Senior Payments Product Manager

What You’re Applying For

We’re looking for a Senior Payments Product Manager who lives and breathes payments, checkout, routing, and UX. If you’ve shipped high-scale payment flows, improved authorization rates, reduced the cost to collect, and obsess over customer-friendly experiences, this role is for you.

You will play a key role in shaping our global payments strategy and ensuring a seamless, efficient, and secure payment ecosystem.

In this role you'll

• Own the end-to-end checkout experience: from funnel design, UI/UX, and copy, to error states, SCA/3DS, tokenization, retries, and dunning.
• Strive to improve authorization rates: optimize routing, 3DS strategy, retries, BIN/issuer tactics, network tokens, and risk signals to lift approval rates.
• Reduce the cost to pay: minimize processing fees via smart routing, method mix, interchange optimization, and settlement configuration.
• Drive squad execution: work closely with designers, engineers, and data analysts to ensure fast-paced execution and delivery of payment initiatives.
• Introduce new payment methods & markets: evaluate, prioritize, and launch new payment methods by country and product line.
• Drive payments strategy & roadmap: align PSP(s), gateways, risk tools, and internal services with overarching business goals.
• Own quality & reliability: manage SLAs, monitoring, alerting, reconciliation integrity, refunds/chargebacks flows, and ledger accuracy.
• Manage data & experimentation: define KPIs, build dashboards, run A/B tests, and partner with Data teams to diagnose drop-offs and optimize performance.
• Execute through cross-functional leadership: collaborate effectively with Design, Engineering, Finance, Legal/Compliance, Risk/Fraud, Support, and Growth teams.
