Product Manager – Remittances at Salt South Africa

• A fast-growing, purpose-led fintech is looking for a Product Manager to take ownership of its international money transfer product.
• This organisation operates at the intersection of technology, regulation, and real human impact – enabling individuals to move money across borders quickly, securely, and affordably. With a strong social mission and an international footprint, the team is building scalable infrastructure that supports thousands of customers globally.

The Opportunity

• This is not a maintenance role.
• You will own and shape a live, high-volume remittance product operating across multiple markets, currencies, payout methods, and regulatory environments.
• You’ll sit at the heart of the money movement engine – driving strategy, improving transaction success rates, expanding into new corridors, strengthening integrations, and continuously refining the end-to-end customer journey.
• If you enjoy complexity, scale, and solving meaningful financial problems, this role gives you full exposure to:
• Cross-border payments infrastructure
• Mobile money and banking integrations
• Compliance and KYC frameworks
• Conversion optimisation and funnel analytics
• Market expansion strategy
• You will work closely with engineering (frontend and backend), payments specialists, compliance, operations, and customer support to deliver a fast, intuitive, and highly reliable transfer experience.
• Your decisions will directly impact payout speed, reliability, customer trust, and commercial growth.

What You’ll Be Driving

• Improvements to onboarding, transaction success rates, and payout speed
• Expansion into new corridors and payout partners
• Reduced friction in the send journey through UX and flow optimisation
• Scalable, resilient payments and settlement infrastructure
• Strong regulatory and risk alignment across markets
• Data-led experimentation to improve conversion and retention
• Root-cause analysis on failed or delayed transfers
• Competitive positioning against global remittance leaders
• This role requires strategic thinking, operational awareness, and the ability to move between high-level product vision and detailed execution.

What We’re Looking For

• 2-4 years’ Product Management experience
• Background in payments, remittances, fintech, mobile money, or cross-border money movement
• Strong understanding of settlement flows, payments infrastructure, and compliance requirements
• Experience working across both frontend and backend product development
• Comfortable using analytics to drive prioritisation and product decisions
• Clear communicator who can align technical and non-technical stakeholders
