About The Position

Versapay is seeking a Senior Product Manager specializing in Platform & Data Strategy. This role requires a product leader with expertise in systems thinking, platform engineering, and data architecture, capable of driving alignment across various teams. The position is crucial for shaping how data becomes a strategic asset and for evolving the product's architecture from a decomposing monolith to a modern microservices approach. The hire will act as a liaison between product, architecture, engineering, and analytics teams.

Requirements

• 5-8+ years of product management experience, with significant time in platform, infrastructure, or API-focused product roles.
• Deep technical fluency to engage credibly with architecture and engineering on microservices patterns, API design, and distributed systems tradeoffs.
• Demonstrated experience with data strategy in a product context (data pipelines, data warehousing, or data product development).
• Track record of influencing without authority across engineering, data, and business teams.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and building structure where little exists.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with Snowflake or comparable cloud data platforms in a product or strategy capacity.
• Familiarity with data monetization, data sharing, or partner data product models, particularly with FIs or ERP ecosystem partners.
• Experience with API governance, API versioning strategies, or developer platform products.
• Background in fintech, B2B SaaS, or collaborative commerce platforms.
• Exposure to regulatory and compliance considerations around data sharing (SOC 2, data residency, financial data regulations).

Responsibilities

• Define the vision and roadmap for platform-level microservices, including identifying capabilities for platform services versus evolving existing module-specific implementations.
• Own the API contract strategy, establishing standards for versioning, backward compatibility, and breaking change governance.
• Establish principles and a governance model for backporting module-level services into shared platform services.
• Lead net-new platform service builds in partnership with architecture and engineering, from discovery through adoption.
• Champion developer experience by ensuring internal engineering teams have necessary documentation, contracts, and tooling.
• Partner with Analytics and Architecture to define and evolve the Snowflake lakehouse strategy, incorporating product and commercial context.
• Own the data product identification process, determining which enriched datasets are monetizable and valuable to partners.
• Define data governance requirements for regulated partner use cases, including data lineage, access controls, residency, and consent.
• Work with commercial and partnerships teams to translate data product identification into viable partner offerings.
• Serve as the product voice in platform performance and reliability workstreams, ensuring prioritization reflects business impact.
• Build line of sight into end-of-month latency, load, and scalability gaps, pushing for honest diagnosis and remediation.
• Define product requirements for international expansion readiness, including multi-geography, multi-currency, and increased volume support.
• Build credibility and trust with engineering and architecture leaders.
• Drive cultural change around platform-first thinking without direct authority.
• Maintain executive alignment and surface honest performance signals.
