Product Manager, Payments India
Ordering a pizza? Buying a pair of trainers? Watching a movie? Hailing a ride? Chances are Adyen is handling your payment. Adyen’s Global Payments team is responsible for the core payments engine of the Adyen platform. We’ve been evolving our product for payments acceptance in India, optimize payment performance and add new payment features for various use cases. Through our direct connections into the networks such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Rupay and UPI, we can provide the highest quality of payment processing while also leading the market in terms of product innovation.
As a Product Manager in this team you will contribute to our growth by identifying and scoping new product opportunities and lead the product development all the way to launch and post-launch success. Product Managers are in charge of delivering core payment product features to Adyen merchants and work closely together with other Adyen teams in India and across the world, including Engineering, Partnerships, Implementation Management, Compliance, Regulatory and Commercial teams.
What you’ll do:
At our core, we believe in building exceptional products that truly make a difference for our merchants. As a Product Manager, you'll be at the heart of this mission, shaping experiences that are not only seamless but also incredibly valuable.
Champion the Customer Experience
- You'll be obsessed with our merchants' success! They care about effortless, impactful experiences, and that's exactly what you'll deliver. Forget about internal hurdles; your focus will always be on creating solutions that delight our users.
Own Your Product End-to-End
- From the initial vision and strategy to the roadmap, delivery, adoption, and ongoing iteration – you'll be the ultimate owner. We believe in clear accountability, which means one Product Manager for one product. This ensures cohesive decisions, aligned roadmaps, and a clear path for long-term growth. You'll be supported by a collaborative team, but the buck stops with you, tied directly to measurable business outcomes like revenue, cost savings, or increased adoption.
Drive Outcomes, Not Just Features
- Shipping code is just the beginning. Your true success will be measured by the impact you create. We're looking for someone who thinks deeply about why we're building something and how it will change behavior, drive adoption, and deliver tangible results. Imagine enabling merchants to activate payments without needing support – that's the kind of measurable outcome we're talking about!
Embrace a Long-Term Vision
- While immediate goals are important, we also encourage you to look beyond today. Thinking long-term means laying the groundwork now for significant wins 2-3 years down the line. You'll work backward from a compelling vision of success, identifying and building the foundational elements that will propel us forward.
Prioritize with Purpose
- Great Product Managers understand the power of "no." You'll be adept at making tough prioritization calls, and more importantly, clearly articulating why certain decisions are made and the trade-offs involved. If everything's a priority, nothing truly is!
Make Decisive, High-Quality Choices
- We value speed and decisiveness. You won't get bogged down in endless meetings or seek consensus for the sake of it. We encourage making informed decisions quickly, understanding that sometimes mistakes happen – and that's okay, it means progress is being made!
Measure Your Impact
- Understanding the financial health of your product is key. You'll know your numbers inside and out – revenue, cost, and adoption drivers. You'll identify which merchants are scaling and which features are truly moving the needle.
What you won't do:
- Be a "Feature Factory": Our focus is on delivering true value, not just churning out features.
- Act as Operations Support: We solve root problems, allowing our support teams to scale effectively.
- Get Lost in Technical Weeds: While understanding the tech is important, your primary focus remains customer value. You're a product leader, not an engineer.
- Fragment Ownership: We believe in clear, end-to-end accountability for every product.
- Wait for Requirements: You'll be proactive and lead the way, not just execute specs.
- Build Without Understanding: Deeply understanding the problem is fundamental before proposing solutions.
- Confuse Shipping with Success: A launch is merely the starting line; true success is measured by adoption, impact, and continuous learning.
