- You have experience owning a business-critical domain as a Product manager such as payments, compliance, or security

- Youโre a creative problem solver, who is able to incorporate quantitative data, qualitative insights, and macro business trends to pivot and iterate on original ideas
- You have proven ability to proactively lead teams and work cross-functionally with product, engineering, analytics and marketing in a highly collaborative environment
Why you're excited about us
