Product Manager

• Own the Payments product roadmap: Define, prioritize, and execute against product strategy across payment rails (ACH, PAD, card, etc.) and global markets.
• Business outcomes: Translate commercial objectives into product strategy and execution plans, ensuring alignment without conflating ownership.
• Develop a deep understanding of customer and market payment pain points: Regularly speak with customers, partners, and internal teams to understand how service businesses experience payments today and where friction, trust, and opportunity lie.
• Deeply understand payments infrastructure and user experience: Manage capabilities such as onboarding, payouts, reconciliation, fraud/risk controls, and reporting to optimize reliability, speed, and trust.
• Collaborate with Engineering and Design: Lead discovery, requirements definition, and delivery to ensure a tight feedback loop and strong execution quality.
• Partner cross-functionally: Work closely with Product Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, Support, and Fraud/Risk Ops to ensure the product is well-adopted, well-supported, and well-understood.
• Drive adoption and utilization: Use quantitative and qualitative insights to identify barriers to activation, deepen engagement, and increase payment volume across the base.
• Build a culture of experimentation and learning: Use first-principles thinking and test-and-learn approaches to validate assumptions, iterate on solutions, and deliver measurable impact.
• Be data-driven and outcomes-focused: Define success through customer and business metrics, not feature output. Establish clear KPIs and leverage data to guide prioritization, decision-making, and retrospectives.
• Optimize systems and scale: Continuously improve reliability, compliance, and performance of global payments infrastructure in partnership with external providers (e.g., Stripe).
