Senior Product Manager - Payments Platform

The opportunity
Own the product vision and roadmap for the Payward payments platform, covering both the shared backend and the integration surfaces internal clients build on (hosted pages, SDKs, embedded components and direct APIs)

Map requirements across internal clients and use them to evolve the platform's vision and capabilities so it serves a growing range of use cases

Partner with engineering to turn the target vision into a sequenced, high-impact roadmap, with milestones every client team can plan against

Prioritize across competing client needs, make the trade-offs visible, and say no with a clear rationale

Shape the client experience end to end, from first conversation to go-live, so teams can adopt the platform without heavy hand-holding

Work with the banking and partnerships teams so each new PSP or bank integration is built once on the platform and reaches every Payward business

Bring compliance, risk and legal requirements across Payward's entities and jurisdictions into the roadmap early, before they become launch blockers

Set and track platform success metrics, such as time to launch a rail for an existing client, time for a new client to go live, share of rails available through the platform, and payment success rates

What you bring
5+ years of product management experience, ideally in a platform, API or infrastructure role where your customers were other internal teams or developers

Working knowledge of payments: pay-ins and payouts, PSPs and acquirers, bank rails (ACH, SEPA, Faster Payments, SWIFT and local methods), and how money flows between them

Strong technical fluency. You can read an RFC, challenge an architecture decision, and write an API spec that engineers respect

Experience shipping developer-facing products such as APIs, SDKs, or embeddable UI components

Clear, structured writing. You turn complex system designs into docs that product, compliance and business stakeholders can all act on

Skill at managing many stakeholders with different priorities, and building alignment without direct authority

Comfort working with data to set goals and measure platform adoption and performance

Nice to haves
Experience at a PSP, payment orchestrator or payments infrastructure company, or building one in-house

Background with multi-tenant SaaS or B2B2C platforms

Familiarity with crypto, stablecoins or on/off-ramps

Experience working across multiple regulated legal entities or licensing regimes
