa is pioneering a first-of-its-kind payment rail capable of issuing, sending and accepting digital value at scale.

Banking and card payment infrastructure still struggles to serve low-volume, high-velocity payments both locally and globally. Businesses send over $20 trillion in refunds, rewards, or remittances to consumers, employees, or freelancers, every year and waste thousands of hours, incurring costs of up to 50% per transaction and leaving the people they serve waiting days to receive their money.

Runa’s is transforming the payouts landscape with a new digital payments infrastructure that enables businesses to send digital value to anyone, anywhere instantly, free of charge for senders and recipients. Recipients can immediately spend the value they receive on the Runa network including  2000 plus merchants across 30 countries, completely independently of the legacy card rails.  Hundreds of leading companies rely on Runa to power instant, flexible global payouts to tens of millions of consumers including Sodexo, TopCashback, Perkbox, Sweatcoin, Coinbase and Globetopper.

We are committed to providing a hiring and working experience in which all people feel they are equally respected and valued regardless of race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

About the Role:

Our Network of payout types is what brings customers to Runa in the first place. And as we continually work to rapidly bring new payout types onto our network – like Crypto, Subscriptions, Shares, Charitable donations – we continue to add value for our existing customers and attract new ones.

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to join our product team building the experiences that surround the management and fulfilment of these payout types. You will be working with engineering, design, customers and stakeholders to rapidly develop, build and test your hypothesis. You will be responsible for driving the strategy, development, and successful innovation of a key product domain.

Working at Runa:

We’re a mission-driven, fast-growing company revolutionising an industry. We know what we need to do to be successful and share the vision so each and every person can contribute towards us winning as a business.

We are passionate about high performance and know that doing a good job means challenging one another to drive the right outcomes, and that means having no ego.

Employees are given all the tools and support to make a positive impact in their role, and are trusted through being given autonomy and ownership. If you have an endless desire to make a positive impact, we’d love to chat.

What Excites You:

• Getting stuck in with customers, stakeholders, data, research and anything else you can lay your hands on to identify problems and opportunities and quickly develop a hypothesis
• Critical, analytical and creative thinking to help define the strategy and vision for the domain
• Working in one of the most visible and senior positions in the company. This role collaborates closely with senior stakeholders across the business and gives the opportunity to influence and impact the core value proposition for the company: our Network.
• Solving wide-reaching and complex problems without building complex solutions. You thrive in identifying small iterations that deliver value and solve immediate needs, building towards your longer-term product strategy and managing your stakeholder expectations.

What Excites Us:

• You’ll demonstrate ~5 years experience as a Product Manager determining what the right thing to build is, and have delivered significant customer and business results
• A strong analytical curiosity that leads to questioning problems and understanding the root cause
