- Experience: 10+ years of product management experience, including significant time building payments products - card issuing, virtual cards, money movement, or B2B payment flows - at a fintech or payments company or in an embedded payments role at a platform company. Bonus if this experience has been global.
- People Leadership: 5+ years managing product managers, with a track record of developing PMs, running a healthy team, and raising the quality bar.
- Payments Domain Depth: Fluency in the mechanics of card issuing and money movement, and the vendor ecosystem behind them. Experience with cross-border payments is a plus.
- Strategic Track Record: Demonstrated success setting and executing a multi-year payments strategy, including business case building, and taking products from zero to launch and scaling through ambiguity.
- Deal-Making: Experience facilitating third-party vendor and network partnerships end to end - sourcing, negotiating, and managing them - and partnering with commercial and legal teams on terms and economics.
- Financial Fluency: Comfort building and defending financial models; able to work as a peer with Finance on unit economics, pricing, and working capital, and to challenge the status quo when the numbers say so.
- Technical Fluency: Able to go deep with engineers on API design, integration architecture, and build-vs-buy trade-offs; engineering leaders trust your judgment and instincts.
- AI Fluency: You use AI tools daily in your own work and have a point of view on where they change how product teams operate. You can separate the real opportunities in payments (risk, reconciliation, support, emerging agentic payment flows) from the hype, and you hold your team to a high bar for using it well.
- Leadership Presence: Equally comfortable presenting strategy to the executive team, digging into transaction-level data with your PMs, and sitting with a customer to understand why a payment flow fails them.
