About the Role

Constellation Payment Processing (CPP) is seeking a hands-on AI Product Owner to bridge the gap between partners and engineering teams. This role is crucial for migrating our merchant portfolio to CSIPay, our AI-first payment gateway. You will translate partner needs into production-ready features, own the backlog, and collaborate with Engineering to deliver required functionalities. This partner-facing role involves early engagement in the lifecycle, shaping requirements with commercial and technical stakeholders, and carrying them through delivery and validation. Expect to spend over 30% of your time in direct partner meetings, with potential travel across the US and Canada.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as the primary day-to-day product point of contact for assigned partners, engaging in direct commercial and technical conversations.
  • Uncover partner problems, workflows, and integration constraints early in the lifecycle to capture requirements at the source.
  • Travel to partner sites for discovery sessions, working sessions, pilots, and cutover support.
  • Act as the voice of the partner within CPP, ensuring their priorities are represented in backlog and delivery decisions.
  • Own, groom, and prioritize the product backlog for partner-facing scope, balancing partner urgency, migration commitments, and technical dependencies.
  • Write clear, testable user stories, acceptance criteria, and specifications, making timely decisions on delivered work.
  • Lead backlog refinement, sprint planning, and daily collaboration with Engineering to keep the team focused and unblocked.
  • Collaborate with Engineering to deliver partner-requested items into production, sequencing work to meet commitments without compromising quality.
  • Apply CPP's AI-Driven Development Lifecycle (AI-DLC) to accelerate discovery, requirements capture, story and spec generation, test case creation, and documentation.
  • Champion an AI-first mindset within the delivery team, identifying opportunities for AI to improve product quality and reduce time-to-market.
  • Prototype and validate concepts rapidly using AI tooling to de-risk decisions before committing engineering effort.
  • Translate partner needs into precise, engineering-ready requirements, including API behavior, field-level mapping, data migration rules, and edge cases.
  • Maintain clear traceability from partner request through specification, delivery, and acceptance.
  • Partner with Engineering and R&D to pressure-test feasibility and define pragmatic, scalable solutions on CSIPay.
  • Coordinate pilots, UAT, rollout, and cutover activities directly with partners, including migration waves.
  • Own launch readiness for scope, including test validation, rollback expectations, and go/no-go criteria, driving post-launch iteration based on partner feedback.
  • Provide clear and honest status updates to partners and internal stakeholders, including transparent reporting of risks and misses.
  • Align stakeholders across Product, Engineering, Commercial, Risk, and Partner Success, communicating trade-offs, decisions, and delivery timelines.
  • Keep partners informed with structured updates and leadership informed with concise reporting on delivery progress.

Requirements

  • 3+ years as a Product Owner, Technical Product Manager, or equivalent, owning a backlog and delivering software with an Agile engineering team.
  • Proven payments experience operating on, building, or maintaining payment systems across Card and ACH rails, ideally for US payments.
  • Proven partner-facing or customer-facing experience, comfortable leading both commercial and technical conversations and building trust with external stakeholders.
  • Strong requirements craft, translating ambiguous needs into clear user stories, acceptance criteria, and engineering-ready specifications using AI.
  • Demonstrated ability to work closely with Engineering day to day, prioritizing and sequencing work to ship exactly what customers need.
  • Hands-on use of AI tools across discovery, requirements, prototyping, testing, and documentation, with a track record of using AI to improve quality and speed.
  • Exceptional communication skills, able to move fluidly between a partner boardroom and an engineering standup.
  • Willingness and ability to travel for partner meetings.
  • Experience at a PayFac, payment gateway, or ISV-first platform (Nice-to-Have).
  • Payments domain knowledge: PayFac model, merchant onboarding, KYC/KYB, tokenization, routing, settlement and payouts, chargebacks, and interchange (Nice-to-Have).
  • Technical proficiency with APIs/SDKs, webhooks, event schemas, and integration patterns, and comfort reading API documentation (Nice-to-Have).
  • Experience supporting platform migrations or large-scale data migrations (Nice-to-Have).
  • Familiarity with Agile delivery tooling (Jira, Azure DevOps or equivalent) and product analytics (Nice-to-Have).
  • Degree in a quantitative or technical field (CS, Engineering, Math, Stats, Economics) (Nice-to-Have).
