About the role

This is a startup-within-a-startup role. You will be responsible for building a net new banking product from scratch for the Saudi Arabia market — from ideation through design and launch.

This role is high ambiguity, high complexity, and requires someone who thrives in uncharted territory. There is no playbook — you will write it. You must be comfortable navigating ambiguity, making tactical trade-offs, and moving with execution velocity.

As Product Manager, you will own the end-to-end product lifecycle of a new fintech product that will advance how merchants at Tamara manage their money. You will work daily with a full-stack team — engineers, product designers, researchers, data analysts, operations, and business stakeholders — to ship an innovative and incredible experience.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own the execution, vision & strategy for a net new fintech vertical.

• Work with engineers, designers, data scientists, and commercial teams to drive the roadmap for a net-new product.

• Be technically competent enough to be able to decide on the execution plan while managing several internal technical dependencies.

• Deeply understand the KSA Fintech ecosystem, compliance rules & regulations — and understand how it may impact your roadmap.

• Deeply understand the operational impacts of the products we are releasing & work with risk, compliance, treasury, customer support and others to ensure product success.

• Prototype rapidly using tools like Cursor, Claude & Codex to accelerate product development work.

• Contribute to commercial planning & GTM of the product and own the outcomes.

• Lead a core team of engineers & designers and drive the end to end execution forward.

• Contribute to the evolution of Tamara’s Product Management practices as AI scales our work.

Qualifications:

• You have 4+ years of Product Management experience, with proven experience building 0—>1 products that have shipped and scaled.

• You have worked with early stage product teams or startups and have successfully taken a product from concept to launch.

• You have strong UX taste — you care deeply about the end-to-end customer experience and can hold a high bar for product quality.

• You have experience working on complex, multi-surface products with a large blast radius of impact.

• You are a strong collaborator who works effectively with engineering, design, data, and operations teams on a daily basis.

• You are data-driven — you have strong analytical skills, are comfortable with experimentation, and can use data to inform decisions and measure outcomes.

• You are able to think from first principles, break down complex problems, and navigate ambiguity with confidence.

• You have strong business acumen — you understand unit economics, business models, and can make decisions that balance customer value with business outcomes.

• You understand regulatory requirements and operational considerations that come with building financial products.

• You are customer-obsessed — you aren’t shy about getting on calls with merchants, visiting them, and deeply understanding their needs.

• FinTech experience — you have worked on financial products before and understand the nuances of payments, banking, lending, or adjacent spaces.

• Must have the ability to use AI in their day to day to work. Preferred experience working in high-growth companies.

• Arabic speaking is required for this role — you will work closely with merchants and stakeholders in KSA.
