About BR-DGE 

BR-DGE is an award-winning FinTech founded in Edinburgh, powered by a high-performing, remote-first team across the UK and beyond. Our platform gives e-commerce and technology businesses the freedom and flexibility to redefine how they handle payments. 

Since 2018, we’ve been pioneers in payment orchestration, enabling enterprise brands to optimise their infrastructure and create frictionless digital experiences. From travel giants to household retail names, our global customer base is growing fast, supported by world-class partners like Visa and Worldpay. 

The journey so far has been incredible, but we’re just getting started. We are looking for exceptional talent to join us as we level up in maturity. 

About this role 

We are looking for a Product Owner to join our team and take ownership of a defined domain within the BR-DGE product. 

This is a hands-on role for a collaborative professional who enjoys turning product and stakeholder insights into clear, actionable requirements. You will work closely with engineering teams to ensure high-quality delivery, growing into a trusted subject matter expert within your domain. 

Reporting to the Product Delivery Manager, you will join a supportive team of several other Product Owners. While each person focuses on a distinct area, our platform is highly interconnected; we therefore value individuals who are keen on building strong relationships and collaborating across the wider team to achieve shared success. 

What you’ll be doing 

• Own and actively manage a defined product domain within the BR-DGE platform, becoming a trusted subject matter expert in areas such as vaulting, tokenisation, risk engines and / or specific third-party integrations. 

• Partner closely with the engineering team to support the delivery of roadmap priorities through stand-ups, refinement, and ongoing squad collaboration. 

• Break down complex product and business requirements into clear user stories and robust acceptance criteria. 

• Refine requirements with a diverse range of internal stakeholders, merchants, and external partners such as Payment Service Providers (PSPs). 

• Work collaboratively with other Product Owners across interconnected domains to align priorities, manage dependencies, and share best practices. 
  

What we’re looking for 

This role is for a product professional who wants to shape the future of payment orchestration and contribute to a growing architecture and culture. We are looking for a collaborative individual who balances technical understanding with the ability to influence how we work and build trust within a cross-functional team. 

A successful hire will be someone ready to make an impact within their first six months by: 

• Building Connections: Establishing strong working relationships across the Product Owner team and forming a seamless partnership with their Engineering Manager and squad. 

• Building Knowledge: Immersing themselves in their aligned domain to become a credible subject matter expert. 

• Driving Clarity: Bringing structure to requirements and backlog items, ensuring delivery conversations are clear and productive. 

• Collaborative Leadership: Operating as a trusted joint leader within the Scrum team, showing sound judgement when refining requirements and aligning stakeholders. 

• Cultural Contribution: Actively contributing to our open, inclusive, and collaborative working style, helping the wider product team build and grow. 
  

Essential Experience 

• Direct experience within the FinTech, PayTech or Payments sector. 

• Proven experience as a Product Owner or Product Manager within a software environment. 

• Demonstrable experience working alongside engineering teams in an Agile Scrum delivery framework. 

• Ability to break requirements down into clear stories that development teams can execute well. 

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to clearly articulate technical concepts to a non-technical audience. 

• A collaborative and autonomous approach to your work. 

• Experienced user of Jira and Confluence. 

Nice to have 

• Previous experience in a fast-paced scale-up environment, helping internal teams understand product changes through demos and showcases. 

• Experience in a highly regulated environment. 

• Experience with technical writing support or working closely with documentation teams. 

What we offer 

We provide a supportive, high-growth environment where your impact is visible every day. 

• Financial: Competitive salary and life insurance. 

• Time Off: 33 days holiday (including public holidays) plus Birthday Leave.
