The Role
As Product Manager for Authorisations, you'll shape Dojo's payment platform by collaborating with teams to improve payment authorisation, expand acceptance methods, and drive commercial growth through strategic product management.
Summary Generated by Built In

We’re reinventing payments.
In less than four years, Dojo disrupted the market to become the largest and most loved acquirer in the UK. Our payments infrastructure, purpose-built for in-person commerce, is game changing.

Now, over 150,000 customers across four countries choose to transact billions with us every year.
But we’re just getting started.

Our people are the driving force behind our success. They are our greatest investment and our ultimate competitive advantage. We hire exceptional people and give them the autonomy, trust, and ownership to thrive. The results take care of themselves.

 

The Role...

As Product Manager for Authorisations, you’ll play a core part in shaping the next phase of Dojo’s payments platform. You’ll partner with engineering, data, design, commercial, and operations teams to unlock growth across markets by improving how we authorise and accept payments — primarily in-person. You’ll help define and execute a clear product roadmap that drives broader acceptance of payment methods, improves authorisation success rates, and supports the evolution and monetisation of Dojo’s foreign exchange and authorisation capabilities across the UK and Europe.

This is a highly collaborative role where your work directly influences merchant experience, commercial outcomes and how Dojo scales in new and existing markets.

What You Will Do...
  • Shape the Authorisations roadmap: Collaborate with Lead PM, engineering, and business partners to define product strategy and a roadmap that aligns with Dojo’s growth ambitions.
  • Drive new payment method acceptance: Identify opportunities to expand the ways merchants can accept payments, including emerging methods and regional preferences, supporting broader merchant success.
  • Improve authorisation performance: Lead initiatives to optimise the authorisation rates and resilience of Dojo’s in-person payments.
  • Drive ARR: Work with commercial and analytics teams to explore how authorisation and foreign exchange capabilities can deliver incremental value, for our customers and for Dojo.
  • Lead cross-functional delivery: Partner with engineering, analytics, design, operations, and risk to move product work from discovery to delivery, ensuring quality, measurable outcomes, and scalability.
  • Use data to inform decisions: Define success metrics, use data insights to validate hypotheses, prioritise with clarity, and iterate based on feedback and performance.
  • Champion the customer: Keep Dojo merchants at the heart of every product decision, balancing customer needs with technical and commercial constraints.
What You Will Bring...
  • Product experience: 2-4+ years of product management experience in payments, fintech, or related B2B platforms.
  • Analytical mindset: Strong comfort with data to inform decisions, define metrics, and evaluate the impact of product work.
  • Cross-functional leadership: Proven ability influencing without authority and driving alignment across engineering, design, operations, and commercial functions.
  • Execution excellence: Track record of delivering high-impact product work from discovery through execution.
  • Merchant/customer focus: Deep empathy for merchant needs and a passion for building products that simplify complex problems.
  • Clear communication: You make complexity feel simple and can articulate priorities, trade-offs, and product rationale clearly.

Dojo home and away

We believe our best work happens when we collaborate in-person. These “together days” foster communication, drive innovation and spark our brightest ideas.

That's why we have an office-first culture. This means working from the office 4+ days per week.

With offices across Europe, we know a thing or two about staying dynamic. Need deep focus? Head to a quiet zone. Big ideas? Collaboration spaces have you covered. Just here for a catch-up? Our social hubs make it easy. Do work that counts, in spaces made for you.


Question: what’s curious, relentless, and customer obsessed?

If the following speak to you, let’s talk:

  • You’re curious. You have a real desire to learn and create.
  • You’re relentless. You keep going even when it’s easier not to. 
  • You’re customer-obsessed. You know how important customers are to what you do.
