We're looking for a Senior Product Owner with real experience in digital ecommerce products and direct ownership over the payments and checkout area.
This is not a "ticket manager" role. We want someone who understands the business, challenges assumptions, speaks engineering's language without losing sight of the user, and knows that behind every lost conversion point in checkout there's a product decision that was (or wasn't) made correctly.
One more thing: we don't care what you studied 🎓. Journalism, Business, a Web Dev bootcamp, Philosophy… degrees are fine, but what matters here is what you can do, how you think, and what you've delivered.
Requirements
Must-have
- Solid experience as a PO or PM on digital ecommerce products, 5 years at least, with direct ownership over checkout flows, conversion, or payments. Real product — not decks, not theory, not three-month consulting gigs.
- Deep knowledge of the online payments ecosystem: PSPs (Worldpay, Stripe, Adyen, Redsys, Braintree…), virtual POS terminals, pricing models (interchange++, blended), dispute and chargeback management. You don't need to be the technical integrator, but you do need to understand what's happening under the hood and why a PSP configuration change can tank your authorization rate.
- Experience optimizing the checkout funnel: friction reduction, drop-off analysis by step, conversion-oriented UX improvements, payment error handling, and status messaging. You know the difference between a user who abandons because they don't want to pay and one who abandons because the form has failed them multiple times.
- Frontend/UX technical Familiarity with frontend concepts relevant to checkout: page load performance and its impact on conversion), form validation patterns, cross-browser/device compatibility issues, and how JavaScript-heavy implementations can affect payment widget rendering. You know why a slow LCP on the payment step is a product problem, not just an engineering one.
- Familiarity with emerging payment methods and international markets: BNPL (Klarna, Scalapay, Afterpay), digital wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Bizum), open banking, instant payments. You know which payment method a user in Germany prefers vs. one in Brazil — and that matters to you when prioritizing.
- Knowledge of applicable regulation: PSD2, SCA (Strong Customer Authentication), 3DS2, GDPR as applied to payment flows. You don't need to be a lawyer, but you do need to know when something proposed by the business conflicts with compliance — and how to resolve it without stalling the roadmap.
- Agile methodologies and backlog management: real experience with Scrum/Kanban, writing quality user stories, well-defined DoDs, sprint management, and coordination across BE, FE, QA, and UX. Jira doesn't scare you — in fact, you probably have very clear opinions on how to structure it better.
- Data-driven mindset: comfortable reading dashboards, interpreting conversion metrics, rejection rates by PSP or payment method, processing time, chargeback ratios. You don't need to be an analyst, but you do need to know what to ask and how to read the numbers to make decisions.
- Ability to design and run A/B tests in the checkout environment: clear hypotheses, defined success metrics, sound reading of results, and the ability to scale what works.
- AI-native working mindset. You actively use AI tools as part of your daily workflow — not as a gimmick, but as a genuine productivity multiplier. That means using LLMs to draft and refine user stories, generate test cases, summarize research, or structure PRDs faster. You're comfortable evaluating AI-powered product features (e.g. smart payment routing, fraud detection models, personalized checkout experiences) and you know how to write a good prompt as naturally as you know how to write a good acceptance criterion. Bonus if you've explored how AI can improve backlog management, sprint reporting, or stakeholder communication. We're not looking for an AI researcher — we're looking for someone who doesn't wait to be told that a tool exists before they've already been using it for three months.
- Fluent Spanish and English (written and spoken). You don't need to be Shakespeare or Lorca. What matters is that we communicate clearly, understand each other, and can have some fun along the way.
Big plus
- Experience with PSP technical integrations at the API level: webhooks, payment events, transaction state handling, retries. You understand what you're asking BE for and why.
- Knowledge of analytics tools (Amplitude, Datadog, Mixpanel, GA4) applied to payment funnel analysis.
- Experience with CMPs and consent management in checkout flows (Didomi, OneTrust, or similar).
- Familiarity with BI tools (Qlik, Looker, Tableau, Power BI) to build or interpret payments performance reports.
Nice-to-have
- Experience with international payment method expansion projects: checkout localization, local method integration, multicurrencies, product validation in new markets.
- Knowledge of fraud prevention platforms (Ravelin, Ethoca, Kount, Forter, Signifyd, or similar).
- Experience with subscription products or recurring billing models (renewal management, dunning, upgrades/downgrades).
How we think & work
We'd love you to see yourself in these principles — because they're not just words on a page, they show up in the day-to-day:
- Level up. We grow, and we make our teammates grow. If you spot a conversion issue in checkout before anyone reports it, you bring it with context and a proposal. If someone asks why the rejection rate has gone up, you already have the answer — or you know where to find it.
- See it, fix it. We don't let problems rot. If there's a spike in payment errors on a Friday, it doesn't wait until Monday. If there's an obvious friction point in the Checkout Page that's been sitting there for weeks, you put it in the backlog, prioritize it, and get it resolved.
- Always ahead. New payment method gaining traction in a key market? You already have the proposal before the business asks for it. Regulatory change affecting checkout? You're the one warning the team before the compliance email lands.
- Now means now. If something can be decided and moved today, it doesn't wait for the next grooming session. Checkout improvement opportunities don't have patience.
- Team spirit. We collaborate and we have fun. You help IT to understand the user impact of a payment bug, and you help the business understand why adding one more step to checkout isn't free — and both leave the meeting with more context than they came in with.
- Hands-on. You don't wait for someone to describe it to you: you run the purchase flow yourself end to end, break it, test it, and know exactly where it hurts.
- Translator mindset. You can explain to a CFO why improving the authorization rate by 2pp is worth more than shipping a new feature, and explain to IT why the order of fields in a form is not a minor detail. And both walk away nodding.
Benefits
- Real ownership of a critical area. Checkout is where the business is made or lost. You'll have direct ownership over it, with immediate visibility and impact.
- A company where your voice matters. A lot. If you don't enjoy having ownership, defending your decisions, and explaining the why behind every prioritization call — we're probably not the right match.
- A team with high standards. We're passionate about well-crafted product. We get frustrated by technical debt piled up from poor decisions. And we celebrate when something that took three sprints finally ships and the numbers back it up.
