Senior Product Manager - Rewards & Payments

Department: Product

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: Remote

Reporting To: SVP, Payments Products

Description

The ZBD app lets users jump into a universe of games and apps, connect with friends and earn Bitcoin while having fun. ZBD also empowers developers to embed bitcoin payments into video games and applications, such as podcasting and music streaming. ZBDs unique proposition enables these partner developers to better monetise their games and apps by allowing users to receive micro-rewards for actions taken in the game or app. ZBD provides this functionality by leveraging Bitcoin and the Lightning Network protocol.

The ZBD Rewards product is the foundation of our offering today. We're expanding our rewards offering and looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead this critical product line, including our Rewards SDK and supporting infrastructure. You will be focused on scaling adoption, improving conversion, and ensuring the product delivers clear commercial value for our partners and for ZBD.

While your primary focus will be ZBD Rewards, were looking for someone who brings a broader fintech mindset and can evolve with us as we expand into more payment-related products.

The business comprises almost 70 employees - across development, marketing, compliance, operations, technology, customer success and customer support - from Los Angeles to New York, London, Amsterdam and So Paulo.

ZBD is a fully remote company. We hire, retain and develop the best talent from around the world, wherever s/he/they may choose to live. As a result, every member of the ZBD team must demonstrate an ability to work independently and thrive in a remote environment.
