Job Title: -Product Manager

Location: -NYC, NY (Onsite)

Duration: -Contract

Job Description: -

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.

4. 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.
