Lead Product Manager (Turkey)

About us

Are you passionate about FinTech and ready to make a tangible impact in a dynamic company where your decisions shape the future? Altery could be the next chapter in your professional journey!

Altery is launching a full fintech + EMI product in Turkey — retail & business accounts, virtual & physical cards, P2P, bill payments, merchant products (payment links, merchant API, POS/QR), USD/GBP/EUR cross-border rails and more. We need a hands-on Lead Product Manager who will own Turkey products end-to-end: product vision, execution, local integrations, EMI operational design (safeguarding, settlement, P&L), regulator readiness, and hiring a compact, highly driven product team.

You’ll operate at the intersection of product, operations, treasury, compliance and engineering to deliver a reliable, delightful and commercially sound money product for millions of Turkish consumers and businesses. This role requires EMI experience (or direct experience building an e-money / non-bank financial product), deep payments knowledge, and a track record of shipping mass-market fintech features at speed.

What you'll be doing

• Own the full product lifecycle in Turkey – set strategy, prioritise features, write PRDs and deliver outcomes for accounts, cards, bank-transfers, QR payments, P2P and cross-border rails. You’ll also own the product P&L and KPIs.
  
• Build and manage foreign-currency capabilities (USD, GBP, EUR) – design robust routing, pricing and FX flows, coordinate with Treasury, and ensure smooth cross-border payment corridors.
  
• Lead wallet and P2P features – design send/receive between users, friend-lists, “split-the-bill” flows, manage limits, complaints & disputes, and deliver a friction-free UX for mass-market adoption.
  
• Deliver bill-pay plus top-up / cash-in / cash-out solutions – integrate billers and payables, partner with cash-agents/kiosks/banks, and ensure fast, low-cost money flows in and out of the system.
  
• Define and execute local-rails strategy and rollout – evaluate, prioritise and implement country-specific schemes (e.g., instant EFT/FAST, QR) while navigating regulatory, technical and operational constraints to achieve reliable instant payments.
  
• Own pricing and monetisation logic – set rates, define pricing levers by product and corridor, monitor unit economics, experiment and iterate to hit growth and margin targets.
  
• Partner with Compliance & Ops on fraud and financial-crime controls – define AML/KYC thresholds, monitor for suspicious flows and build a reporting framework that supports regulatory expectations.
  
• Drive analytics & insight – create dashboards in Metabase/SQL, define core KPIs and counter-metrics, run qualitative and quantitative research, and use data to guide prioritisation and product decisions.
  
• Build and lead a local product team – recruit, coach and manage 2-3 product professionals (PMs, analyst), foster a rapid-feedback and discovery culture, and embed a “build fast, learn fast” mindset.
  

What You’ll Bring To Us

• 4+ years delivering payments/banking/EMI products in regulated environments with hands-on integration & scaled operations.
  
• Deep knowledge of Turkish payment systems — EFT, FAST, QR payments, and local regulatory context.
  
• Proven success building or scaling consumer payment products in the Turkish market.
  
• Commercially minded — experienced with P&L ownership, pricing strategies, and financial modelling.
  
• Strong analytical mindset: able to work with SQL, Metabase, or similar tools to interpret data and guide decisions.
  
• Excellent collaboration skills — proven ability to work cross-functionally with Engineering, Treasury, Compliance, and Operations.
  
• Strong English required for collaboration across global teams.
  
• Comfortable in a fast-moving environment: pragmatic, resourceful, and focused on impact.
