Job Title: Prepaid Card Product Manager

Term: 12 months

Location: Dubai, UAE

Division: Cards & Payments/ Retail Banking

Reports to: SVP- Head of Product

Relevant experience:

6–8 years in card product management, prepaid/digital payments, or fintech -with at least 3 years focused on card issuing or prepaid product lifecycle in the UAE/GCC.

Mandatory requirements:

  1. UAE market experience in prepaid card or digital payments product management
  2. End-to-end prepaid product launch experience (CVP design through go-live)
  3. Professional proficiency in English;
  4. Immediately available or 30- day notice period

PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT The client is preparing to launch a digital wallet based on prepaid card product under its established consumer payment platform -a market-leading app serving secure fee payments, installment plans, and digital enterprise management tools. This role will own the end-to-end product lifecycle of the new prepaid card -from regulatory readiness and CVP definition through BIN setup, scheme onboarding, go-live, and post-launch portfolio optimization as well as the complete life cycle of the wallet proposition. The successful candidate will also carry portfolio management responsibilities across the platform's product ecosystem, ensuring the prepaid card integrates seamlessly with existing payment rails and drives measurable growth in card issuance, activation, and spend. This is a high-impact opportunity to shape a net-new prepaid proposition within a digitally progressive UAE bank that is actively expanding its digital payments footprint

Key Activities

  • Product Launch Execution (~40%): Drive all prepaid card launch workstreams -including UAE Central Bank regulatory submissions, BIN setup, scheme onboarding (Mastercard/Visa), card profiling, KYC/AML flow design, limit configuration, testing, and go-live readiness.
  • CVP Design & Commercialization (~25%): Define the prepaid card customer value proposition (features, pricing, rewards, digital wallet integration Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay), ensuring alignment with the platform's existing user base and the client's broader retail strategy.
  • Portfolio Management & P&L Oversight (~20%): Monitor portfolio performance across activation rates, average load/spend, revenue per active card, churn, and fraud; manage the prepaid card P&L (interchange, fees, funding costs, scheme fees) and recommend actions to improve profitability.
  • Cross-Functional Coordination (~10%): Serve as the central product contact across the client's technology, operations, risk, finance, marketing, and platform teams, as well as external scheme partners and processors.
  • Reporting & Governance (~5%): Prepare monthly performance dashboards and insight packs for senior stakeholders; support steering committees by tracking milestones, risks, and issue resolution.

Core Responsibilities and Accountabilities

  • Own the end-to-end prepaid card product lifecycle -from CVP design, BIN setup, and scheme onboarding through configuration, UAT, pilot launch, full commercialization, and ongoing optimization - ensuring all launch dependencies (card profiles, limits, KYC/AML flows, settlement, fee structures) are delivered on time and to specification.
  • Translate the agreed CVP into clear business requirements, product features, pricing models, and servicing models tailored to the platform's core user segments (parents, schools/institutions, students), ensuring the prepaid card complements existing payment methods (credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, direct debit).
  • Design and execute customer acquisition and activation strategies for the prepaid card across the client's digital and branch channels, building onboarding and first-90-day journeys that maximize activation, first load, and early usage while reducing drop-off and time-to-first-transaction.
  • Manage prepaid card portfolio performance and P&L, monitoring KPIs (active rate, average load/spend, revenue per active, ENR, churn, fraud rate) and recommending data-driven actions to improve profitability and sustainability; review P&L lines including interchange, fees, funding costs, and scheme fees.
  • Continuously enhance the prepaid CVP based on customer feedback, competitor benchmarking, and performance analytics -identifying opportunities for segment-specific propositions (e.g., school-fee?linked prepaid, youth/student prepaid, institutional prepaid) and integrating with the platform's existing ERP, installment, and notification capabilities.
  • Coordinate with scheme partners on scheme pricing, mandates, certifications, and compliance activities; support internal teams on any required scheme certifications and maintain alignment with card network rules and regulations.
  • Act as a product owner in the squad to provide requirement inputs, resolutions to the issues, and to represent Business.

  • Familiarity with UAE Central Bank regulations for prepaid card issuance and stored value facilities
