Senior Product Manager, Payments

Job summary

Responsibilities

As Senior Product Manager, Payments, you'll own how Mercor moves over $4 million a day to hundreds of thousands of experts in nearly every country on earth. Getting people paid accurately, quickly, and in the way they expect is the single most important promise we make to our workforce.

• Own the payout experience: Take full ownership of how experts get paid — from contract terms and time capture through disbursement, retries, and support resolution.
• Build the ledger and money movement platform: Partner with engineering on the ledger, reconciliation, and payout automation that keep every dollar correct, traceable, and…
• Expand global coverage: Grow the payout rails, methods, and currencies available to experts, weighing cost, speed, reliability, and local regulation market by market.
• Understand the business: Work backwards from payout cost, failure rates, support volume, and expert retention to decide what gets built.
• Get in the weeds: Write specs and PRDs, but also build the dashboards, dig through failed payouts, and make small PRs to unblock yourself.

What they're looking for

• Experience: 6+ years in product management, with meaningful time on payouts or disbursements specifically — not only payments acceptance or checkout.
• Payments depth: Working knowledge of payout rails, ledgers and double-entry accounting, reconciliation, FX, KYC, and tax and compliance requirements across markets.
• High Ownership: You take full accountability for outcomes, not just outputs — including when money moves incorrectly.
• Independence: Able to self-direct in ambiguous contexts, creating clarity for others.
• Technical Fluency: Comfortable building scrappy MVPs, querying the data yourself, and reading enough code to unblock engineering.
