Product Manager, Currency Expansion & Payments - Europe

Back to jobsProduct Manager, Currency Expansion & Payments - EuropeLondon UKApplyAbout Us OpenFX is on a mission to move money as freely as data, unrestricted by time zones, banking hours, or legacy systems. We are building the infrastructure that will power the next generation of cross-border payment systems for institutions. The team's execution has been exceptional, and we're scaling at a remarkable pace. Our stellar early team comes with experience in companies like J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, FalconX, Paypal, Affirm, Polygon, Kraken, Nium & others. We’re backed by Accel, Lightspeed, NfX and other top-tier investors. Role Overview We are looking for a Product Manager to own currency expansion across Europe. Every new currency unlocks new corridors for our institutional clients, directly driving trading volume and revenue. Your mandate is to scale aggressively across the region: sourcing liquidity providers, standing up settlement rails with banking partners, navigating jurisdiction-specific compliance, and ensuring every currency you launch meets the reliability bar our clients expect. You will run your regional currency roadmap with independence. You will set pricing. You will prioritize engineering effort. You report to the PM for Payments & Currencies, who sets strategic prioritization for which currencies matter most based on payout corridor relevance. You own the how and the when. If you have shipped cross-border payment products, worked with banking or card network infrastructure, or built API-driven financial products across jurisdictions, this role will feel familiar. The difference is you will be doing it at the frontier of stablecoin-settled FX infrastructure, where the rails are new and the playbook is yours to write. What You'll Actually Do Own Corridor Launch. You own every currency in your European pipeline from Alpha through General Availability. You track Liquidity Partner onboarding, settlement rail readiness, compliance clearance, operational setup and pricing. You run readiness reviews, maintain the launch checklist, and make the go/no-go call. Nothing goes live in Europe without your sign-off. Prioritize Engineering. You work with engineers to deliver against your roadmap. You write specs, set sprint priorities, and partner with your EM to ensure capacity is allocated to the highest-impact currencies. Work Directly with LPs and Banking Partners. You are the product voice in LP onboarding and banking partner discussions. You understand what it takes to stand up a new currency pair technically, what banking partners need to enable settlement, and how to translate partner constraints into product decisions. You set pricing for new pairs and run pricing experiments to drive volume. Navigate Multi-Market Regulatory Complexity. Each currency comes with jurisdiction-specific compliance requirements across the UK, EU, and broader European markets. You work with Legal and Regulatory to understand what is needed, translate requirements into engineering and product decisions, and ensure no currency launches without clearance. Drive Post-Launch Adoption. A currency is not done at launch. You track whether clients are actually trading new corridors, partner with GTM to drive activation, identify friction points, and feed insights back into prioritization. Build the Regional Launch Playbook. You build a repeatable, documented process for launching currencies across Europe, covering every dependency, gate criterion, and handoff. You iterate on it after every launch so the next 15 currencies follow a predictable path. What Success Looks Like Launch Discipline: You reduce average time from Alpha to GA by establishing a repeatable process. Every currency that reaches GA has passed all readiness criteria. No launch is rolled back due to missed dependencies, incomplete rails, or compliance gaps. OKR Delivery: You hit currency expansion targets for Europe on time and to the quality bar required for institutional...
