About the role

Who we are:

At R2, we believe that small and medium businesses are the productive engine of society. Small and medium businesses (SMBs) make up over 90% of companies in Latin America, yet they face a trillion-dollar credit gap. Our mission is to unlock SMBs’ potential by providing financial solutions that are tailored to their needs. We are reimagining the financial infrastructure of Latin America - where SMBs financial needs are satisfied without ever having to go to a bank.

R2 integrates with payment processors, POS systems and marketplace apps in Latin America to embed tailored financial services that SMBs can then leverage. We are a tight knit team coming from organizations such as Google, Nubank, McKinsey & Co., Mercado Libre, Globant, JP Morgan, Clip, and Uala. We are backed by world-class investors such as General Catalyst and Y Combinator, among others.

As a Senior Product Manager with relevant experience and strong product vision, you will solve significant problems for merchants and their business customers by working in the intersection of payments and lending, whether it’s getting rid of paper intensive payment processes, creating a friendly and frictionless checkout experience, improving or redesigning post-purchase journeys, or seamlessly capturing unique data to train real-time machine learning models for underwriting. You will use a broad array of product management skills such as managing stakeholders, identifying users’ needs, prioritizing workstreams, and leveraging your analytical skills to build products that delight our customers.

What you’ll work on:

  • Drive product development from conception to launch of a key customer-facing product, including complex “0 to 1” new platform capabilities
  • Create and contribute to enable a strong product culture and mindset throughout the organization
  • Set a long-term vision and socialize it with your team and stakeholders to pursue it
  • Act as a founder and make decisions with the customer in mind
  • Define what success looks like and use metrics to evaluate progress towards your goals
  • Create alignment on your vision, roadmap, and KPIs throughout the organization
  • Analyze competitors’ products to identify market opportunities
  • Balance qualitative insights with quantitative insights to validate hypotheses with users
  • Identify opportunities in product enhancements by being involved in ongoing UX research and assessing the product
  • Understand market regulations and compliance to make sure our products are in line with them and spot opportunities, not threats when the market shifts

Who you are:

  • At least 3 years of relevant experience building high quality products in a fast paced environment
  • You have experience within the fintech industry
  • You have experience building from zero to one lending/payment products such as Buy Now, Pay Later or other electronic/digital payment products
  • You have experience in products with aspects of KYC/AML, underwriting or fraud detection
  • You have experience with multiple successful product deliveries
  • You have the ability to proactively prioritize, manage, assume responsibility in multiple initiatives within time constraints and with intense attention to detail
  • You have experience in working with multi-disciplinary teams in iterative product development cycles
  • You have experience of enabling the full potential in other Product Managers
  • You have a great understanding and showcase of product thinking
  • You have experience building products in regulated spaces and across many markets
