Product Manager – Payments & Transactions at SureGifts

SureGifts provides convenient voucher solutions to individuals and corporates. We are on a mission to lead digital value transfers via vouchers across Africa and beyond.
We are a team of smart, multitalented people, looking to do the extraordinary, from the most unlikely part of the world. We have worked hard to get to where we are and we are always looking for smart people willing to get their hands dirty and build with us.Role Overview

We are looking for a Product Manager to own the SureGifts product roadmap. 
You will be responsible for driving delivery across our enterprise platform, consumer app, merchant integrations, and internal tooling – working closely with Engineering, CS, BD, and Finance to ensure the right things get built, clearly scoped, and shipped on time.
This is a high-ownership role. You will be the primary product function in the business, working directly with the Technology Lead and MD to set product direction, write requirements, manage delivery, and measure outcomes.
You need to be comfortable bringing structure to a fast-moving environment and translating messy commercial or operational problems into clear product decisions.

Key Responsibilities

Own and maintain a prioritised product roadmap across the enterprise platform, consumer app, merchant integrations, and internal tooling
Write clear product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria that help Engineering move quickly and confidently
Improve core voucher journeys across issuance, redemption, wallet funding, reporting, settlement visibility and reconciliation.
Manage delivery dependencies across Engineering, CS, BD, and Finance on a weekly basis
Lead the consumer app roadmap, including loyalty, rewards, and wallet features
Own merchant redemption and acceptance projects from commercial alignment through scoping, testing, deployment and post-launch monitoring
Use product analytics to track usage, redemption behaviour, funnel performance and product impact across voucher volume, retention and operational efficiency
Collaborate with the MD and Technology Lead on product strategy, roadmap trade-offs, and build vs. buy decisions.

Core Requirements

2 to 5 years in a product management role, with at least 2 years in fintech, payments, or e-commerce
Experience shipping consumer-facing mobile products
Exposure to B2B platform work: enterprise portals, API-driven integrations, or business-facing tooling
Experience working directly with Engineering to scope, prioritise and deliver integrations
Comfortable being the primary product function without a supporting PM structure around you
Strong communication skills across technical and commercial stakeholders

Nice to Have:

Experience with loyalty, rewards, wallet-based, or gamification product mechanics
Familiarity with the Nigerian or broader African market and consumer behaviour
Exposure to payment infrastructure, voucher systems, or merchant acceptance networks
Prior experience as the first or sole PM in a growing technology company

Ideal Candidate Profile:

Comfortable owning a wide product surface without waiting for everything to be defined
Able to move quickly from messy problems to clear specs; and from clear specs to shipped outcomes
Equally at home in a room with engineers discussing architecture and in a meeting with clients discussing experience
Driven by shipping outcomes, not managing roadmaps
Excited about building product infrastructure that creates real value for businesses and consumers across Africa.
