Who We Are
Modulr is the payments automation platform that streamlines money movement with accuracy, control and reliability, built to scale. We process more than 200m transactions and over £180bn in payment value on an annualised basis, and we're trusted by over 6,000 businesses from fast-growing SMEs to global enterprises.
We automate how money moves into and out of a business (payroll, supplier payments, spend management and payment collection) through a single platform, connected to the accounting and payroll systems finance teams already use, and underpinned by principal memberships of Visa and Mastercard and direct access to central bank infrastructure.
As a regulated payments provider with over a decade of experience, we're the platform finance teams trust to run mission-critical operations. Modulr is backed by PayPal, FIS, General Atlantic, Blenheim Chalcot, Frog Capital and Highland Europe, with over 400 employees across London, Edinburgh, Amsterdam and Mumbai.

What You’ll Do
- Set the product strategy and roadmap for FinOps, PayOps, Compliance, and Service and Platform, defining the workflows, controls and tooling internal teams need to process payments, reconcile accounts, manage exceptions and meet regulatory obligations.
- Work with the Compliance function on case management and financial crime controls, keeping business ownership where it sits today. Prioritise internal demand across hubs, balancing operational risk, regulatory deadlines and efficiency gains.
- Use operational data and time in the hubs to find manual work, error rates and bottlenecks, and turn them into product priorities. Within 12 months, each hub has a named product owner and a measured cost-to-serve baseline.
- Own the operating cost, error rates, cycle times and service levels of the internal platforms, set measures for each hub, and report cost-to-serve and control outcomes to the VP of Experience each quarter.
- Work with the Pay, Trust, Card and Foundation engineering squadlets and their Engineering Managers on delivery and sequencing.
- Lead, coach and develop the product managers in your area.
- Work closely with the Product Directors for External Experience and Partners and API.
