The team is hiring Product Managers for a commercial/wholesale payments environment. These roles require deep functional knowledge in:

- Internal operations tools: screens and workflows for operations, internal support, and tooling
- Scalable platformlevel payments (e.g., experience from Amazon, Walmart, Expedia, etc.)
- Endtoend payment lifecycle: from merchant interactions to backend reconciliation and payouts

- Limited applicability for candidates strictly from checkout optimization / topoffunnel consumer payments

Preferred experience band is:
- 4 to 10 years of product management or hybrid BA/PM experience
Anything beyond that may result in:
- Overseniority
- Risk of dissatisfaction or attrition unless downleveled
3. Role Structure & Expectations
The role is described as an integrated PM/BA hybrid, requiring candidates to be:
- Handson (not managerial)
- Writing PRDs, epics, and user stories directly
- Working directly with developers (not via separate BAs)
- Managing UAT cycles and supporting technical teams
- Able to own endtoend delivery within twoweek Agile sprints
This is not a feature shepherding" PM role it is a sleevesrolledup, executionheavy position.
4. Communication & Stakeholder Management
Excellent communication is mandatory.
This was repeatedly emphasized as a toplevel filter.
Reasons:
- Crossdomain coordination
- Influencing without authority
- Collaboration with multiple internal and merchantfacing teams
Candidates with strong technical skills but weak communication are immediate rejects.
