About the Job

We are seeking a passionate Product Manager to join our Pay by Bank Squad, focusing on the KSA and UAE markets. In this role, you will own and drive the roadmap for payment products based on the Open Banking Standard (KSA) and Open Finance Standard (UAE). You will lead a talented team of engineers and collaborate closely with our Product Marketing Manager to ensure our products are both highly functional and align with user needs. If you're excited about the opportunity to impact the Middle Eastern market and build payment products that people love, this is the role for you.

Who are we

Lean enables companies to seamlessly connect to users' bank accounts to initiate real-time payments and retrieve account information. Our products are trusted by leading companies, helping users perform prudent financial planning, access better loan rates, transfer money to friends, and more, all while ensuring privacy and security.

Some of Lean's clients include the likes of Tabby, Nayifat, Tamam, Circlys, and many more, making it the region's most valuable Open Banking platform. The company has now processed over a billion dollars, and its products are also connected with hundreds of thousands of accounts. Lean envisions a fully inclusive financial ecosystem that serves everyone, no matter where they bank or live in the MENA region.

Responsibilities:

  1. Owning the product vision:

    • Define and own the product vision and roadmap for Pay by Bank products across KSA and UAE.

    • Prioritize product features based on user needs, market trends, and business goals.

    • Collaborate with the Product Marketing Manager to ensure market fit and strong GTM strategy.

  2. Leading the team:

    • Work with Engineering Managers and developers to plan and manage sprints.

    • Oversee quarterly planning, set OKRs, and ensure project timelines are met.

    • Regularly update senior management on progress, achievements, and any obstacles.

  3. Building amazing payment experiences:

    • Develop features such as Instant Payments, Scheduled Payments, Recurring Payments, Pay by Account, Refunds, and Request to Pay.

    • Ensure all products comply with Open Banking (KSA) and Open Finance (UAE) standards.

  4. Data-driven decisions:

    • Monitor product metrics like conversion rates, payment success rates, and user satisfaction.

    • Use insights to optimize products and uncover new opportunities.

  5. Bridging teams and ideas:

    • Collaborate cross-functionally with Engineering, Compliance, Sales, and Operations to align on requirements and delivery timelines.

    • Be the go-to person for product-related queries from the team, senior management, or external partners.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • 2+ years of product management experience, ideally in payments or fintech.

  • Familiarity with Open Banking or Open Finance standards is a major plus.

  • Proven experience managing products from concept to launch.

  • Strong understanding of payment systems, including initiation, authorization, and compliance flows.

Desired Qualifications:

  • Comfort with RESTful APIs and understanding payment systems.

  • Experience in an Agile/Scrum environment.

  • Experience in the Middle Eastern financial markets is a plus.

  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to simplify complex concepts.

  • Strong problem-solving mindset and a data-driven decision-making approach.

  • Passionate about payments, Open Banking, and Open Finance.

NB. While we think the above experience could be important, we're keen to hear from people that believe they have valuable experience to bring to the role. If you identify with the team and mission, but not all of our requirements, then please still apply

Why Join us?

Lean is the first regulated open banking and open finance company operating across the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Since 2019 we've been on a mission to become the pre-eminent A2A payments company in the Middle East - enabling our clients to seamlessly connect to their users' bank accounts to initiate real-time payments and retrieve account information. Our products have garnered the trust of some of the leading companies in the region, including the likes of Etisalat Group, Careem, Binance, Tabby, Tamara, Tawuniya, and more.

To date, Lean has processed billions of dollars, and our products have connected with hundreds of thousands of accounts across the region. We've recently announced our $67.5 million Series B funding round led by General Catalyst, following earlier investment from Sequoia Capital. This funding marks a major milestone for Lean and the financial ecosystem across the MENA region. At Lean, we're committed to driving the next generation of financial innovation by making financial data and payments more accessible and transparent for businesses and consumers alike.

To that end, we're always on the lookout for talented, driven, and entrepreneurial candidates to join us in our mission of enabling the next generation of financial innovation. If you're motivated by solving hard problems and leaving a lasting legacy while you're at it, Lean's where you need to be.

Not only do we offer competitive salaries, private healthcare, and flexible office hours, but we also insist that every member of the team hold a meaningful equity stake in the business to ensure long-term alignment. We'd love you to join us for this journey
