Kody is redefining the future of commerce. We are building the next generation of Agentic Commerce and Embedded Finance platforms, seamlessly unifying omnichannel payments, merchant tooling, and business intelligence. By leveraging advanced technology and financial infrastructure, Kody empowers businesses—ranging from local merchants to global enterprises—to streamline their operations and scale effortlessly.

We are looking for an analytical, proactive, and execution-driven Technical Product Owner to join our core product team. You will be instrumental in identifying market opportunities, defining high-impact merchant solutions, and driving the delivery of products that merge payment technology with intelligent business tools.

Key Responsibilities

  • Market Insights & Localization: Conduct in-depth research on the global Fintech landscape, payment regulations, and competitor offerings (especially in Europe/UK/US/APAC) to identify high-potential product opportunities.
  • Merchant & Payment Product Delivery: Own the product lifecycle for Kody's core features (e.g., smart terminal integrations, merchant portals, checkout flows, or reporting tools) from requirement gathering (PRDs) to deployment.
  • Cross-Functional Execution: Collaborate closely with our global engineering, design, and operations teams to translate complex merchant pain points into intuitive, reliable product solutions.
  • Data-Driven Optimization: Establish key product metrics to track feature adoption among merchants, leveraging data insights to continually iterate and optimize the platform's user experience.
  • Stakeholder Alignment: Coordinate with compliance, banking partners, and regional teams to ensure our solutions are secure, regulatory-compliant, and localized for different markets.

Requirements

  • Experience: 3–5 years of product management experience, with a proven track record in Fintech, Payment Gateway, POS/SaaS solutions, or Merchant-facing (B2B) products.
  • Academic Background: Strong academic foundation (Bachelor’s degree or above from a top-tier global university in Computer Science, Finance, Business, or a related discipline).
  • Language Skills: Excellent professional English proficiency (both written and spoken). You will be collaborating daily with a highly international team and partners across UK/APAC.
  • Fintech Knowledge: A solid understanding of payment ecosystems (acquiring, processing, POS hardware/software, or open banking API integrations) is highly preferred.
  • Analytical Mindset: Exceptional ability to break down ambiguous business requirements into structured, prioritized product backlogs.

Benefits

  • Competitive Compensation
  • Frequent work social events
  • Health and Dental Insurance
