OUR MISSION
The open banking platform that lets you build what’s next
Yapily is an open banking infrastructure platform solving a fundamental problem in financial services today: access. Historically, card networks have monopolised the global movement of money, and banks have monopolised the ownership of, and access to, financial data.
Europe’s most extensive coverage
With coverage across 19 countries (and counting) for retail, business, and corporate accounts, Yapily powers global expansion.
Yapily was founded to challenge these structures and create a global open economy that works for everyone. We exist behind the scenes, securely connecting companies - from growth to enterprise - to thousands of banks worldwide, enabling them to access data and initiate payments through the power of open banking.
We are seeking an experienced and visionary Senior Product Manager to lead Yapily’s Core Payments & Data portfolio including Core APIs and the Hosted Pages products. Our payments and data APIs connect our customers to thousands of banks and enable them to create smoother user journeys and eliminate unnecessary fees. This role holds a significant level of responsibility and scope within Yapily, spearheading the development and strategic growth of our core products. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of building user-centric web products, as well as deep experience in API design and development.
This is an incredible opportunity to be a leader in Open Banking and re-invent the way we think about and process payments and data. You will lead the effort to position Yapily as the frontrunner in Open Banking and Open Finance, by managing the strategy and execution of core product initiatives and by delivering products that provide the best developer and end user experience.
