At Engine by Starling, we are on a mission to find and work with leading banks all around the world who have the ambition to build rapid growth businesses, on our technology.

Engine is Starling's software-as-a-service (SaaS) business, the technology that was built to power Starling Bank, and two years ago we split out as a separate business.

Who are Engine by Starling?

Engine by Starling is transforming the banking landscape with our cutting-edge core banking software. Originally developed to power Starling, our cloud-native SaaS platform is now enabling banks and financial institutions globally to modernize operations and deliver exceptional digital banking experiences.

Headquartered in the UK, we are now scaling globally and have offices in New York, Charlotte (NC), Toronto, Dublin, Dubai and Sydney. We have recently publicly announced our major investment into the US market and are looking to build the initial team to crack the market. Read more about our North American ambitions here.

Travel (including international) may be necessary depending on the team location, active clients and nature of our engagement with them.

About the role

We’re looking for an exceptional Propositions Manager to join Engine as we accelerate our expansion in North America. This is a unique opportunity to define and build the next generation of our US Cards proposition, working at the intersection of product strategy and client engagement.

As one of the senior leaders in our US business, you’ll be responsible for shaping the vision, strategy and roadmap for a key area of our platform, ensuring it meets the needs of US financial institutions while aligning with Engine’s broader global product strategy.

This is a highly hands-on role. You’ll be expected to work directly with clients, internal stakeholders and engineering teams to translate market opportunities into market-leading products. One day you may be defining long-term product strategy with executive leadership; the next you may be refining requirements with engineers or validating product decisions with prospective customers.

Success in this role requires someone who is equally comfortable operating independently as part of a small senior leadership team in North America and collaborating across a larger, highly capable Product and Engineering organisation based in the UK. You’ll need to influence without hierarchy, build strong relationships across multiple disciplines, and help ensure that the unique needs of the US market are reflected in Engine’s global platform.

We’re looking for someone with deep expertise in the US credit card market, including a strong understanding of issuer products, customer expectations, operational processes and the broader payments ecosystem. Experience delivering products for banks, card issuers, processor platforms or modern banking/card technology providers is highly desirable. You will have the opportunity to shape our go-to-market cards proposition, working directly with prospects and existing clients.

If you’re passionate about building products from the ground up, enjoy solving complex commercial and technical challenges, and want to help shape the future of banking technology in North America, we’d love to hear from you.

What you'll get to do.

Define and evolve our US Card product and proposition

• Own the vision and strategy for our Cards proposition in the US, balancing market needs, client requirements and long-term platform scalability.
• Translate market opportunities into clear product requirements, ensuring new capabilities are designed to be reusable across multiple financial institutions rather than bespoke for individual clients.

Partner with clients to deliver successful outcomes

• Lead product discovery with client banks, understanding their existing card portfolios, operating models and future product ambitions.
• Translate complex business requirements into clear product solutions, identifying where capabilities already exist, where configuration is sufficient and where platform enhancements are required.
• Perform product gap analysis and make pragmatic recommendations that balance client needs with long-term platform strategy.
• Support complex implementation programmes, acting as Cards Product SME, providing product leadership through design workshops, delivery, testing and production readiness.
• Represent the product with senior client stakeholders, supporting strategic discussions, solution workshops and executive presentations where required.

Collaborate across global teams

• Work closely with Product, Engineering, Architecture, Design and Client Success teams in both the US and UK to deliver high-quality product outcomes.
