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.\nThe Role\nThis 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.\nBeyond 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.\nYou 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.\nKey Responsibilities\nDefine 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\nExpose these services as clean, well-versioned APIs in partnership with the API governance function, evolving them without breaking dependent teams or customers\nTake the platform’s data products - analytics and reporting APIs - from discovery through launch, iteration and monetisation\nBuild out the enterprise feature set that supports the move upmarket: single sign-on, role-based access, audit, usage and entitlements, and multi-organisation support\nExtend 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\nOwn 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\nBalance the competing demands of multiple product teams and customers, weighing foundational investment against near-term asks, and making confident build-versus-buy calls\nWork with security, privacy and legal to ensure the platform meets its obligations in a regulated environment\nDefine 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\nYour Profile\n5+ years in product management with a strong track record on platform, infrastructure or API products\nTechnically fluent: able to lead architecture and API discussions, weigh trade-offs and review designs with engineers\nA systems thinker who has owned foundational services or platform primitives - identity, accounts, permissions or an API gateway - including the contracts and versioning that keep consumers stable\nFamiliar with multi-tenant architecture and the building blocks of enterprise access: RBAC/ABAC, SSO, SCIM, and standards such as OAuth2, SAML and OpenID Connect\nHas built products on top of data (analytics or reporting APIs), or has a clear grasp of what that takes\nExperienced in integrating core business systems - billing, CRM, entitlements - and keeping data consistent across them\nA strong cross-functional operator: able to align stakeholders, drive outcomes through teams you don’t manage, and explain technical trade-offs to any audience\nCommercially fluent: understands enterprise buyers and partners well with commercial and marketing on packaging and go-to-market\nExperience in a regulated industry - fintech, payments or banking - and comfortable with the obligations of handling sensitive data\nValuable extras: a background in open banking, Open Finance or financial infrastructure; experience taking a platform upmarket to enterprise customers; API lifecycle management (versioning, deprecation, backward compatibility); and familiarity with agent identity and modern authorisation patterns such as OAuth scopes, on-behalf-of delegation and MCP-style auth.\nEarly Success\nWithin the first six to twelve months, you will have mapped the platform’s core services and their consumers, established clear ownership of the API contracts and a versioning approach teams trust, shipped the first monetised iteration of the data products, and put the enterprise access foundations - and the first agent-identity capabilities - on a credible roadmap that commercial teams can sell against.\nWhy Join\nOwn the layer everything else is built on - rare end-to-end platform scope, from identity primitives to monetised data products\nWork at the frontier of agent identity and machine-to-machine authorisation, one of the most consequential open problems in financial infrastructure\nGenuine commercial exposure: pricing, packaging and enterprise go-to-market, not just backlog management\nA collaborative, low-ego product and engineering culture with a bias for action and high individual ownership\nHybrid working with real flexibility, including the option to work abroad for part of the year","description_format":"text","description_chars":5765,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":5,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-16T10:34:31Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":4,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.153,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":99,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:18","agency","stale_co","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T06:10:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/pcn-senior-product-manager-core-platform-data","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/pcn-senior-product-manager-core-platform-data.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-23T03:19:10Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":5473,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-24T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":50615},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=50615"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fpcn-senior-product-manager-core-platform-data"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fpcn-senior-product-manager-core-platform-data"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fpcn-senior-product-manager-core-platform-data"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/pcn-senior-product-manager-core-platform-data\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fpcn-senior-product-manager-core-platform-data"}]}
