Company Description
We’re Checkout.com. You might not know our name, but companies like eBay, Spotify, Klarna, Uber, and Sony do, because we’re behind many of the digital experiences you use every day.
We are where the world checks out, enabling over 10 billion transactions yearly for more than one billion global shoppers.
Whether you want to book a holiday, order food, renew a subscription, or check out online, there’s a good chance our tech powers the payments behind the scenes. Our platform helps the most ambitious businesses deliver effortless digital experiences, at scale.
If you want to do career-defining work, you’ve come to the right place. We move fast, think globally, and believe great teams are built by hiring exceptional people with conviction, curiosity, and the desire to make an impact.
With 20 offices across six continents and London as our HQ, we’re shaping the future of fintech – and we’re just getting started.
This role owns one of Checkout.com’s most strategic bets: becoming the system of record for payment credentials, independent of acquiring.
You will lead Vault and Forward API - the core infrastructure that enables PSP-agnostic architectures, network-token-first strategies, and the shift toward PAN-less commerce.
This is a mini-GM role spanning product strategy, infrastructure, and commercial ownership.
Define and drive a 12 - 36 month strategy for Vault and Forward API
Own pricing, packaging, and revenue expansion (including standalone Vault deals)
Build and defend investment cases (cost-to-serve, scheme fees, unit economics)
Partner with Sales and Solutions to win enterprise, multi-PSP merchants
Define core primitives: instruments, customers, tokens, multi-instrument linking, metadata
Own PCI DSS 4.x posture and translate compliance into merchant value
Ensure first-class integration with network tokens and account updater services
Drive interoperability with wallets, Flow, and broader Checkout.com surfaces
Own credential forwarding: source resolution, request construction, encryption, token injection, and response handling
Expand beyond fallback use cases (fraud tools, 3DS, loyalty, partner migrations)
Ensure reliability, latency, and observability on the critical payment path
Build debugging and visibility tools for developers
Own the public API surface across Vault and Forward
Drive SDKs, documentation, and reference architectures
Reduce integration time from months to days
Partner with Engineering to deliver reliably at scale
Align with Risk, Compliance, and Legal on PCI scope, regulation, and scheme changes
Work across Authentication, Routing, and other product teams to ensure seamless credential flows
5+ years in product management, including 3+ years in payments
Experience building developer-facing APIs (REST, webhooks, idempotency, error design)
Strong technical fluency (OAuth, mTLS, encryption, system design trade-offs)
Deep understanding of the card stack (auth, capture, disputes, scheme economics)
Strong grasp of tokenisation (network, PSP, device-based)
Familiarity with PCI DSS (ideally v4.x) and scope reduction
Experience with scheme programs (VTS, MDES, account updater)
Ability to own P&L inputs and pricing strategy
Data-driven decision making with clear success metrics
Comfortable operating across product, engineering, sales, and compliance
Customer-obsessed with real merchant empathy
Clear communicator across technical and non-technical audiences
High ownership with strong cross-functional collaboration
Experience building PSP-agnostic vaults or forwarding layers
Exposure to regulated markets (EU, UAE, India, Brazil)
Familiarity with emerging models (e.g. agentic commerce)
Industry presence (writing, speaking, or scheme participation)
We create the conditions for high performers to thrive, through real ownership, fewer blockers, and work that makes a difference from day one.
