Head of Product - Card Issuing & Global Payment

Own the product behind a new payments and card issuing platform.
Our client is a growing Australian fintech with a global footprint. They’ve recently launched a new payments and issuing product, and the next step is scaling it across schemes, partners and markets. It’s a strategic product with strong backing from the board and exec team.

You’ll set the direction, own the roadmap and prioritisation, and turn a young product into a real growth engine.

What you’ll do

• Own strategy, roadmap and prioritisation for the payments and issuing product
• Build business cases backed by data, customer insight and commercial modelling
• Navigate scheme, regulatory and compliance trade-offs to make smart calls
• Lead go-to-market planning for new schemes, partners and markets
• Work closely with Engineering, Delivery, Legal, Risk and the exec team
• Shape how the product expands beyond Australia

What you’ll bring

• Strong experience with card schemes and payments (issuing preferred)
• A track record of data-driven prioritisation, roadmap and strategy ownership
• Experience taking a product to market across more than one region
• An executional mindset: you push things forward, challenge thinking and get hands-on
• Commercial acumen and confidence presenting business cases to senior leaders
• Resilience, and comfort in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift
• A practical approach to AI: you use it to work smarter and still do your own thinking

Why this role

• Executive visibility and real influence on a strategic product
• Autonomy to define where the product goes and make the case for it
• Direct line to the CPO, with senior leaders who back their people
• This is a senior, hands-on leadership role focused on product strategy and performance. It does not carry direct reports.
