Group Product Manager Payments Core

You will own the multi year product vision and strategy for Payment Core including core payment processing, payment method integrations (ACH, cards, bank transfers), multi partner infrastructure, and payment lifecycle management. You will drive optimization of core payment funnels to improve success rates, reduce transaction costs, and increase the percentage of transaction ready payment methods across the global footprint. You will lead the strategy and execution for multi partner payments infrastructure, enabling routing, redundancy, and failover to maximize reliability and cost efficiency. You will partner with Engineering to shape system architecture, API design, and the technical roadmap for payment processing systems at scale, while collaborating cross functionally with Finance, Treasury, Compliance, Legal, and adjacent platform teams. You will build self serve capabilities that enable Product Groups to leverage Payment Core without heavy integration overhead, unblocking growth across the product surface. You will shape Payment Core's response to evolving regulatory requirements and emerging payment rails (real time payments, open banking, FedNow), ensuring compliant by default systems that keep pace with industry dynamics.
