Senior Product Manager

Wagestream is on a mission to bring better financial wellbeing to frontline workers.

We partner with some of the world’s most famous employers, like Pizza Express, Hilton and the UK’s National Health Service, to give their teams access to fairer financial services - all built around flexible pay. Almost a million people can now choose how often they’re paid, track their shifts and earnings, start saving, use budgeting tools, get free financial coaching, and access fairer financial products. All in one financial wellbeing super-app.

Wagestream is unique: VC-backed and growing at scale-up pace, but with a social conscience. The UK’s leading financial charities and impact funds were our founding investors, and we operate on a social charter - which means every product we build has to improve financial health and reduce the $5.6bn ‘premium’ lower-income earners pay for financial services each year.

You’d be joining a team of 100 talented, ambitious people, growing in Europe, Australia and the USA, building a category-leading fintech product and all united by that same mission.

The Opportunity:

Wagestream works in cross-functional squads. We are looking for a Senior Product Manager for the Financial Superapp squad. The squad is made up of product managers, designers, engineers (frontend and backend) and sector leads in Insurance and Credit.

Product & Engineering work together closely using a Kanban-style approach in fast build-measure-learn cycles.

What will you be doing?:

As Senior Product Manager, you’ll be working on products across five pillars of financial services: insurance, credit, deposits, assets and payments. You’ll be responsible both for delivering the current roadmap and leading discovery and delivery of new features to expand our offering.
