Head of Product

About Railsr

Railsr is a leading embedded finance experience platform that enables any business to prototype, build and scale financial products. Our vision is to make finance an amazing experience for consumers and companies, working alongside brands and fintechs to power innovation. This is an exciting space and Railsr had one of the first digitally-native products in the FinTech platform space.

Following a period of resizing and restructuring, Railsr is returning to the market and looking to further develop our product capabilities, mature our processes, rebuild our brand and expand our customer base. It's an exciting time and the potential for any brand to use Railsr to power and deliver their customers' financial experiences is enormous.

The Opportunity

The Head of Product will be responsible for managing our UK and European products, including Banking and Cards as-a-Service, as well as essential internal tools and systems like Backoffice and Compliance tools. You will be leading an empowered, dedicated Product team to jointly deliver solutions that "our customers love, yet work for our business".

You will have a challenging and rewarding role bridging a variety of disciplines and collaboratively solving hard problems, working closely with senior management and SMEs on product vision and roadmap.

Your main contribution to the team will be a strong understanding of the UK and/or SEPA payments industry, the Embedded Finance business and our need to balance commercial impact, customer experience, reliable operations and regulatory compliance. As our product is highly technical, you will also be contributing to solution design working hand in hand with Engineering and Operations.
