Product Manager:
Secure & Exchange (Vault & Forward API)
This role owns one of 's most strategic bets: becoming the system of record for payment credentials, independent of acquiring. You will lead Vault and Forward API – the core infrastructure that enables PSP-agnostic architectures, network-token-first strategies, and the shift toward PAN-less commerce. This is a mini-GM role spanning product strategy, infrastructure, and commercial ownership.
What You'll Own Strategy & Commercial Ownership- Define and drive a 12–36 month strategy for Vault and Forward API
- Own pricing, packaging, and revenue expansion (including standalone Vault deals)
- Build and defend investment cases (cost‑to‑serve, scheme fees, unit economics)
- Partner with Sales and Solutions to win enterprise, multi‑PSP merchants
Credential Platform
- Define core primitives: instruments, customers, tokens, multi‑instrument linking, metadata
- Own PCI DSS 4.x posture and translate compliance into merchant value
- Ensure first‑class integration with network tokens and account updater services
- Drive interoperability with wallets, Flow, and broader surfaces
Programmable Infrastructure
- Own credential forwarding: source resolution, request construction, encryption, token injection, and response handling
- Expand beyond fallback use cases (fraud tools, 3DS, loyalty, partner migrations)
- Ensure reliability, latency, and observability on the critical payment path
- Build debugging and visibility tools for developers
- Own the public API surface across Vault and Forward
- Drive SDKs, documentation, and reference architectures
- Reduce integration time from months to days
- Partner with Engineering to deliver reliably at scale
- Align with Risk, Compliance, and Legal on PCI scope, regulation, and scheme changes
- Work across Authentication, Routing, and other product teams to ensure seamless credential flows
- 5+ years in product management, including 3+ years in payments
- Experience building developer‑facing APIs (REST, webhooks, idempotency, error design)
- Strong technical fluency (OAuth, mTLS, encryption, system design trade-offs)
- Deep understanding of the card stack (auth, capture, disputes, scheme economics)
- Strong grasp of tokenisation (network, PSP, device‑based)
- Familiarity with PCI DSS (ideally v4.x) and scope reduction
- Experience with scheme programs (VTS, MDES, account updater)
- Ability to own P&L inputs and pricing strategy
- Data‑driven decision making with clear success metrics
- Comfortable operating across product, engineering, sales, and compliance
- Customer‑obsessed with real merchant empathy
- Clear communicator across technical and non‑technical audiences
- High ownership with strong cross‑functional collaboration
- Experience building PSP‑agnostic vaults or forwarding layers
- Exposure to regulated markets (EU, UAE, India, Brazil)
- Familiarity with emerging models (e.g. agentic commerce)
- Industry presence (writing, speaking, or scheme participation)
