Staff Product Manager - LATAM

Brazil Market Activation

• Lead the product activation of Nium's Brazil footprint, by owning the roadmap toward direct PIX integration — defining the technical, regulatory, and partnership milestones required to achieve this.

• Drive the product workstream for Nium's Corretora licence application, ensuring product and compliance requirements are translated into executable delivery plans.

• Build and maintain relationships with local infrastructure providers, assessing tradeoffs and advising on partner selection.

• Translate rapidly changing Brazilian regulatory requirements into actionable product decisions — serving as the connective tissue between compliance and product delivery.

• Represent Nium's product interests with local regulators, banking partners, and enterprise clients.

LATAM Expansion

• Oversee product rollouts and localisation in Mexico, Colombia, Chile, and Argentina — ensuring Nium's global product suite is adapted to meet local market, regulatory, and customer needs.

• Establish a product operating model for the LATAM region, including discovery, prioritisation, and delivery frameworks that can operate with limited input from group. 

• Identify and prioritise the highest-value product opportunities across the region, working closely with commercial teams to align product investment with revenue potential.

• Monitor competitor activity across LATAM markets and ensure Nium's product positioning remains competitive.

Cross-functional Leadership

• Partner with Engineering, Compliance, Legal, and Commercial teams — both locally and globally — to deliver against the LATAM product roadmap.

• Influence without authority across a matrixed, globally distributed organisation; build alignment and momentum in an environment with limited formal structure.

• Contribute to Nium's broader product strategy, ensuring LATAM insights and opportunities are visible at the leadership level.

What We're Looking For

Essential

• 5+ years of product management experience in fintech, with meaningful time spent on payments infrastructure, cross-border payments, or financial services in Brazil and/or broader LATAM.

• Deep knowledge of the Brazilian payments ecosystem — PIX, FX services, and the evolving regulatory environment — including hands-on experience building or launching PIX-integrated products.

• Proven track record navigating licensing and regulatory processes in LATAM, with the ability to convert complex compliance requirements into product delivery plans.

• Experience working with or evaluating local financial infrastructure providers with an understanding of the strategic trade-offs involved.

• Demonstrated ability to operate with significant autonomy in fast-moving, resource-constrained environments — you are comfortable setting your own direction.

• Fluency in Portuguese and English; Spanish a strong advantage.

Strongly Preferred

• Experience with payments, wallets, stablecoins in Brazil and / or across the region.

• Background in a high-growth fintech or payments company that has scaled operations in LATAM.

• Exposure to B2B or enterprise payments, particularly cross-border use cases.

• Familiarity with the competitive dynamics of the Brazilian and broader LATAM payments market.

In your first 6 months, you will:

• Establish a clear, prioritised product roadmap for Brazil activation and LATAM regional rollouts.

• Drive meaningful progress toward direct PIX access, including key partnership and regulatory milestones.
