Your mission:

As a Senior Payments Product Manager, you will define and execute the strategic vision for Bitpanda’s fiat payments infrastructure. You will own the core deposit and withdrawal engines that power our millions of retail users—turning fiat on-ramps into frictionless, instant gateways to modern investing. You will blend customer-obsessed user experience with a technical approach to infrastructure, ensuring every transaction is efficient, cost-optimized, and resilient to support Europe's future #1 investment platform.

What you’ll do:

Own the retail fiat lifecycle: Drive the strategic product roadmap for consumer deposits and withdrawals across multiple European geographies, maximizing payment method localization (e.g., local card networks, SEPA Instant, Open Banking).

Embed deeply with engineering: Act as a core, day-to-day leader within your cross-functional engineering squad. Drive high-velocity agile execution by writing precise PRDs and managing your scope from ideation to delivery and post-delivery.

Architect flawless transaction journeys: Own the design of robust payment state machines, edge-case handling, and idempotent systems to eliminate "lost" deposits and minimize user friction during high-traffic market events.

Optimize conversion via smart routing: Build and iterate on intelligent payment routing and cascading logic. Normalize decline reasons across various banking partners to implement smart retries and clear, actionable user error messaging that prevents funnel drop-off.

Relentlessly optimize unit economics: Target and reduce processing costs per successful transaction through routing efficiencies, commercial negotiations, and multi-rail optimizations to directly improve broker margins.

Automate broker operations: Partner with Finance, Fraud, and Risk Operations to design automated ledgering, settlement monitoring, and exception handling tools, moving away from manual operational workflows.
