Delivery Lead - Financing London Full-time £79,551 GBP - £90,687 GBP
Klarna
Klarna, briefly
At Klarna, we're building an everyday finance network, helping over 120 million consumers across 26 countries save time and money, and worry less about their finances. Working here means taking on problems most companies never get to solve, and being hands-on enough that the interesting part of the work lands with you, not someone else — you'll build with AI, not watch it happen. This is the stretch zone. Come find out what you're capable of.
About the role
Financing is already live at Klarna. A change to it only counts as finished when merchants are using it, and the path there runs through Product, Pricing, Legal, underwriting and operations. This position owns that path, from an agreed change to a merchant who is switched on. You'll work with incomplete inputs and no perfect brief, and you'll be the person who turns them into a plan. You'll also represent financing with sales and partners, so what is promised outside Klarna matches what is delivered inside it.
What you'll do
You'll hold the end-to-end plan for the Financing team's portfolio: what is launching, in which market, by when, and what has to be true first.
You'll keep each priority moving through its gates, with dated milestones and a named owner for every step.
You'll put the contracts, terms and playbooks in place so commercial teams can sell financing without a one-off negotiation per deal and without waiting on Legal.
You'll take decisions through to live configuration, including market backbook enablement and migrations to current package structures, and resolve issues with payment partners and operations until merchants are switched on.
You'll move new packages and platform integrations from approved to first live merchant, then to a repeatable rollout, and you'll own readiness, go-live and the follow-through.
You'll triage incoming requests to the right owner and run the standing cadences with Pricing, underwriting, Legal and operations.
You'll give leadership a single view of status that they can use without asking follow-up questions.
You'll chase stuck work, whether it's data, risk decisions, legal or partner dependencies, with a specific ask, and you'll escalate early.
Who you are
You've turned incomplete or conflicting inputs into a plan with named owners and dates, and held several teams to it.
You've shipped launches, enablement or commercial tooling on time, and you can say what went live and when, ideally in fintech, lending, ecommerce or BNPL.
You act on obstacles without waiting for a perfect brief.
You've represented a product to sales, merchants and partners, set expectations, and reached outcomes that work for both sides.
You can draft and shepherd agreement and addendum changes through to signature.
You know enough about products and payments to spec a fix and hold engineering and payment-partner counterparts to it.
Things you should know before applying
Working together: we value co-located teams; most teams currently meet in the office 2–3 days per week, and this varies by team and can change over time.
Non-obvious backgrounds are welcome. Diversity of skills, perspectives and backgrounds is how we create, innovate, and disrupt like no other.
Final compensation will be based on the candidate's qualifications, skills, and experience.
