This is a highly cross-functional, execution- and strategy-focused role for a product manager who thrives at the intersection of systems thinking, partner collaboration, and global scale.

• Ensure payment integrations are built for long-term scalability, performance, and reliability, working across engineering, operations, and infrastructure teams
• Partner with the Payments Network team to bring new payment methods to life by leading how they are technically integrated into the platform, ensuring each connection is scalable, efficient, and aligned with Flywire’s global payment infrastructure strategy.
• Act as a bridge between external partners and internal systems, gathering technical and operational requirements, identifying gaps, and driving improvements in the way partners are onboarded and maintained.
• Define strategies and tradeoffs for partner integrations, balancing speed, cost, flexibility, and global reusability.
• Drive alignment across engineering, partnerships, finance, and compliance, ensuring clarity of scope, timeline, and success metrics.
• Support engineering teams with clear, actionable requirements while focusing your time on strategic direction, partner relationship management, and system-level improvements.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in the product space related to payments, fintech, or partner-facing roles.
• A proven ability to connect market needs to product outcomes, and influence stakeholders across functions and geographies.
• Demonstrated success in go-to-market execution, product lifecycle ownership, and customer experience leadership.
• Comfort with technical environments and delivery practices —enough to shape impactful solutions and collaborate with eng teams.
• Strong communication and presentation skills—you can represent Flywire at industry events and in partner meetings with confidence.
• A self-starter who thrives in a collaborative, fast-moving environment, with a bias toward action, execution and results.
• (Bonus) Experience working directly with banks, PSPs, or payment processors in the North American region.
