Product Owner – Payments


Location: Hybrid (London, Manchester, or Maidenhead)
Role Type: Full-time, Permanent

 

ClearAccept – our in-house payments platform – powers seamless transactions across 30+ software businesses within the ClearCourse group. We're now looking for an experienced Product Owner to lead the next evolution of our payments product suite.

This is a hands-on role with broad scope, covering everything from payment acceptance through to reconciliation, funding, and fee generation. You'll work closely with internal teams and third-party partners to shape and deliver a roadmap that’s both technically robust and commercially impactful.

 

What You’ll Be Doing:


You’ll take end-to-end ownership of the product roadmap, acting as the bridge between commercial ambition and technical delivery.

 

Key responsibilities include:

 

  • Defining short, medium, and long-term product roadmaps, based on business cases and customer needs

  • Collaborating with internal teams, ISV stakeholders, and partners to prioritise and refine features

  • Writing clear, detailed epics and user stories for delivery by agile development teams

  • Leading and participating in agile ceremonies (refinement, demos, scrum of scrums, etc.)

  • Coordinating with technology and operational teams to gather non-functional and operational requirements

  • Supporting go-to-market activity with documentation and value-based messaging for commercial teams

  • Engaging directly with internal customers during initial adoption and integration

  • Keeping competitor analysis and positioning documents up to date

 

What We’re Looking For:


You’re a technically savvy product owner with a strong understanding of payments – and the drive to build products that make a difference.

 

You’ll need:

 

  • Strong knowledge of how card payments work and the role of gateways/acquirers

  • Experience owning API-based products in an agile software environment

  • Ability to write and communicate detailed user stories, roadmaps, and business cases

  • Strong stakeholder skills – across both technical and non-technical audiences

  • A proactive, self-starting mindset with sharp attention to detail

 

Bonus points for:

 

  • Experience working at a payments gateway, acquirer or payfac

  • Familiarity with tools like Azure DevOps, JIRA, Confluence or LaunchDarkly

  • Knowledge of feature flagging and product rollout strategies

 

Why ClearCourse?


We’re a fast-growing group of software and payments companies, backed by private equity and united by a common tech framework and culture. At ClearAccept, you’ll be part of a core product team building the infrastructure that underpins growth across our group.

 

You’ll also get:

 

  • Hybrid working model with UK office flexibility

  • 25 days annual leave + your birthday off

  • Volunteering days

  • Private medical cover & cash plan

  • Enhanced company pension

  • Life Assurance & Group Income Protection

  • Employee wellbeing perks (e.g. Calm app, gym discounts, cycle-to-work)

  • Retail discounts & Employee Assistance Programme

 

Join us and help shape the future of integrated payments – in a role where you’ll see real impact from day one.
