• Own the end-to-end payments delivery roadmap across financial reporting, payout operations, refunds and disputes, tax, and Stripe Connect execution • Translate strategy from the Sr. Manager, Payments Strategy & Product into sequenced, shippable delivery plans with clear acceptance criteria • Partner with Engineering on technical scoping, sequencing, and integration with banking partners (Wells Fargo, NetSuite) and payment processors • Work directly with Finance and Accounting stakeholders — speak their language, earn their trust, and translate their operational needs into product requirements • Use AI tools to accelerate spec writing, query and validate data, and prototype workflows before committing engineering capacity • Validate decisions with data and direct customer input — bookkeeper interviews, support ticket analysis, and behavioral analytics from HQ • Manage a large, complex backlog across multiple workstreams with competing priorities, executive scrutiny, and compliance constraints • Collaborate across Customer Success, Support, and school-facing teams to ensure delivery aligns with the realities of how bookkeepers and athletic directors actually work

• 5-8+ years in product management or a related discipline (accounting, compliance, finance operations) with working knowledge of software product development • Experience in payments, fintech, financial services, or a domain with similar complexity — settlements, payouts, reconciliation, or compliance • Comfort working with Finance and Accounting stakeholders — you can speak their language, read a GL, and earn their trust on accuracy and audit • Proven ability to manage a large, complex backlog across multiple workstreams with competing priorities and executive visibility • Comfort with ambiguity — this role requires judgment, not just execution; the right answer is often not in the ticket • A demonstrated AI-forward approach — actively uses AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or similar) to accelerate spec writing, data analysis, prototyping, and customer feedback synthesis • Strong communication skills — you can articulate the why behind the work to engineers, finance leaders, and executive stakeholders alike • Strongly preferred: experience with payout or settlement products, familiarity with payment processor ecosystems (doesn't need to be Stripe specifically), and experience supporting internal tools users (Finance, Ops, Accounting) alongside external customers • Strongly preferred: ability to read and interpret data — SQL familiarity or comfort working directly with data teams to answer your own questions
