Job Description
Lean is at the forefront of the Open Banking initiative within the Middle East. We aim to create a supportive and collaborative ecosystem of fintechs to support the growth of the industry within the region and ultimately give end-users useful products and seamless experiences.
With the Lean API, fintechs can seamlessly connect to their customers' bank accounts to initiate payments and retrieve account information, such as balance and transaction history — all while providing the customer with absolute control over their data and money.
The Product Team at Lean is responsible for building the right things and building things right. We work at the intersection of every department at Lean, engaging with developers, sales, marketing, customer success and integrations to take our products from ideation to production.
About the role
We are looking for a junior product manager to join our Data & Insights team in our Dubai or KSA office. The role will be focused on availing new data sources that Lean will distribute to its clients, in addition to maintaining and developing solutions that transform raw data into actionable information. You will need to both refine our tried and tested product suite and develop new initiatives from scratch.
Lean has already built data enrichment products and off-the-shelf data reports to help its customers benefit from its data products, with mínimal development effort. Those products include but are not limited to compliance, risk and fraud monitoring, credit decisioning. There is still a long way to go on this front as we discover new use cases and add new data sources to our platform. Lean’s data products are still in their early days and you will be responsible for 10x them in the near future.
What is even more exciting is that regulators and banks in UAE and KSA are working to launch world-leading account-to-account payments infrastructure in the coming months. Lean will leverage this infrastructure to provide an instant, easy and cheap alternative to card payments for any merchant. This innovative payment method has already taken significant market share in places such as the UK, EU and India and the same will happen in UAE and KSA.
We truly believe in the power of data to make Lean the dominant player in payments in the region by helping improve conversion, mitigate fraud and reduce financial risk. This will be a truly greenfield endeavor as account-to-account payments are still in their early days worldwide and yet to become a reality in UAE and KSA. You will need to combine the learnings from other payment methods and regions and think creatively to adapt them to Lean’s unique offering.
What you’ll do
- Identify opportunities to create new products or product improvements that are powered by data science methods
- Validate and seize new opportunities to prioritise based on tangible business outcomes
- Weigh the pros and cons of buying, partnering on and building the different tools and capabilities needed to offer a solution that meets customer expectations
- Manage the vendor selection, partnership execution and/or software development process to convert an idea into a fully-fledged product or feature
- Work with data providers that partner with Lean to ensure a successful launch of the products that result from the partnership
- Manage the go-to-market process of any new product or feature, including marketing material readiness, commercial team training and early customer engagement, in collaboration with the commercial team
What you’ll need
- 1-3 years experience in product management or a startup environment
- Demonstrable interest in pursuing a career in product management and fintech
- Understanding and interest in data science, statistics and machine learning
- Strong interpersonal skills to be able to manage external stakeholders
- Willingness to dive deep into the regulatory and commercial aspects of a product to optimise collaboration with the other teams that you need to make the product a success
- Eager to constantly be putting themselves outside of their comfort zone to solve always the highest impact problems
- Preferably some experience working in the development of data analytics, payments or fraud prevention solutions
NB. While we think the above experience could be important, we’re keen to hear from people that believe they have valuable experience to bring to the role. If you identify with the team and mission, but not all of our requirements, then please still apply!
Why Join us?
Not only do we offer competitive salaries, private healthcare, and flexible office hours, but we also insist that every member of the team hold a meaningful equity stake in the business to ensure long-term alignment. We'd love you to join us for this journey!
