What your day-to-day will look like

• Working with a cross functional team to own the payment product roadmap for Nigeria — with a strong focus on local payment methods (LPMs) and Cards. You'll need a clear end-to-end view of the transaction lifecycle..
• Drive merchant-first integrations: define product specs, shape APIs, review technical docs, and lead solution design with engineering and other relevant cross functional teams.
• Collaborate across functions — from Ops and Treasury to Growth and Sales Engineering — to deliver locally compliant, high-converting solutions.
• Driving technical excellence in our integrations by ensuring clear documentation, backlog management, and seamless execution across squads.
• Align internal and external teams around regional priorities, making sure product decisions reflect both business strategy and on-the-ground realities.
