• Own end-to-end payment flows including authorization, capture, settlement, funding, reconciliation, and exception handling
• Design and scale instruction-based funding capabilities (e.g., merchant-of-record funding, split settlements, programmable payouts, event-driven funding triggers)
• Lead architecture and productization of funds flow models, including FBO structures, balance management, prefunding, and liquidity optimization
• Drive expansion into new merchant segments and platform verticals by tailoring payment capabilities, pricing models, and risk constructs
• Develop flexible commercial constructs (wholesale, rev share, managed PayFac) aligned to segment needs and partner maturity
• Partner with risk, compliance, and finance teams to ensure scalable governance of funding flows, exposure limits, and loss controls
• Collaborate with engineering to build resilient, API-driven services for payment orchestration and funding instruction management
• Support large platform deals with clear articulation of payment flows, economics, and operating model differentiation
• Benchmark and evolve capabilities against leading PayFac/platform providers with focus on payment performance, funding flexibility, and monetization

Required Experience

• 8+ years in product management with deep experience in payments, PayFac, or platform ecosystems
• Proven experience owning payment flows (auth → settlement → funding) and designing scalable funds flow architectures
• Strong understanding of instruction-based funding models, including split payments, staged funding, and programmable disbursements
• Experience expanding payment products into new segments (SMB, enterprise, vertical SaaS, marketplaces) with differentiated value propositions
• Familiarity with PayFac operating models, sponsor bank relationships, and associated compliance frameworks
• Experience building API-first, modular payment services
• Experience designing multi-party payment flows (platforms, sub-merchants, third-party payouts)
• Background in pricing strategy and unit economics for payment platforms

Leadership Profile

• Strong executive presence with ability to communicate complex payment and funding constructs simply
• Structured, outcomes-driven leader with strong ownership of P&L and platform performance
