About The Position

At SoFi, we're on a mission to help our members get their money right and become a Top 10 Financial Institution. We're seeking a Senior Product Manager to own the payments product experience and API/developer platform for Big Business Banking (BBB) - SoFi's zero-to-one commercial banking platform for institutional clients, backed by our national bank charter.

As a key cross-functional player, you will collaborate closely with Engineering, Design, Business, Operations, Compliance, Risk, Treasury, and others to set a vision, define priorities, manage trade-offs, execute an ambitious agenda, and be accountable to results reported at the executive level.

5+ years of product management experience, with meaningful time in payments, commercial/B2B fintech, or financial infrastructure.
Deep understanding of how money moves - wires, ACH, real-time rails, stablecoins - and what's different about commercial payments: higher stakes, multi-party authorization, beneficiary management, batch operations.
Experience shipping APIs that external developers integrate against.
You think in contracts, error codes, idempotency keys, and developer experience.
Ability to cut through swirl and define the requirements.
You can take ambiguous client needs and translate them into clear, testable requirements that an engineering team can execute without constant clarification.
Proven cross-functional partnership skills and ability to work in matrixed environment
Experience working in regulated environments - you know how to partner with compliance, legal, and risk teams while keeping the product experience usable.
Technical credibility - you can read an API spec, review a sequence diagram, and discuss system design with engineers.

Responsibilities

Define payment product strategy for Big Business Banking - sequence the roadmap across various payments capabilities.

Own the API product and developer experience - define payment and webhook API contracts, error handling, idempotency, and versioning.
Build a sandbox and documentation experience that gets a client from signed contract to first successful API payment with minimal friction.

Define acceptance criteria and own UAT.
Ensure BBB's needs are prioritized alongside other internal consumers (Money, Credit Card, Crypto).
Define payment operations and exception handling - design what happens when payments fail, get returned, or need manual intervention.
Define ops workflows and tooling requirements so operations teams can resolve issues quickly.
Partner with Risk and Compliance on payment-level controls - transaction limits, sanctions screening flows, fraud rules, and regulatory requirements (Reg E, BSA).
Treat compliance as a product feature.
Own go-to-market for new payment capabilities - define readiness criteria for each new rail launch, coordinate across eng/ops/compliance/business, and drive adoption with clients.
