Senior Product Manager - Payments Platform

Payward's Payments & Blockchain team owns the first and last mile of every dollar that moves in or out of its products. The team is looking for a product manager to shape the future of Payward's in-house PSP: a scalable, multi-tenant payments backend with hosted pages, SDKs, embedded components and direct APIs, so any Payward business can plug in and reach pay-in and payout rails worldwide.

Responsibilities

Own the product vision and roadmap for the Payward payments platform, covering the shared backend and integration surfaces (hosted pages, SDKs, embedded components and direct APIs); Map requirements across internal clients and use them to evolve the platform's vision and capabilities; Partner with engineering to turn the target vision into a sequenced, high-impact roadmap; Prioritize across competing client needs, make trade-offs visible, and say no with a clear rationale; Shape the client experience end to end, from first conversation to go-live; Work with 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; Set and track platform success metrics such as time to launch a rail, time for a new client to go live, share of rails available through the platform, and payment success rates

Requirements

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, including reading RFCs, challenging architecture decisions, and writing API specs; Experience shipping developer-facing products such as APIs, SDKs, or embeddable UI components; Clear, structured writing for product, compliance and business stakeholders; 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 have

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
