Biller Product Manager – TV & Electricity at PalmPay

We are seeking a specialized Biller Product Manager – TV & Electricity to own and scale PalmPay’s digital utility payments, with a core focus on Cable TV (DStv, GOtv, Startimes) and Electricity (PHED, IKEDC, EEDC, etc.). This role will combine product thinking with deep operational execution, channel logic design, and hands-on tool usage to ensure these services remain reliable, fast, and user-friendly.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the product vision and strategy for TV and Electricity bill payments within the app.
• Design and maintain channel access logic for electricity and TV billers to optimize for uptime, cost efficiency, and success rate.
• Collaborate with BD and technical teams to evaluate and integrate new electricity distribution companies (DisCos) and cable service providers.
• Monitor service availability and proactively resolve downtime or integration issues in collaboration with engineering and operations.
• Perform routine operational changes (pricing updates, API switchovers, feature flags) using internal tools within SLA timelines. 
• Own key metrics: transaction success rate, Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR), channel switch turnaround time, monthly transacting users (MTU), and complaints rate.
• Leverage SQL or dashboards to analyze service drop-offs, root cause errors, and user behavior.
• Define product requirements (PRDs) and lead testing of new biller flows or fixes.
• Stay up to date on DisCo-specific rules (e.g., token formats, KCTs, meter types) and DStv/GOTV logic (e.g., IUC rules, bouquet changes).
• Drive user-centric optimizations (e.g., retry flows, saved meter numbers, alert messages).

Requirements:

• 3–5+ years of product management experience, ideally in fintech, utilities, or telco environments.
• Familiarity with the TV and electricity billing landscape in Nigeria, including APIs, integration protocols, and regional variances in DisCo behavior.
• Strong understanding of channel routing logic and how to evaluate and shift between service providers.
• Proficiency in data tools—SQL, Excel, or BI tools like Metabase or Looker.
• Comfortable with admin tool usage to apply service or pricing changes without dev support.
• Excellent documentation, testing, and operational planning capabilities.
• High ownership mindset—responds quickly to incidents and proactively implements long-term solutions.

Preferred:

• Experience working directly with electricity distribution companies or cable TV providers.
• Familiarity with product-led MTU growth tactics for utility services.
• Experience in customer journey mapping for transactional and error-prone services
