Principal Product Manager – Payments
Responsibilities and Duties
- Own the product roadmap and outcomes for your domain within Medius Payments, with particular focus on B2B card programs (virtual cards, commercial cards, buyer‑initiated payments) and underlying payment rails.
- Define and defend prioritization decisions with clear commercial and customer rationale, balancing near‑term execution with longer‑term strategic bets.
- Monitor the B2B payments landscape — including emerging payment schemes, open banking developments and regulatory shifts across US, UK and EU — and translate these into actionable roadmap inputs.
- Write and refine detailed PRDs, user stories and acceptance criteria; own specs from discovery through release.
- Partner closely with engineering and design to shape solutions, review flows and ensure delivery quality – including rolling up your sleeves on 3rd‑line support and bug triage.
- Drive integration design with external payment partners, card scheme networks and banking providers, ensuring technical and commercial alignment.
- Translate product vision and complex regulatory requirements into clear, scalable product requirements without losing commercial pragmatism.
- Serve as the senior payments product expert in commercial, sales and customer conversations – articulating capability, limitations and roadmap direction without over‑committing.
- Build and maintain strong working relationships with payment partners.
- Collaborate with Medius Suite PMs to ensure Payments changes are coordinated across the broader AP and spend‑management platform.
- Support go‑to‑market teams with product expertise, enablement materials and launch documentation.
- Work with the legal and regulatory team to monitor global payment regulation changes and proactively adjust execution plans to maintain compliance readiness across all active geographies.
- Apply sound risk and control thinking to product design, particularly for card issuance, payment initiation and supplier‑facing flows.
- Drive agent leverage within the pod; use AI tooling to accelerate discovery.
- Own pod velocity as a first‑class accountability: spec → build → ship.
Qualifications
- 7+ years of product management experience, with a significant portion focused on B2B payments products in SaaS, fintech or financial services.
- Deep hands‑on expertise in B2B card products — virtual cards, commercial card programmes, buyer‑initiated payments or equivalent — and how they integrate within AP or procurement workflows.
- Strong understanding of payment rails in the US, UK and EU (ACH, Checks, Cards, BACS/CHAPS, SEPA and card scheme networks) and how they underpin B2B payment product design.
- Proven track record of owning and delivering complex, multi‑geography payment products end‑to‑end.
- Experience working directly with external payment partners, card scheme networks or banking providers at a product level.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills – able to write a crisp PRD and explain payment complexity in plain language to a CFO or an engineer alike.
- Comfortable operating in a fast‑paced, global environment with multiple parallel workstreams.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with AP automation, ERP integrations or spend‑management platforms.
- Familiarity with US, UK and/or EU payment regulation.
- Experience at a B2B SaaS scale‑up or payments infrastructure company.
AI Fluency & Ways of Working
