Product Manager

Job Description:
Product Management Role Requirements

1. Role Focus & Domain Expertise

The team is hiring Product Managers for a commercial/ wholesale payments environment. These roles require deep functional knowledge in:

• Commercial / Wholesale Payments
• Payment rails: ACH wires cross-border FX banking rails push-to-card PayPal-like flows
• Merchant-facing experiences: portals for refunds reversals reports tax statements transaction performance analytics
• Internal operations tools: screens and workflows for operations internal support and tooling
• Scalable platform-level payments (e.g. experience from Amazon Walmart Expedia etc.)
• End-to-end payment lifecycle: from merchant interactions to backend reconciliation and payouts

Explicit exclusions:

• Not looking for EMV hardware or terminal-focused payments backgrounds
• Limited applicability for candidates strictly from checkout optimization / top-of-funnel
  consumer payments

2. Seniority & Experience Range
Preferred experience band is:

• 4 to 10 years of product management or hybrid
• BA/PM experience

Anything beyond that may result in:

• Over-seniority
• Risk of dissatisfaction or attrition unless down-leveled
  

3. Role Structure & Expectations
The role is described as an integrated PM/BA hybrid requiring candidates to be:

• Hands-on (not managerial)
• Writing PRDs epics and user stories directly
• Working directly with developers (not via separate
  BAs)
• Managing UAT cycles and supporting technical teams
• Able to own end-to-end delivery within two-week Agile sprints

This is not a feature shepherding PM role-it is a sleeves-rolled-up execution-heavy position.

1. Communication & Stakeholder Management

Excellent communication is mandatory.
This was repeatedly emphasized as a top-level filter.
Reasons:

• Cross-domain coordination
• Influencing without authority
• Collaboration with multiple internal and merchant-facing teams

Candidates with strong technical skills but weak communication are immediate rejects.

5. Culture & Working Style
The team culture is:

• Fast-paced and execution-oriented
• No mediocrity - only high performers can keep pace
• Requires proactive individuals (meaning the PMs are the business in discussions with developers)
• Dont wait for instructions
• Drive clarity
• Push deliverables independently

Work style:

• In-office 5 days per week (New York)
