About the role

Senior Product Manager responsible for end-to-end payments platform, payout rails, and global money movement to Mercor's experts. Owns payouts, ledger, contracts, and payments operations to enable fast, accurate global payments and maintain expert trust.

Responsibilities

  • 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 auditable at scale.
  • 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.
  • Collaborate: Partner closely with engineering, finance, compliance, operations, and support to ship quickly without breaking trust.

Qualifications

  • Experience: 6+ years in product management, with meaningful time on payouts or disbursements specifically — not only payments acceptance or checkout. Prior SWE, ML, or DS experience preferred.
  • 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.
  • User Obsession and Understanding: Talks to experts, operators, and finance partners frequently, and knows how to conduct real user research.
  • Balance of Metrics & Vision: Equally comfortable running rigorous experiments and pushing forward visionary bets.
