Location: Manchester (Hybrid)
Employment Type: Permanent
Seniority: Senior Leadership

Salary: £85,000 per annum + benefits + bonus (up to 30%)+ car allowance (£7,800 pa) 

Ready to lead commerce innovation at scale?

We’re looking to resource a high-impact Head of Product – Commerce to lead our client's vision, strategy, and delivery of cutting-edge invoicing, payments, and reconciliation capabilities across a complex, multi-market product landscape.

You’ll take ownership of a product function critical to how transactions are initiated, processed, and settled across European marketplaces. From automated billing to real-time payment flows, compliance automation to fintech partnerships — you’ll be building the financial backbone of our client's fast-scaling SaaS and marketplace ecosystem.

What you'll be doing:

• Define and lead the end-to-end commerce product strategy across invoicing, payments, reconciliation, and compliance systems.

• Own and evolve the roadmap for Stripe-powered billing and payment platforms.

• Lead and inspire a talented team of Product Managers across Payments, Tax & Compliance, and Financial Intelligence.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with Engineering, Legal, Finance, and Compliance to deliver secure, scalable, API-first financial products.

• Drive efficiency and revenue growth through automation and innovative fintech integrations.

• Act as a senior stakeholder, communicating product value at executive level and engaging customers to shape tailored financial experiences.

But this role is more than just strategic...

We’re looking for someone who can lead with empathy and drive, and who’s not afraid to:

• Roll up their sleeves, get into the detail, and actively contribute to solutions when needed.

• Adapt their communication and leadership style to different people, teams, or situations to build trust and get results.

• Unite cross-functional teams, foster collaboration, and take full ownership of outcomes.

About you:

• 10+ years of product leadership, with a strong focus on digital commerce, payments, or financial systems in SaaS, fintech, or marketplace environments.

• Demonstrable expertise with Stripe or similar payment gateways.

• Deep understanding of EU financial compliance including VAT, PSD2, AML, and PSP licensing.

• Proven success leading large-scale B2B financial product initiatives.

• Technical fluency in API-first architecture, and ideally exposure to AI/ML tools for predictive finance, fraud detection, and reconciliation.

• Strong communicator and relationship-builder with the ability to influence at all levels.

Desirable experience:

• Previous exposure to regulated sectors such as fintech or B2B marketplaces.

• Familiarity with embedded finance, BNPL, or digital wallets.

• Pan-European product delivery experience and multilingual capabilities.

This is an opportunity to shape and scale a core product function within a growing PAN-European technology business, where your work directly drives customer value, operational performance, and commercial growth.

If you’re ready to take the lead on high-impact financial products, we’d love to hear from you.
