Role
Who you are

- Highly structured thinker who thrives in complex, technical, and data-heavy domains
- Strong analytical skills with hands-on experience in data monitoring and dashboarding
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, able to challenge and align different teams
- Experience leading technical product teams in collaboration with engineers and data scientists
- Ability to break down complexity and drive clarity in ambiguous problem spaces
- Comfortable working on back-end, infrastructure, and operational challenges as much as user-facing features
- Entrepreneurial mindset with a bias for action in a fast-paced environment

- Experience in fintech, payments, fraud, or data products is a plus but not required
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead our Money vision, strategy, and execution
- This includes Passenger payment experience, Fees, Driver balance and payouts (Heetch is the main source of income for most drivers), Fleet portal (70% of drivers are part of a fleet) and financial reporting
- This is a highly strategical and technical role requiring a structured thinker who thrives in complex problem spaces
- While experience in fintech is a plus, we primarily seek someone with strong analytical skills, a deep understanding of data, and the ability to work closely with engineering teams to drive technical initiatives forward
- Define the vision and strategy for the Money domain, ensuring alignment with Heetch’s mission and business objectives
- Own the end-to-end product lifecycle, from discovery to execution, ensuring smooth financial flows for riders, drivers, and internal teams
- Work closely with engineering, data science, and operations to drive impactful product improvements
- Develop clear, measurable objectives (OKRs) and make data-driven decisions. Deep-dive into complex edge cases and identify scalable solutions
- Ensure strong monitoring, reliability, and risk management across all money-related processes
- Build alignment across leadership and business stakeholders, ensuring seamless communication
- Challenge and refine requirements with business teams to focus on impact and feasibility
- Drive maximum impact based on data analysis, market research, and company strategy
- Be hands-on with data: dashboards, monitoring key metrics to measure success
- Proactively identify and mitigate risks, anticipating bottlenecks and trade-offs
Our take
Heetch is looking to carve out its own niche in the ride-sharing industry, and taking on Uber is no small feat. They’ve been laying down a strong service and reputational foundation, though. For drivers, Heetch only takes a 15% commission to Uber’s 25%, and doesn’t use driver ratings as a way of reporting problems. For customers, rides are cheaper than an UberX, and are designed to have a younger, funner feel.
So how well is this strategy working? Well, Heetch is second behind Uber in France, and has spread to a couple of neighbouring countries like Belgium and Italy. Predominantly, however, its expansion is focused on francophone regions in Africa like Algeria, Cameroon, Senegal, and the Ivory Coast.
This could prove a smart move, as Uber has yet to dominate many of the African markets, thanks to smaller companies offering locally tailored and more effective competing services. These same problems are likely to plague Heetch, too, but with the leader off its top spot, there may be more room to manoeuvre.
