About the Team

• The Product Strategy & Operations team supports Paystack’s CEO and product leadership to develop product strategy, deliver analysis to drive the business forward, and incubate new products.


• The team may dig into winning new market segments with our sales team, help plan, build and launch new products with a team of engineers and designers, or independently define new strategic opportunities for Paystack to pursue on its product roadmap. 


• This is a broad and dynamic role that leads mission critical, cross-functional efforts across Paystack to bring together the right experts from all parts of the business (e.g. legal, partnerships, finance) to develop a holistic perspective on product strategy and to manage execution.


• Whatever it is we work on will move the needle most for Paystack and our users. We care about impact - not activity - and we have fun doing it. If you like to solve hard problems, are analytical, and are a great teammate, we want to hear from you!

• Explore and strike new partnership opportunities for Paystack to scale across Africa


• Design and implement cross-functional systems and processes that Paystack needs to grow at scale


• Incubate and help run new product teams


• Partner with other teams to help them execute on important strategic initiatives or drive operational scale and efficiency

Requirements

• You have 5 - 10 years of work experience. We care most about ability and potential, and this role will offer you a greater degree of responsibility and growth than you will find in other jobs.

• You enjoy doing whatever it takes to execute on complex projects.
