Liberis is building the embedded finance platform that lets partners around the world offer innovative funding products to their small business customers. We're a growth-stage fintech with teams in London, Nottingham, Atlanta, Stockholm, Munich and Mumbai, and we’re building a global Product, Data & Engineering team that thrives on autonomy, ownership, and is focused on impact! Our teams solve real-world problems for small businesses, shaping products that unlock opportunity at scale. 

Engineering is going through an AI-first transformation, rethinking how teams are structured and how they ship. It's changing what a small team can do! We empower our teams to make decisions, move fast, and take full responsibility for the solutions they deliver. You’ll join a team where curiosity is encouraged and collaboration across Product, Data, Delivery and Engineering is the norm.

As a Programme Manager within the Product Solutions team, you will help deliver new partner, product and market launches. You will manage complex, cross functional programmes from initial scoping through launch and ramp up, ensuring a smooth handover to the Partner Manager.

This is a global role, initially focused on new partner launches using existing technology in markets where we already operate. You'll typically manage two to three programmes at a time, with partner onboarding taking around two to six months. Within your first six months, you'll be owning new partner onboardings end to end.

You'll work across Product, Technology, Risk, Legal, Collections, Marketing and Commercial, as well as directly with partners. Your job isn't to do every team's work: it's to make the plan clear, agree responsibilities, surface risks early and keep delivery moving.

• Turn the agreed solution into a shared launch plan with clear milestones, dependencies, owners and timelines, working with partners and internal teams.
• Work day-to-day with partner stakeholders, running working groups, managing expectations and resolving blockers. Turn partner requirements into clear asks for Product and Engineering, keeping both sides aligned to the agreed scope.
• Coordinate delivery across workstreams, from technical integration through legal and compliance reviews to marketing and launch readiness.
• Execute the go-to-market plan, coordinating inputs on positioning, pricing, commercial terms, eligibility, customer journeys, enablement and communications.
• Support launches into new regions and markets, coordinating regulatory and licensing needs, local requirements and operational readiness with the relevant teams.
• Keep stakeholders informed with proactive updates on progress, risks, decisions and changes to the plan.
• Hold teams to agreed commitments, have constructive conversations when work is delayed and use the right escalation routes to unblock delivery.
• Recommend how to respond when priorities change or a partner is delayed, helping relationship owners and roadmap owners make informed decisions.
• Confirm launch readiness, monitor early performance and coordinate fixes to launch issues. Hand over the ongoing partner relationship and growth to the Partner Manager, with clear ownership of outstanding actions.

• Screening call with Chess (Internal Recruiter) (30 mins)
• Video interview with the Hiring Manager (1 hour)
• Case study interview with the wider Product and Engineering team (90 mins)

• Experience delivering cross-functional programmes or launches, with concrete examples of how you took work from planning through to delivery.
• Experience working directly with clients, partners or other external stakeholders, building relationships and managing dependencies.
• Commercial awareness: you can read a business case, track performance against it and act on what you see, explaining the trade-offs when plans change.
• Proven success building stakeholder relationships, including experience challenging senior stakeholders constructively and influencing people without line-management authority.
• A structured, organised approach to managing several workstreams, spotting and managing risk, adapting to changing priorities and acting independently to resolve problems.
