We're driven by a mission to make digital payments accessible to everyone, everywhere. With our innovative payment solutions, we empower businesses of all sizes to access new markets and connect with more customers. Our clients include some of the world's most innovative companies, such as Ant Group, PayPal, and Stripe, who depend on PPRO to accelerate their growth.

We take pride in our diversity, which comprises over 65 nationalities spread across 11 global locations, and while there are over 550 of us, we’re all united by a shared a passion for building - whether that’s trusted relationships with our customers, or next generation products that make payments simpler, faster, and more secure for everyone.

At PPRO, we believe that everyone can make a difference. We encourage our team members to seize opportunities to maximize their impact, adopt a growth mindset, build trust with each other and our customers, and drive change across the industry. We’re just at the start of our journey to become the leading payments technology provider globally - and that’s where you come in.

**The Purpose**:
Product Managers at PPRO have the passion and abilities for ensuring that we focus our time and energy on building the right things for our customers.

As Product Director you have end to end accountability for our global local payments portfolio, with your deep understanding of the products, technology and business you develop a winning strategy, accelerate global delivery and successfully drive business growth. In doing so, you can play a part to enable financial inclusion whilst promoting global eCommerce.

Our mission is to make payment methods more effective, efficient and accessible across every corner of the world. We connect to the local schemes and local rails, consolidate and standardise APIs as well contracts, settlements and reporting. We orchestrate flows, finetune the user experience and co-create new products together with the schemes and our customers. Ultimately we want to offer our customers more product features, easier access and higher success rates than they would get going direct. Leveraging our better than direct payment methods, merchants can successfully sell to consumers everywhere in the world, turning consumers into happy, buying customers.
