About the Role
As the Product Manager in Payments, you will own the strategy and execution for SpotOn’s end-to-end payments experience, defining how payments are presented, authorized, captured, settled, and funded. You will ensure reliability, security, and compliance while driving a best-in-class experience for merchants. You will partner with money movement and remittance functions to ensure accurate, predictable, and transparent merchant funding.
Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end product roadmap for payments across card-present and card-not-present environments.
- Define how each payment media type is presented and accepted and set metrics to measure acceptance health.
- Translate complex payment flows into simple, intuitive experiences for merchants and their staff.
- Monitor and improve key payment performance metrics through rigorous data-driven experimentation.
- Partner with risk, compliance, and security to ensure adherence to network rules and PCI DSS.
- Partner with GTM to package and position payment capabilities that differentiate SpotOn for hospitality.
- Lead discovery with external processors, acquirers, gateways, and partners to evaluate new capabilities, routing options, and cost-optimization opportunities.
- Partner with money movement and remittance teams to ensure merchant processing funds settle on time with accurate fees, adjustments, and chargeback handling.
- Feed payment product decisions back into funding and remittance workflows so merchant payouts stay predictable and explainable.
- Act as the primary product point of contact for payments across SpotOn, aligning stakeholders around a clear vision, roadmap, and success metrics.
- Facilitate cross-functional decision-making, balancing technical constraints, regulatory considerations, and merchant needs.
- Communicate clearly and consistently with executives and senior leaders on trade-offs, risks, dependencies, and progress.
- Mentor and influence peers and adjacent product teams on payment best practices, shared capabilities, and platform standards.
- Contribute to a culture of accountability, urgency, and ownership, ensuring high-quality releases on time and learning quickly from launches.
Requirements
- 5+ years of product management experience, with at least 3 years focused on payments, fintech, or closely related financial services products.
- Demonstrated product leadership—able to set a clear vision, influence senior stakeholders, make confident trade-offs under ambiguity, and rally teams around shared outcomes.
- Deep understanding of card-present and card-not-present payments, including authorization, capture, clearing, settlement, tokenization, risk, and chargeback flows.
- Working familiarity with merchant processing economics—interchange, scheme fees, and how those show up in settlement and remittance to merchants.
- Experience working with payment processors, acquirers, gateways, or card networks, ideally in a platform or multi-tenant merchant environment.
- Strong analytical skills, including comfort working with large payment datasets, building dashboards, defining KPIs, and using data to drive prioritization and experimentation.
- Proven success shipping complex, technical products that require deep collaboration with engineering and operations teams.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex payment concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Customer-centric mindset with experience conducting discovery, user interviews, and feedback sessions with merchants or similar B2B customers.
- High degree of ownership, bias toward action, and ability to manage multiple initiatives in parallel in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
- Work authorization in the U.S. is required.
- Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
