About the Role We are seeking a visionary Senior Product Manager to lead the end‑to‑end strategy, delivery, and scale of an in‑house Centralized Payment Testing Platform. You will define the product vision, partner with Platform/Payments Engineering to build core capabilities from the ground up, sunset fragmented internal tools, and launch a secure, scalable, white‑labelled testing experience for internal stakeholders and enterprise clients.

You will collaborate with Product, Operations, SMEs, Engineering, SRE, Security, Data, Sales, and Client Success to deliver a seamless developer and client experience across payment authorization, clearing, settlement, and dispute flows.

Key Responsibilities

Product strategy and vision

• Define the long‑term vision, strategy, and roadmap for an internally built testing platform aligned to company objectives and payment domain needs.

• Own build scope, MVP definition, and iterative releases with clear success criteria.

Requirements and experience design

• Engage internal users and external client stakeholders to capture pain points and desired capabilities; translate insights into actionable PRDs, user stories, and discovery artifacts.

• Define personas and end‑to‑end journeys (developer, QA, payment ops, client engineer).

Platform architecture partnership

• Partner with Platform/Payments Engineering to shape platform architecture, APIs and SDKs, data models, and environment strategy (multi‑tenant, staging, sandbox, simulators).

• Prioritize foundational capabilities: protocol simulators (ISO 8583/ISO 20022), EMV, tokenization, digital wallets, 3‑DS, network issuer acquirer emulation, data replay, and automation.

Migration and deprecation

• Lead the transition from legacy in‑house tools to the new platform; define parity thresholds, dual‑run pilots, data integrity checks, and a staged deprecation plan.

• Deliver self‑serve migration tooling, training, and change communications.

White‑label enablement

• Define branding, theming, tenant isolation, usage metering, audit trails, and customization to support client‑facing, white‑label deployments.

Delivery leadership

• Run a disciplined backlog, quarterly planning, and a hybrid delivery model (Agile with milestone gates) across multiple squads, manage dependencies with Infra, Security, and Data.

• Establish operating cadences, decision logs, and RACI across product/engineering/design.

Observability, quality, and operations

• Specify telemetry, analytics, and BI for usage, performance, and test outcomes.

• Collaborate with Product Operation team on maintaining & support SLOs/SLIs, capacity plans, incident response expectations, and runbooks with SRE.

Compliance, privacy, and security by design

• Embed PCI DSS requirements, organizational controls, encryption, key management, data retention, and data residency.

Business case and TCO

• Build the business case for in‑house development vs. alternatives: track TCO, unit economics, and ROI: partner with Finance on budget, resourcing, and cost controls.

• Go‑to‑market and adoption

  • Partner with Marketing, Sales, and Client Success to define value propositions and packaging for client access: enable internal stakeholder onboarding and client activation.

• Performance measurement and continuous improvement

  • Define and track product KPIs (adoption, efficiency, reliability, migration progress, NPS/CSAT) and drive a continuous improvement roadmap.

This is a hybrid position. Expectation of days in office will be confirmed by your Hiring Manager.

Basic Skills

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or related field. MBA preferred.
• 7+ years of product management experience in payments, fintech, or enterprise SaaS/platforms, including platform or developer focused products.
• Deep understanding of payment processing and testing across auth, clearing, settlement, chargebacks, and related regulatory/industry standards (PCI DSS, ISO 8583, ISO 20022, EMV, tokenization, digital wallets, 3DS).
• Proven success building platform capabilities in‑house: defining architectures with engineering, establishing APIs/SDKs, and launching multi‑tenant services at scale.
• Demonstrated experience sunsetting legacy tools and migrating diverse user groups to new platforms with measurable outcomes.
• Strong analytical and decision‑making skills: adept at defining KPIs, instrumentation, and experimentation.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills across technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Expertise with Agile and hybrid delivery models: comfortable with complex, multi‑squad programs.
• Familiarity with security, privacy, and compliance controls for payments and SaaS.

Highly Desirable

• Experience building protocol simulators, payment network emulators, or high‑fidelity test harnesses.
• Background in SRE/DevOps‑adjacent product areas (observability, environments, CI/CD).
• Experience delivering white‑label or OEM‑style client experiences, including theming and tenant governance.
• Knowledge of data pipelines for test artifacts, lineage, and auditability
