The Company
Our client is a UK-headquartered fintech scale-up operating at the heart of open banking. Their API platform connects businesses to banks across Europe, enabling account-to-account payments and access to financial data, and is relied upon by leading technology and payments brands as core infrastructure. With regulation and AI reshaping how money and data move, they are investing in the platform foundations that will carry their next phase of growth, including how enterprise customers, and increasingly AI agents, connect to it.
The Role
This is the product role that owns the core of the platform: the account, identity, and access layer that every other product is built on and that thousands of customers integrate with. You will set the strategy and standards for these foundational services, own the API contracts that internal teams and external customers depend on, and make sure they can evolve without breaking anyone downstream.
Beyond the core, you will own the data products built on top of it — analytics and reporting APIs with real commercial potential — and the enterprise capabilities (SSO, granular access control, audit, entitlements) that support the company’s move upmarket. A distinctive frontier of the role is extending identity and access to AI agents and machine identities, with modern authorisation patterns to match.
You will sit within the product team as an individual contributor, reporting to a senior product leader, working day-to-day with engineering and partnering with commercial and marketing on pricing, packaging and go-to-market. It suits a systems thinker who is credible in an architecture review and equally comfortable in a commercial conversation.

Key Responsibilities
- Define and drive the strategy, roadmap and data models for the platform’s core services — accounts, identity and access — and the API gateway that exposes them
- Expose these services as clean, well-versioned APIs in partnership with the API governance function, evolving them without breaking dependent teams or customers
- Take the platform’s data products — analytics and reporting APIs — from discovery through launch, iteration and monetisation
- Build out the enterprise feature set that supports the move upmarket: single sign-on, role-based access, audit, usage and entitlements, and multi-organisation support
- Extend identity and access to AI agents and machine identities, with scoped, time-bound, revocable and auditable credentials, and authorisation flows that respect end-user consent
- Own the platform’s integrations with the systems the business runs on — billing, CRM and compliance tooling — keeping accounts, usage and entitlements consistent end to end
- Balance the competing demands of multiple product teams and customers, weighing foundational investment against near-term asks, and making confident build-versus-buy calls
- Work with security, privacy and legal to ensure the platform meets its obligations in a regulated environment
- Define and track the metrics that matter for a platform: internal adoption, reliability and latency, data quality, and the satisfaction of the teams and customers building on it
