Product Manager, Payments & Fintech

Highly competitive salary with flexibility based on experience, plus additional incentive compensation tied to company growth. Fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment with strong ownership and impact. Direct access to leadership and decision-makers. No product management layer above you. Opportunity to help build and scale a next-generation payments platform. Clear expectations tied to outcomes and KPIs. Collaborative onsite culture with visibility and influence from day one. The Opportunity This role owns the payment orchestration platform end-to-end. This is not a backlog management role. You will define what gets built, why it matters, and how it creates value for merchants. You will work directly with engineering, sales, customer success, project management, and leadership. You will shape product strategy, set priorities, and drive execution. You will take over product responsibilities currently handled by leadership and help build a scalable product function. You will use AI tools to move faster, improve decisions, and enhance product development. In the first year, you will own key initiatives, deliver platform improvements, improve merchant experience, and establish product metrics and roadmaps. You will focus on product functionality, workflows, and design, not go-to-market.
