Role Summary
As Product Lead for Merchant Experience, you will own the daily digital experience for businesses across our core merchant facing products and journeys.
You will shape the strategy, roadmap, and performance of the surfaces merchants use most—from including managing money, tracking activity, and staying in control. You will also lead new customer-facing bets from problem to launch, while raising the quality of what is already live.
We are looking for a senior PM/lead who has built high-frequency mobile products, ideally across business banking, mobile wallets, fintech, or merchant platforms.
You should understand what makes a financial product feel simple, trustworthy, and useful enough to become part of a business owner’s daily routine.
