Product Manager, Payments

Modern Treasury•San Francisco, CA

1d•$170,000 - $250,000

About The Position

Modern Treasury is hiring a Product Manager to help build and grow our Payments product. Payments enables companies to move money across the world. You will own core capabilities like how businesses get onboarded, verify identity, meet compliance requirements, access payment rails, and manage liquidity over fiat and stablecoin, all through Modern Treasury. You’ll bring products to life using advanced AI tools and leading engineering and customer-facing teams. As a Product Manager on Payments, you will work with engineering, compliance, partnerships, and customer-facing teams to ship the infrastructure that powers payments for some of the largest and fastest-growing companies in the economy. Modern Treasury is often the most critical piece of infrastructure our customers use, and the Payments product sits at the center of how money actually moves. We are looking for someone who has built payments products before and is excited to go deep on the full lifecycle of money movement — from a customer's first onboarding moment through real-time payments at scale, across both US and international rails.

Requirements

Built payments products before.
Familiar with both US and international payments.
Understand how rails work end to end and what it takes to move money reliably at scale.
Experience with both US and international cross-border payment rails, and understand the operational and regulatory realities of moving money across borders.
Experience with, or a strong interest in, stablecoins. Studied how they work, and have opinions about how they fit into the future of global money movement.
Relish going deep with engineers on the details of payment systems.
Technical-literate — can read API docs and bank or scheme specs.
Comfortable diving into data, including SQL, while knowing when not to.
Want to spend a ton of time with customers and prospects, understanding their business models, flows of funds, and the support they need.
Can translate customer needs into clear engineering requirements.
Track record of shipping and iterating on products.
Comfortable with a dynamic, responsive roadmap driven by the demands of customers and partners.
Fluent in applying modern AI tools to real business problems.
