Job description

Distribusion is the world’s leading ground transportation marketplace and gives travelers seamless access to ground transportation online, from search to ticket purchase. We have built a cutting-edge B2B technology platform that connects bus, rail, and ferry operators in 70+ countries with the biggest online retailers, including Google Maps and Booking.com.

We are shaping the future of travel and building the largest global network of transport providers and retailers. Having grown 10x in the past year, we are one of the fastest-growing startups in travel. Backed by three leading VCs (Creandum, Northzone, and Lightrock), and now, following our recent €30 m Series B, we are ready to push beyond.

We are looking for a Lead Product Manager to build the financial infrastructure behind millions of transactions.

Distribusion is transforming from a marketplace enabler to a global travel infrastructure provider — and Financial Services is our newest, highest-impact department. We're looking for a Lead Product Manager to shape the future of payments, fraud prevention, and checkout experiences for both partners and end customers.

This is a unique opportunity to build a foundational product area from scratch. You’ll define strategy, lead cross-functional squads, and scale systems that process high volumes in complex, regulated environments. If you’re experienced in global PSP integrations, risk systems, and smart routing — and thrive on execution and impact — this role is for you.

What you will do:

  • Own the product vision and roadmap for payments, checkout, fraud, and routing

  • Design scalable APIs and tools for internal teams and external merchants

  • Define KPIs and frameworks for PSP performance, fraud rates, and acceptance

  • Lead discovery and delivery in a high-volume, regulated transaction environment

  • Align commercial, technical, and financial stakeholders across markets

  • You’ll turn payments into a growth driver — boosting acceptance, reducing fraud, and improving conversion

  • Align engineering, finance, compliance, and commercial teams

  • Define and track KPIs like fraud rates, PSP performance, and routing success

  • Lead product discovery and delivery in a high-stakes, high-volume environment

  • Drive real business impact through higher acceptance rates, lower fraud, and improved conversion

Workplace:

We are mainly looking for this role to be based within Germany, preferably in our HQ in Berlin.

We are a remote-first company, with teams located around the Globe and our HQ office in Berlin, where the team often meets in the office.

Job requirements

Who you are:

  • You’ve led complex payment or fraud systems, ideally from scratch

  • Skilled in routing efficiency, fraud mitigation, and conversion optimization

  • Hands-on with global PSPs (e.g., Adyen, Stripe, dLocal) and fraud tools (e.g., Sift, Signifyd)

  • Strong in data — you define, analyze, and act on key metrics

  • Technically fluent and comfortable working with engineers on architecture and APIs

  • Experienced in cross-functional alignment (commercial, legal, compliance, finance)

  • Thrive in ambiguity and build clarity and momentum quickly

  • Nice to have: Experience with emerging markets or LATAM, smart routing, or scoring models

What you can expect:

  • You will join a fast-paced travel tech company and take on a rapidly growing industry

  • You will take on ownership and responsibility from day one and have a direct impact on the success of the company

  • We value agility! We’re constantly updating our tech stack and offer the best possible tools to ensure all of our in-house engineers, partners, and carriers benefit from cutting-edge, efficient solutions

  • You will work with global companies. Our product attracts the biggest names in travel technology, such as Booking.com, and Google Maps, and national carriers like Amtrak, Deutsche Bahn, Renfe, and SNCF

  • You will join an international team of talented and driven people with a clear mission. Expect your colleagues to inspire, support, and challenge you every day!

  • We offer flexible and remote working conditions, relocation opportunities, and career growth in a small and developing company

Our hiring process for this role:

Your Talent Partner (TP) and point of contact is Ceren Volkan, and the Hiring Manager (HM) is Francesc Ferre.
