About the Role

As Senior Product Manager, Payments, you'll own how Mercor moves over $4 million a day to hundreds of thousands of experts globally. You will own the payments platform end-to-end with significant autonomy, balancing long-term strategy with rapid execution to shape expert trust, operational cost, and the company's bottom line.

Responsibilities

  • Own the payout experience: Take full ownership of how experts get paid — from contract terms and time capture through disbursement, retries, and support resolution.
  • Build the ledger and money movement platform: Partner with engineering on the ledger, reconciliation, and payout automation that keep every dollar correct, traceable, and auditable at scale.
  • Expand global coverage: Grow the payout rails, methods, and currencies available to experts, weighing cost, speed, reliability, and local regulation market by market.
  • Understand the business: Work backwards from payout cost, failure rates, support volume, and expert retention to decide what gets built.
  • Get in the weeds: Write specs and PRDs, build dashboards, dig through failed payouts, and make small PRs to unblock yourself.
  • Collaborate: Partner closely with engineering, finance, compliance, operations, and support to ship quickly without breaking trust.

Requirements

  • 6+ years in product management, with meaningful time on payouts or disbursements specifically — not only payments acceptance or checkout.
  • Prior SWE, ML, or DS experience preferred.
  • Working knowledge of payout rails, ledgers and double-entry accounting, reconciliation, FX, KYC, and tax and compliance requirements across markets.
  • Take full accountability for outcomes, not just outputs — including when money moves incorrectly.
  • Able to self-direct in ambiguous contexts, creating clarity for others.
  • Comfortable building scrappy MVPs, querying the data yourself, and reading enough code to unblock engineering.
  • Talks to experts, operators, and finance partners frequently, and knows how to conduct real user research.
  • Equally comfortable running rigorous experiments and pushing forward visionary bets.

Skills

  • Payouts and disbursement: Global money movement to experts across rails, methods, and currencies.
  • Ledger and reconciliation: The canonical record of what is owed, paid, and settled.
  • Contracts, rates, and earnings: How work converts into money owed, and how experts see it.
  • Payments operations: The tooling that lets a small team run payouts at enormous scale.
