Product Manager, Checkout

Role Description

As our first dedicated Checkout PM, you'll own Stash Pay checkout end to end:

• Checkout UX
• Conversion from "buy" tap through completed purchase
• Partner integration experience (SDK/checkout entry points, setup time, documentation quality)

Our bar is the best in class — think Stripe's Optimized Checkout Suite or Shopify's Shop Pay. Checkout conversion rate and integration time are the north star metrics of this role.

This role is explicitly scoped to the checkout experience, not the payments stack — approval-rate optimization, retry/recovery logic, fraud-vs-conversion tradeoffs, PSP routing, and tax/MoR handling stay with our payments team. You'll work closely with payments where checkout hands off to it, but you won't own those mechanics.

This is a high-agency, build-it-from-scratch role. There's no existing playbook — you'll create one.

We're open to candidates across multiple experience levels. The final title and scope of the role will be determined based on your experience, strengths, and the level of ownership you're ready to take on.

This is a remote role open to candidates based in the United States or Canada, or in Europe with overlapping US working hours.

In your first 90 days:

• Get familiar enough with the checkout UX and integration architecture to engage engineers on trade-offs
• Establish baseline checkout metrics and identify the top friction points
• Take over sprint planning for the checkout eng team
• Ship one meaningful, metrics-backed improvement to checkout conversion or integration time

Qualifications

• Checkout UX and conversion fluency — understanding where and why players (or users) drop off in a checkout flow
• Data and experimentation rigor — instrumenting funnels, running A/B tests, and letting data drive prioritization over opinion
• Design taste for high-stakes conversion surfaces — obsessing over checkout quality
• A generalization instinct — turning partner-specific integration asks into reusable product features
• An MVP, incremental-build mindset — scoping down, shipping iteratively, and pushing back on scope creep
• High agency and ownership; comfortable building structure where none exists
• Clear communication — specs, roadmaps, and updates that land with engineering, sales, and leadership

Requirements

• Background at a tech/SaaS with direct, hands-on ownership of a checkout or transactional-conversion UX surface
• Direct, hands-on experience collaborating with engineering teams
• Comfortable working West Coast hours given where our product and partner strategy is concentrated

Benefits

• Work on products used by some of the world's leading game studios
• Own a core product area with significant autonomy and impact
• Help shape the future of direct-to-consumer commerce in gaming
• Join a lean, ambitious, and highly collaborative team building products at scale
