Job Description
Admin Jobs, Zeraki Jobs.
Requirements
What you’ll do
As Product Manager, Embedded Finance, you will own the full lifecycle of financial products — from discovery to partner negotiations to product build to GTM to post-launch growth.
You will:
Lead Product Strategy for Embedded Finance
- Shape a roadmap that transforms affordability and access to education across Africa
- Combine data, user insight, UX psychology, and financial logic to prioritize sustainably
- Identify the highest-leverage opportunities that accelerate adoption, trust, and retention
Build and scale financial products — payments, installments, savings, insurance
Design solutions from first principles: flows, states, edge cases, fallback logic
- Set the Definition of Ready / Definition of Done and own Product Owner responsibilities during delivery
- Work daily with engineering to unblock ambiguity and keep delivery predictable
- Drive first-time-use UX clarity — parents should never feel confused or unsafe when handling money
Drive Partner Success and Accountability
- Evaluate and select FSPs (banks, microfinance institutions, insurers, KYC vendors)
- Negotiate APIs, SLAs, commercial structures, and support responsibilities
- Hold partners accountable for reliability, latency, settlement, and ticket turnaround times
Launch with operational maturity — not wishful thinking
- Prepare comms, CX scripts, FAQs, escalation paths, fallback plans, and monitoring dashboards
- Run readiness gates: no launch without support and visibility in place
- Scale safely and iteratively — not through big-bang drops
Own business outcomes, not feature output
- Track funnel conversion, retries, settlement disputes, claims success, retention
- Move metrics every sprint — not every quarter
- Decide when to iterate, scale, or stop based on real data
Product Managers
- Have led a module, feature rollout, or product area end-to-end
- Comfortable turning chaos into structured, actionable plans
- Proven track record of shipping solutions tied to measurable outcomes
- Experience gathering user insights and connecting product work to real business metrics
What success looks like in this role
Within 12 months:
- Parents complete financial flows confidently in one session
- Support tickets trend down because the product just works
- Embedded Finance becomes a measurable driver of retention and LTV
- Partnerships are productive and accountable — not optimistic and vague
- Engineering reports predictable delivery and reduced ambiguity
- You are seen internally as the go-to person for building value at scale
Ideal experience:
- 3–8+ years in Product Management for SaaS, fintech, payments, insurance, lending, wallets, or mobile money
- Experience shipping complex, multi-stakeholder, API-or workflow-heavy products
- Ownership of products through strategy → build → launch → GTM → scale
- Experience working with banks, mobile money providers, insurers, credit-risk partners, or KYC/KYB vendors (advantage)
You might be a fit if this sounds like you:
- You think in systems, constraints, and sequencing, not ideas for their own sake
- You feel responsible for outcomes, not tickets shipped
- Ambiguity doesn’t intimidate you — it energizes you
- You can give engineers exact clarity, and give users exact trust
- You’d rather ship something meaningful in 30 days than debate features for 6 months
- You care about scaling impact in education, not just scaling revenue
