About the role

At Perk, we believe in empowering cross-functional teams that drive exceptional results for our customers and the company. We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to join the Payments Group within the Spend & Control alliance.

Payments is a strategic product area that directly impacts revenue, cost-to-serve, customer trust, and scalability. The group’s scope spans the money movement platform powering the Perk ecosystem to the customer checkout and subscription management experiences. This product area is a key enabler for other squads and product lines at Perk.

• Advocate for the end user: Maintain a high bar for a seamless and intuitive payments experience for customers.
• Own integrations and external dependencies: Work with PSPs/acquirers/banks/providers when relevant; manage constraints and tradeoffs.
• Improve payment performance: Drive measurable improvements in success rate, latency, failure handling, and operational load.
• Scale financial operations through product: Reduce manual work required to process payments, refunds and reconciliation within Perk.
• Be the domain expert: Provide answers, create training materials, and ensure product documentation is up-to-date for your ownership area.
• Empower your team: Lead with a servant-leadership approach: help the team stay focused, remove distractions, and foster creativity and collaboration.
• Level up the product function: Continuously learn and share insights with colleagues to help build a world-class product team.

What You’ll Need

• Experience: 7+ years in tech with 5+ years in Product Management (or equivalent scope).
• Payments domain strength: Proven experience in at least one core payment area (e.g., payments processing & orchestration, payment methods, subscription management) and familiarity with financial concepts (e.g., reconciliation, invoicing).
• B2B mindset: Comfortable solving complex problems involving finance stakeholders and enterprise expectations.
• User-centric problem solving: High degree of customer empathy that informs approach to problem-solving and solutions.
• Strong execution and systems thinking: Able to break down complex systems into incremental deliveries that compound over time with high agency.
• Technical fluency: Can partner effectively with engineers on APIs, reliability, edge cases, and external provider constraints.
• Metrics-driven: Able to define clear success metrics, including leading indicators and guardrails.
• Cross-functional leadership: Aligns teams and makes tradeoffs stick, even under pressure.
