Product Managers at PPRO have the passion and abilities for ensuring that we focus our time and energy on building the right things for our customers. You will set direction, communicate with all relevant stakeholders and lead effective product discoveries with your team & own the end outcomes with the deliveries. Our mission is to make local payment methods as ubiquitous and accessible as credit cards.
