We’re a team of 300+ employees across 41 states, headquartered in Silicon Valley with satellite offices in Dallas, TX and Holmdel, NJ.
Join us and be part of a team that’s shaping the future of payments—one experience at a time.
About the Role
PayNearMe is looking for a Vice President of Product Management to lead our Payments & Money Movement portfolio.
This portfolio sits at the center of the PayNearMe platform, spanning payment acceptance and orchestration, risk and compliance, money movement and disbursements, settlement and reconciliation, and the APIs that expose these capabilities to clients and partners.

The mandate is both operational and transformational. This leader will drive execution across the existing portfolio while helping evolve the underlying payments platform to support the next stage of PayNearMe 's growth.
As we scale, these capabilities must become increasingly reusable, configurable and extensible across our existing verticals, new markets and future products without requiring one-off solutions.
The portfolio also powers critical internal operations across Finance, Accounting, Risk, Compliance and Operations, making strong cross-functional partnership essential as transaction volume and complexity grow.
Success requires deep payments experience, strong product leadership and demonstrated experience scaling or modernizing complex transaction platforms.

Own the strategy, roadmap and execution of the Payments & Money Movement portfolio.
Lead, coach and develop experienced product leaders and their teams.
Drive near-term execution while balancing investments in platform modernization and future growth.
Partner closely with Engineering leadership to scale and evolve PayNearMe 's transactional platform.
Define the future of Smart Switch and payment orchestration across processors, rails and payment methods.
Generalize core platform capabilities so they can support existing and future verticals without requiring one-off solutions.
Partner deeply with Finance, Accounting, Operations, Risk and Compliance to ensure the platform supports the operational needs of the business as we scale.
Drive product decisions that improve reliability, payment performance, operational efficiency and economics.
Bring a commercial perspective to platform strategy, identifying opportunities to expand the value of PayNearMe 's payments and money movement capabilities.
Partner across Product, Engineering and Revenue teams to translate platform investments into measurable client and business outcomes.
Serve as a key member of the Product Leadership Team and help shape PayNearMe 's broader product strategy and operating model.
What Success Looks Like

Establish and execute a clear roadmap for scaling and modernizing the transactional platform.
Advance Smart Switch as a strategic payment orchestration capability.

Enable faster introduction of new payment methods, products, capabilities and verticals.

Demonstrated experience scaling, modernizing or transforming a complex, high-volume transaction platform.
Experience leading products and teams through significant growth, including increasing transaction volume, expanding platform capabilities, entering new markets or supporting new revenue streams.
Strong track record partnering with senior Engineering leaders on technically complex platform investments and transformation efforts.
Demonstrated ability to balance execution of a critical existing business with longer-term platform investment and modernization.
Strong commercial and business judgment, with experience connecting product strategy and investment decisions to revenue growth, economics and client value.
Experience developing strong product leaders and building teams that operate with increasing accountability and autonomy.
Strong executive communication and ability to operate effectively across Product, Engineering, Finance, Accounting, Operations, Risk, Compliance and Revenue leadership.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with multi-processor or multi-rail payment orchestration.
