Description
Our business model is a dynamic mix of SaaS subscriptions, transactional payments, and a Merchant of Record (reseller) model. This creates unique complexities in compliance, risk, and financial operations. However, we see this as a huge opportunity to transform finance from a back-office cost center into a core product that adds value for our customers.
As a Product Owner, Finance, you'll be the crucial link between finance, product, engineering, and legal. You will own the financial product vision and strategy, ensuring our financial infrastructure is stable, compliant, and cost-efficient while also evolving it into a powerful, customer-facing platform. Your work will directly enable new monetization opportunities and improve the user experience.
What You'll Do
- Own the Finance Tech Stack & Architecture
- Lead the design and management of the full finance technology stack, including ERP, billing, PSPs, reporting, and integrations.
- Ensure all financial interfaces (billing, payouts, revenue recognition, tax, compliance) are robust, automated, and scalable.
- Act as the owner of all system interfaces between Finance, Product, and Operations.
- Integrate AI-powered tools to automate data reconciliation, detect anomalies in financial reports, and forecast cash flow with greater accuracy.
- Translate finance and compliance requirements (KYC/AML, invoicing, VAT, payouts) into product and UX flows.
- Partner with Product & Engineering to ensure financial features are designed for customer experience, not only internal needs.
- "Dogfood" finance workflows internally to reduce risk, cost, and inefficiency before scaling to customers.
- Utilize AI to create value for customers and ablefy alike, e.g. though create smart onboarding flows that streamline KYC/AML checks, or to personalize invoicing and payment reminders based on user behavior.
- Evolve the finance stack from an internal enabler to a customer-facing product layer.
- Identify monetization opportunities across embedded finance, reporting, compliance add-ons, and risk services.
- Drive the stability and further commercialization of our Merchant of Record (reseller) model as a strategic revenue lever.
- Leverage machine learning models to analyze transaction data, identify new revenue streams, and personalize embedded financial products for different customer segments.
- Collaborate with Legal & Compliance to understand applicability of regulatory standards to our business and ensure adherence to all relevant standards.
- Embed risk management into platform processes (e.g., KYC blocks, chargeback monitoring, tax handling).
- Ensure international scalability across multiple regulatory jurisdictions.
- Implement AI-driven compliance engines to monitor transactions in real time, automatically flag suspicious activity for AML, and generate automated compliance reports.
- Act as the key bridge between Finance, Product, Engineering, Legal, and Compliance.
- Influence product roadmap priorities where finance is a critical enabler.
- Provide clear visibility on financial system health, risks, and opportunities to the CFO and executive team.
- Develop AI-powered dashboards that offer real-time insights into financial performance and risk, allowing for proactive, data-driven decisions
