Director Product Management Core Platforms

About the Role

Our goal is to become the leader in payments and embedded software for international property, making it faster, simpler and safer to buy property abroad.

Our new offering will cater to the different stakeholders involved in the process, from the buyers and sellers themselves to legal service firms and title companies to property management, banks and real estate agents. Underpinning this is the core platform, which is fundamental to the business infrastructure.

As we expand into new geographies, the need to remain compliant and adhere to local regulatory standards, whilst maintaining global scalability, becomes increasingly more important. Their core platform will fuel this growth and coupled with our new B2B offering, the buying and selling of international property to be easier than ever.

What Youll Do

you will take on ownership of the Core platform, which spans; registration, onboarding, KYC/AML, payment types, integrations that exist with banking partners and 3rd party providers, treasury management, account functionalities, APIs and data.

Given the verticalisation in the residential property market which tends to be local, there is a need to enhance the core platform in a way that addresses the regional dependencies, whilst removing the need for creating bespoke solutions for each market.
