🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of product management experience, including ownership of complex technical systems or platform infrastructure. • Deep experience working on payments systems or financial infrastructure, with strong familiarity with the full lifecycle of a transaction from initiation and authorization through settlement, reconciliation, refunds, chargebacks, and disbursements. • Experience building or operating high-volume payments systems within a fintech, marketplace, or platform environment. • Strong familiarity with the payments ecosystem, including card networks, processors, and payment rails such as ACH and RTP, as well as regulatory frameworks including PCI DSS, NACHA rules, and card network mandates. • Technical fluency and comfort working with APIs, payment specifications, and platform architectures in close partnership with engineering teams. • Experience delivering capabilities within core payment workflows such as authorization systems, refund architecture, retry logic, failure handling, payment routing, or multi-processor orchestration. • Strong understanding of financial data systems, including reconciliation, settlement accuracy, and supporting finance and accounting workflows in high-transaction-volume environments. • Data-driven product instincts and comfort analyzing operational and financial metrics such as authorization rates, decline patterns, payment success rates, processing costs, and financial accuracy. • Strong systems thinking and the ability to design modular platform capabilities across complex, interconnected systems. • Comfort operating in production environments, including experience diagnosing system failures, participating in incident response, and improving platform reliability and operational resilience. • Proven ability to lead complex cross-functional initiatives involving engineering, finance, operations, and external partners. • Extreme ownership mindset with the ability to proactively identify problems, navigate ambiguity, and drive complex initiatives from strategy through execution. • Passion for leveraging technology to protect our democracy, and excitement about building financial infrastructure that enables grassroots fundraising for progressive campaigns and causes.
