Payments Manager US​/Americas

Payments Manager - (US/Americas)

Wallet Connect and Reown equip builders with the tools to create seamless, secure, and intuitive digital ownership experiences. Since its origins as a simple QR code in 2018, Wallet Connect has grown into a comprehensive network serving 75,000+ apps, 700+ wallets, and over 50 million users.
Together with the Reown SDK, we provide cutting‑edge infrastructure that powers next‑generation app and wallet experiences across Web3 — enabling frictionless movement of value.
Following the successful launch of Wallet Connect Pay, we’re expanding into solutions that allow payments companies to leverage blockchain to enhance their customer experiences — from payouts and checkouts to point‑of‑sale, deposits, and funding flows.

We’re seeking an experienced Payments Manager (US) to accelerate adoption of our payments stack among leading payment service providers (PSPs), fintechs, and enterprise partners across the US. This is a strategic, market‑facing role at the intersection of traditional payments and on‑chain infrastructure. You’ll build relationships with key ecosystem players, shape our go‑to‑market strategy, and help define the next generation of digital payment experiences powered by Wallet Connect.

Working closely with our BD, Product, Engineering, and Marketing teams, you’ll bridge fiat and on‑chain commerce, ensuring Wallet Connect and Reown remain the go‑to solutions for global payments innovation.

This opportunity is ideal for someone currently in the payments or fintech ecosystem — perhaps at a PSP, acquirer, or neobank — who’s eager to shape the next chapter of digital payments innovation. You’re excited by the idea of building from the ground up, helping define how traditional payment systems evolve toward blockchain‑enabled infrastructure. You enjoy operating in fast‑moving, high‑ownership environments where your relationships, insight, and execution directly shape product direction and market impact.

If you’ve ever thought, “I understand payments — but I want to be part of what’s next,” this is that opportunity.

• Lead strategic partnerships with PSPs, acquirers, custodians, and fiat providers across US/Americas.
• Build and manage a high‑quality pipeline of opportunities that drive adoption and revenue.
• Negotiate commercial agreements and oversee deal execution from prospect to integration (in collaboration with Product, Solutions Engineering, and Legal).
• Drive awareness and adoption of Reown’s payments stack (e.g. Pay‑with‑Wallet, Pay‑with‑Exchange, App Kit integrations, and on/off‑ramp partnerships).
• Represent Wallet Connect at regional fintech and crypto events, round tables, and conferences to promote on‑chain payments innovation.
• Work cross‑functionally to co‑design pilot programs, frameworks, and co‑marketing initiatives with strategic partners.
• Act as the regional payments subject‑matter expert, ensuring customer feedback and regional nuances inform product development.
• Collaborate closely with Product and Engineering to help shape the roadmap for key capabilities: payouts, checkouts, point‑of‑sale, deposits, and funding flows.
• Monitor and analyze payment trends, regulatory shifts, and consumer behaviors across US/Americas.
• Provide insights and recommendations to global BD and leadership teams.

• 3+ years in payments, fintech, or financial infrastructure, ideally in partnerships, BD, or product commercialization roles.
• Deep understanding of payments fundamentals — acquiring, issuing, reconciliation, settlement, FX, KYC/AML, and regulatory frameworks.
• Proven experience building and closing strategic partnerships with PSPs, acquirers, or large fintechs.
• Strong network across US/Americas.
• Exceptional communicator, able to translate technical capabilities into commercial value.
• Comfortable engaging with both traditional finance institutions and emerging Web3 companies.
• Entrepreneurial, resourceful, and self‑directed — able to operate with autonomy across time zones.

• Join the team that built a network expected to power $400 Bn in volume in 2025 — with payments now a strategic pillar of our business.
• Work alongside industry‑leading partners including Shopify, Coinbase, and Circle.
• Own a region with high autonomy and visibility.
• Influence the product roadmap and have a seat at the table defining how blockchain payments evolve globally.
• Be part of a mission‑driven, globally distributed team building the financial internet of the future.
