About the role

Product Manager responsible for the regional payments portfolio in Latin America, owning vision, strategy, roadmap, and execution for Brazil, Mexico, and the broader region, with emphasis on checkout optimization, local payment methods, and regulatory/compliance work.

Responsibilities

  • Own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for regional payments across Brazil, Mexico, and the broader region — prioritizing across regulatory, growth, and platform work.
  • Optimize checkout and conversion — reduce friction at the moment of booking, improve regional checkout conversion funnels, and lift authorization/approval and payment-success rates to grow bookings.
  • Grow through local payment methods and affordability products — expand local payment methods and installment/affordability options that improve access and conversion for regional guests.
  • Drive the full product lifecycle — discovery, PRDs, launch, ramp (ERF), and iteration — using experiments and A/B tests to validate impact.
  • Define product requirements for processor and payment-method integrations, partnering with the Partnerships and Engineering teams on delivery and performance.
  • Lead regulatory and compliance workstreams in partnership with Legal, Tax, Compliance, and Finance to meet local market requirements.
  • Define and track KPIs across conversion, cost, reliability, and revenue, and use data to prioritize and measure impact.
  • Monitor the market — regulatory change, competitor moves, and emerging payment rails — and translate it into the roadmap.
  • Partner cross-functionally across Engineering, Design, Analytics, Data Science, Finance, Compliance/Legal, Partnerships, and Country teams to execute a shared vision without direct authority.

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of product management experience, with a strong track record building and scaling payments or financial products — owning strategy, roadmap, and execution.
  • Deep understanding of the payments stack and how money moves in a marketplace environment — across payins, payouts, and the flow of funds.
  • Strong checkout and conversion instincts — a demonstrated ability to reduce friction at the moment of purchase and improve funnel conversion.
  • Hands-on experience with payments fundamentals: authorization and settlement, processors/gateways and acquirers, card-scheme rules, 3DS/SCA, tokenization/vaulting, and reconciliation.
  • Experience with local payment methods and affordability products (e.g., wallets, bank transfers, BNPL/installments).
  • Familiarity with the LATAM payments ecosystem — Pix, SPEI (Mexico's real-time interbank transfers), regional wallets, and installment culture ("parcelamento" / "meses sin interesses") — and local regulatory frameworks (e.g., Central Bank of Brazil, SAT Mexico).
  • Data-driven: fluent in defining KPIs, running experiments, and using analytics to guide decisions.
  • Technical acumen to partner closely with engineering and explain complex concepts simply.
  • Strong product thinking and user empathy — able to imagine the ideal experience and work backwards from customer needs.
  • English required; Portuguese and/or Spanish strongly preferred.
