How would you support our success?
Your role
As a Product Manager within Silverfin’s Markets team, you are accountable for the success of a defined product domain or regional feature set within the Silverfin platform. You operate at the intersection of customer value, regulatory compliance, and commercial impact.
You own the full lifecycle of your product area, from problem discovery and validation through to delivery, launch, and continuous improvement. Working as part of an empowered product trio alongside Engineering and Design, you define what we build, why it matters, and how it delivers measurable value to both customers and Silverfin.
A core part of your role is ensuring Silverfin remains compliant, trusted, and relevant in the markets we serve. By developing a deep understanding of local accounting, audit, and tax requirements, you translate regulatory change into clear product direction and prioritised outcomes.
You collaborate closely with regional teams, Functional Analysts, subject matter experts, and customers to ensure that what we build fits naturally into local workflows while remaining aligned with Silverfin’s broader strategy. Your impact is reflected in stronger customer outcomes, improved product adoption, and sustained commercial success across your markets.
