What you’ll do

• As Product Manager, Embedded Finance, you will own the full lifecycle of financial products — from discovery to partner negotiations to product build to GTM to post-launch growth.
• You will:
• Lead Product Strategy for Embedded Finance
• Shape a roadmap that transforms affordability and access to education across Africa
• Combine data, user insight, UX psychology, and financial logic to prioritize sustainably
• Identify the highest-leverage opportunities that accelerate adoption, trust, and retention
• Build and scale financial products — payments, installments, savings, insurance
• Design solutions from first principles: flows, states, edge cases, fallback logic
• Set Definition of Ready / Definition of Done and own Product Owner responsibilities during delivery
• Work daily with engineering to unblock ambiguity and keep delivery predictable
• Drive first-time-use UX clarity — parents should never feel confused or unsafe when handling money
• Drive Partner Success and Accountability
• Evaluate and select FSPs (banks, microfinance institutions, insurers, KYC vendors)
• Negotiate APIs, SLAs, commercial structures, and support responsibilities
• Hold partners accountable for reliability, latency, settlement, and ticket turnaround times
• Launch with operational maturity — not wishful thinking
• Prepare comms, CX scripts, FAQs, escalation paths, fallback plans, and monitoring dashboards
• Run readiness gates: no launch without support and visibility in place
• Scale safely and iteratively — not through big-bang drops
• Own business outcomes, not feature output
• Track funnel conversion, retries, settlement disputes, claims success, retention
• Move metrics every sprint — not every quarter
• Decide when to iterate, scale, or stop based on real data
• Product Managers
• Have led a module, feature rollout, or product area end-to-end
• Comfortable turning chaos into structured, actionable plans
• Proven track record of shipping solutions tied to measurable outcomes
• Experience gathering user insights and connecting product work to real business metrics
• What success looks like in this role
• Within 12 months:
• Parents complete financial flows confidently in one session
• Support tickets trend down because the product just works
• Embedded Finance becomes a measurable driver of retention and LTV
• Partnerships are productive and accountable — not optimistic and vague
• Engineering reports predictable delivery and reduced ambiguity
• You are seen internally as the go-to person for building value at scale

Ideal experience:

• 3–8+ years in Product Management for SaaS, fintech, payments, insurance, lending, wallets, or mobile money
• Experience shipping complex, multi-stakeholder, API-or workflow-heavy products
• Ownership of products through strategy → build → launch → GTM → scale
• Experience working with banks, mobile money providers, insurers, credit-risk partners, or KYC/KYB vendors (advantage)
