Payments Product Manager

Plug Technologies Inc•Los Angeles, CA

1d•$180,000 - $200,000•Onsite

About The Position

We are looking for a Payments Product Manager to own the payment rails and financial throughput that power Plug. Our cash-flow conversion cycle is a core strategic asset. The payment infrastructure has to match that speed. Transactions run primarily over ACH and average roughly $25,000, so correctness and reconciliation at high dollar value matter more than payment volume. You will report to the SVP of Product and Technology, with the VP Finance as your primary internal stakeholder. This is a senior individual contributor role. You will work in close partnership with engineering, jointly owning Plug's payment rails. You will operate with high autonomy and a direct line to company outcomes. You will be stepping into a small, talented team with real momentum and a platform built exclusively for EVs. The financial infrastructure is yours to build right.

Requirements

5+ years in product management, with experience at fintech or neobank-style companies where you implemented financial or payments platforms.
Fluency with concepts such as FBO accounts and money transmitter licenses.
A highly quantitative way of thinking, paired with the ability to translate complex financial logic into a clean user experience.
Comfortable partnering deeply with engineering on backend systems without needing to own infrastructure decisions yourself.
Hands-on, shipped experience building with AI tools. As part of the process, we will ask you to show us something you have built.
Builder mentality: you act, you do not just plan, and you thrive in an environment where roles are fluid and the lines between product, engineering, and design are blurring.
Strong communication skills, able to write clearly and work across finance, operations, and engineering.
Authorized to work in the US for any employer.

Nice To Haves

Prior experience in automotive, EV, marketplace, or automotive finance is a plus.

Responsibilities

Define requirements for the payment rails upgrade (orchestration and treasury platforms).
Own the financial logic of every transaction, including positive and negative equity, title handling by state, consignment flows, and fee management, with clean accounting throughout.
Own the KYC/KYB onboarding experience, mitigating fraud risk.
Build reliable financial throughput that the finance team can trust and that scales with transaction volume.
Partner closely with engineering on backend systems, translating complex financial requirements into clear specifications and a clean user experience.
Partner with finance, operations and data teams to ensure every transaction is accounted for correctly and the cash-flow conversion cycle is fully supported.
