Job Description

We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead the strategy and execution of our next-generation money movement platform. You’ll own the systems that power how money flows through our ecosystem — with a focus on settlement, reconciliation, funding orchestration, and general ledger integrations.

In this role, you’ll be at the center of our financial infrastructure, working across product, engineering, compliance, and accounting teams to build scalable, reliable payment systems. You’ll drive execution across multiple payment rails and funding sources, ensuring operational accuracy, compliance, and performance at scale.

We’re seeking someone with deep experience in the payments ecosystem, particularly in bill pay, money movement, financial reconciliation, and funding mechanics. You should have a strong understanding of how different funding types operate — including bank debits (ACH, RTP, wires), card-based funding, digital wallets, and alternative funding methods. You’ll bring expertise in managing liquidity, funding source verification, cutoff windows, transaction routing, and exception handling. Familiarity with concepts like prefunding, sweep accounts, and funds availability will be key to ensuring efficient and resilient money flows.

You should be equally comfortable diving into backend systems, managing cross-functional roadmaps, and defining strategic product direction. This is a high-impact role where you’ll help shape the future of how we move, fund, and track money — and unlock new capabilities for the business as we scale.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end strategy for the money movement general ledgering systems — ensuring funds flow accurately and are accounted for across internal platforms, with support for a variety of funding and disbursement methods.
  • Define and prioritize product requirements across key areas like settlement timing, transaction visibility, reconciliation tooling, error handling and disbursement processing.
  • Demonstrate a strong understanding of the ACH ecosystem, including file formatting (NACHA), processing windows, risk and return codes, timing cutoffs and workflows.
  • Lead product capabilities that support diverse funding methods, including ACH debits and credits, card-based transactions, digital wallets, and real-time disbursement networks.
  • Communicate the product development roadmap across agile teams and stakeholders, while defining and documenting user stories that clearly guide technical requirements and implementation across both existing systems and new platform initiatives.
  • Own the organization of the backlog, working proactively and collaboratively with Engineering management to ensure proper prioritization and capacity planning.
  • Lead backlog grooming, refinement, and sprint planning sessions to ensure teams are set up for successful delivery.
  • Act as a subject matter expert in funding mechanics and payment infrastructure, bridging business needs with technical implementation by collaborating with internal product teams, engineering, operations, accounting, and compliance partners.
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams to develop
