What will I be doing?

-

Set the strategic direction and multi-year roadmap for payout methods globally — new rails, coverage expansion, redundancy architecture, and conversion performance.

-

Lead and develop a team of product managers focused on payment methods, local rails, and operational excellence.

-

Define and drive the metrics that matter: conversion rate, reliability, time-to-payout, cost per transaction — and build the systems to continuously improve them.

-

Own key partner relationships globally: banks, local payment providers, and infrastructure partners. Negotiate and shape integrations that give dLocal a long-term edge.

-

Drive an automation-first culture in payouts — systematically identifying manual processes and leading the product investment to eliminate them.

-

Represent payouts product strategy with senior commercial and merchant stakeholders; be the voice of the vertical in executive conversations.

-

Partner closely with Engineering, Finance, Compliance, and Commercial leadership to ensure our payout methods scale with regulatory, commercial, and merchant requirements.

-

Set the bar for product quality: API design, documentation, rollout processes, and post-launch iteration.

-

Bring an AI-first lens to the vertical — identifying where AI-powered tooling can improve operations, decision-making, and product discovery.

What skills do I need?

-

Significant product leadership experience in fintech or payments, with a track record of building and shipping payment infrastructure at scale (payouts, payins, cards, wallets, bank transfers).

-

Experience leading and growing product teams — you know how to hire, develop, and create clarity for PMs.

-

Deep familiarity with global payment ecosystems: local rails, partner dynamics, regulatory context, and market nuances across multiple geographies.

-

Strong executive presence — able to influence without authority, drive alignment across senior stakeholders, and represent the product in commercial and merchant conversations.

-

Technically fluent: comfortable shaping API strategy, reviewing architecture trade-offs with engineers, and translating complex operational requirements into scalable product solutions.

-

Data-driven at a strategic level — you use metrics not just to monitor, but to set direction and make bets.

-

Automation mindset backed by results: you've built or led the build of systems that replaced manual operational work.

-

Based in Europe, working CET (or close), with flexibility to engage across global time zones.

-

Fluent in English; strong written communication across PRDs, specs, and executive narratives.
