• You’ll develop a deep understanding of our customers problems and work with a full stack product development team and many operational teams to solve them on web and mobile apps.
• You’ll help define the goals and vision for our TransferWise offering in North America, developing and delivering a roadmap of impactful features.
• You’ll help the team develop and measure KPIs for success.

• Be flexible in how and where you work - we understand everyone needs a little something different so we’ll do our best to make it happen

About you:

• You have previous Product Management experience and a proven track record of being able to deliver highly ambitious products. You’ll be ready to show what these are, and how you made it happen. You also need to demonstrate the ability to move metrics and reach your KPI goals.
• You place customers first. You make no compromise on this.
