Mercury
Senior Product Manager - Payments
Mercury, San Francisco, California, United States, 94199
Second to holding money in a secure place, the quintessential tenet of a banking* experience is to enable users to move money. The Payments team at Mercury is obsessively focused on building scalable, reliable, and lightning-fast payment systems that form the bedrock of our customers' financial operations. As a product manager on this team, you'll work to make payments seamless for users, enabling them to focus on running their business.
This is a technical product role that requires empathy and foresight into our users' present and future needs as they pertain to sending and receiving money. You will collaborate across internal and external teams to jointly shape plans that lead to great payment experiences, working tirelessly to mask the "under the hood" complexities for our users. You will utilize your data acuity and customer insights to better prioritize and justify the payments roadmap.
Secure, reliable, thoughtful, and (perhaps) magical, is how a user should describe a payment made on Mercury. Your primary focus will be making the 'send money' experience so intuitive and effortless that users barely realize they're engaging in a complex financial transaction.
