Job Description: Product Manager - Payments
Company Overview
Gladstone has been transforming leisure management software for over 40 years. Our platforms power bookings, memberships and payments for councils, universities, trusts and leisure operators across the UK and Ireland.
We're investing heavily in the future of our products, and we're looking for a Product Manager to lead one of our most important strategic programmes.
Your initial focus will be our payments platform, delivering improvements that enhance the customer experience and support business growth. You'll thrive in this role if you enjoy bringing order to complexity, building alignment across teams, and turning ambitious plans into successful delivery.
Key Responsibilities
Product Delivery
- Drive the delivery of a strategic payments investment, balancing ambitious timescales with quality, collaboration and customer outcomes.
- Work closely with engineering teams to translate business and customer needs into clear priorities.
- Proactively identify, manage and communicate delivery risks, project dependencies and critical paths to keep delivery on schedule.
- Navigate the practical realities of payments delivery, including working with payment service providers and gateways, compliance and regulatory considerations, and how pricing models translate into technical and commercial decisions.
Stakeholder Management
- Build strong relationships across Product, Engineering, Commercial, Finance and Customer Success.
- Coordinate delivery with third-party development partners, influencing outcomes without direct authority.
- Provide clear, regular communication to stakeholders throughout delivery.
- Encourage collaboration across the business to ensure successful adoption of new products and features.

- Experience in a Product Manager, Product Owner or similar software product role.
- A track record of delivering software products to demanding timescales.
- Strong planning, organisational and dependency management skills.
- Experience working closely with Agile software development teams.
