Senior Product Manager, Payments

Location: San Francisco (Rincon Hill)

Company Overview

Mission: Make high-quality early childhood education accessible to all by empowering childcare providers with tools and support while helping parents find quality learning environments.

What We're Building: A category-defining platform at the intersection of marketplace, SaaS, and public sector systems, increasingly powered by AI. Series B backed by a16z, Goldman Sachs, and First Round.

The Role

Own our payments product alongside a small, dedicated team. Our platform processes at least $3 billion in payment volume. We move money across a lot of surfaces (banking, debit cards, Stripe, SAP, partner advances, and payroll), we run our own billing platform, and we lean on third-party partners for most of our fintech capabilities, so much of this is integration, orchestration, and tracking work. There is a lot to build here. You will consolidate a system built across many legacy integrations into something clean, reliable, and fast, and you will spend a lot of time directly with customers.

What You'll Do

• Own the payments product roadmap with a dedicated payments team: banking, cards, Stripe, SAP, partner advances, payroll, and our billing platform

• Consolidate and simplify a payments platform assembled from many legacy system integrations

• Work hands-on with the fintech partners who power most of our payment capabilities, and own the integration and reconciliation/tracking layer across them

• Spend significant time with customers to understand how money actually moves for them and where it breaks

• Partner daily with engineering to build, ship, measure, and iterate

• Navigate the laws and regulations governing payments and financial services

• Own your metrics end to end, from integration reliability to customer outcomes

Who You Are

• Senior PM with a strong payments background (fintech a plus)

• Exceptionally high attention to detail; strong finance background is a plus

• Excited to be close to the build and close to customers, not managing from a distance

• Likes working on a small team and moving fast; bias toward action

• Comfortable with the regulatory landscape around payments, banking, and cards

• Uses AI tools and figures things out independently
