Product Manager (Payments)

About the role

Lendbuzz builds financial technology designed to make credit access more personalized and fair for borrowers who are often underserved or overlooked. The company values diversity, independent judgment, and thoughtful decision-making across its teams, partners, and customers. This opening is for a Product Manager focused on payments and workflow improvements within the core product.

The role is expected to shape new and enhanced payment experiences that affect borrowers, dealerships, underwriting, and customer service. It offers strong ownership, cross-functional visibility, and room for professional growth. Candidates in the Eastern Time Zone are preferred so they can collaborate earlier in the day with distributed teams, though the schedule can be adjusted to start and finish earlier.

Key responsibilities

• Work closely with engineers and cross-functional partners to plan, prototype, and launch product improvements that support business goals and product metrics.
• Take ownership of the full payment journey, including authorization, capture, settlement, refunds, and reconciliation.
• Break down complex product challenges, study patterns across different customer groups, and turn insights into solutions that can scale.
• Use both quantitative and qualitative analysis to shape the roadmap, evaluate tradeoffs, and build alignment with leadership and partner teams.
• Communicate product direction, priorities, delivery progress, and post-launch results clearly to a wide business audience while acting as a leader within product.
• Drive integrations with payment processors, gateways, banks, and other financial partners, including ACH, card networks, and real-time payment rails.
• Set and improve payment performance metrics such as authorization rates, payment completion rates, cost per transaction, fraud losses, dispute rates, and settlement speed.

Requirements

• At least 5 years of experience in product management and/or in roles working closely with technical teams; strong design and prototyping ability is a plus.
• Proven skill in managing projects and stakeholders across initiatives of different sizes, with strong precision and attention to detail.
• Working knowledge of banking integrations and payment processing, including ACH, NACHA processing, and multiple payment channels, along with experience adding or maintaining payment methods.
• Experience building product integrations and working directly with APIs by reading, consuming, and integrating them.
• Strong interest in product development, data science, and the overlap between software and finance; experience with payment platforms, processors, or financial infrastructure is highly desirable.
• Familiarity with the payment lifecycle, reconciliation, dispute handling, and transaction monitoring.
• Ability to collaborate effectively across functions with a flexible, empathetic, and persuasive approach.

Values and working principles

Lendbuzz emphasizes that diversity creates better outcomes, compassion strengthens customer relationships, simplicity should guide product and process design, and honesty and transparency are essential in every interaction. The team is motivated by the belief that financial opportunity should be available to everyone.
