Why Choose Bottomline?

Are you ready to transform the way businesses pay and get paid? Bottomline is a global leader in business payments and cash management, with over 30 years of experience and moving more than $10 trillion in payments annually. We're looking for passionate individuals to join our team and help drive impactful results for our customers. If you're dedicated to delighting customers and promoting growth and innovation - we want you on our team!

The Role:

We are seeking an experienced technical product manager to join our team and oversee our new API (application programming interfaces) management platform. This platform is a crucial access point for global business payment services, catering to large corporations, banks, and financial institutions. With Bottomline's worldwide API offerings, we aim to enhance our customers’ operations, streamline their processes, and boost business performance. This position requires a deep understanding of API design principles, industry best practices, and emerging technologies to drive innovation and maximise the value of the API ecosystem. 

 

As a Product Manager (PM), you will collaborate closely with senior product management colleagues and highly technical agile development teams to support the strategic vision. You will oversee the API management platform's planning initiatives, implementation, evolution, and maintenance. This will involve gathering and prioritising product and customer requirements, leading and collaborating with multiple scrum teams and managing stakeholder expectations. You will lead a team to deliver API capabilities to customers and product line teams by managing the release backlog and working with the scrum team, technical lead, and architectural lead to define stories, use cases, and requirements. You will be expected to understand the dynamics of a public cloud-ready SaaS (software as a service) solution and the value of incremental delivery within a CI/CD pipeline. 

How you will contribute 

  • Collaborate with stakeholders to establish the priorities for the API management platforms’ roadmap, ensuring the platform’s effective implementation, rollout, and adoption across the portfolio. 
  • Ensure that the platform complies with functional, non-functional, and technical standards and requirements that are aligned with business objectives and market demands and that it delivers value to the business through adoption, performance, and reliability. 
  • Maintain a prioritised backlog for the API management platform team. Work closely with the technical and architect domain leads to ensure the API management platform's scalability, security, and reusability. 
  • Ensure that epics and user stories are “developer-ready” and take ownership of the accuracy and quality of stories, use cases, and specifications. 
  • As the primary subject matter expert, you will facilitate communication between business stakeholders and technical teams, providing a knowledgeable resource for their questions and issues. 
  • Collaborate with internal teams overseeing cross-team dependencies and alignment with teams such as DevOps, product and development, support, IT, and operations. 
  • Communicate API management platform strategy, roadmap, and progress updates to stakeholders and scrum teams, and manage change effectively. 
  • Collaborate with the scrum team to prioritise the delivery of value within the team’s sprint capacity, as indicated by velocity, and expedite the acceptance of work that meets defined definitions of done. 
  • Support the establishment of key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics to measure the platform's success. 
  • Coordinate the tiering assessment for retrofitting legacy APIs to the API management platform and align stakeholders for the evolution of legacy APIs. 
  • Support product lines in identifying API monetization and expansion opportunities and enabling this endeavour. 
  • Communicate new features and functionality to teams, which may involve providing training sessions, internal overviews, FAQs (frequently asked questions), and other process support documentation as needed for enablement. 
  • Stay current with industry trends and regulatory changes related to API platform management and integration technologies. 

Attributes, skills, and experience 

 

Required 

  • 5+ years of product ownership/management experience.  
  • 3+ years of demonstrable knowledge of SDLC and product lifecycle management in an Agile CI/CD environment. 
  • In-depth understanding of API management concepts and processes.

As set forth in Bottomline’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
