Role
Who you are
- Roadmap Leadership & Innovation: Proven ability to build and drive a multi-quarter product roadmap — balancing quick wins, platform investments, and longer-horizon innovation bets. Comfortable bringing creative problem-solving to ambiguous, high-impact problems
- Payments Domain Knowledge: Strong working knowledge of payment rails and processing fundamentals (ACH, RTP, FedNow, SWIFT, card networks), with enough familiarity with interchange economics and optimization levers to make informed roadmap decisions
- Regulatory Expertise: Working knowledge of US payments regulatory concepts (MTLs, Agent of Payee, Payment Facilitator models) and the ability to define risk-mitigation product strategies
- Vendor & Partner Management: Experience managing relationships with payment processors, PSPs, and technology partners, with the ability to influence commercial outcomes
- Executive Communication: Ability to produce concise, data-driven memos and presentations on complex financial and regulatory topics
- Technical Acumen: Ability to engage with engineering on API integrations, data modeling for payments reconciliation, and systems architecture
- Experience: 7+ years of product management experience, including 3+ years in payments, fintech, or financial services
Desirable
- Prior experience in M&A due diligence, corporate development, or strategic consulting focused on payments or billing
What the job involves
- We are looking for a product leader to define and implement Arcadia's payments strategy — serving as our internal fintech and payments leader
- You will own the roadmap for payment optimization, regulatory compliance, and vendor partnerships, driving multi-million dollar improvements in payment economics while building toward a modern, best-in-class payments platform
- Metrics & Optimization: Define strategy around end-to-end payment metrics (float days, cost per payment, card mix) and own the roadmap to optimize acceptance costs via Level 2/3 metadata, smart routing, and surcharge deployment
- Core System Roadmap: Drive a compelling multi-quarter roadmap balancing quick wins, platform investments, and longer-horizon innovation bets — with a north star of a modern, optimized fintech system
- Innovation Scouting: Continuously evaluate emerging payment technologies (RTP, FedNow, open banking APIs, AI-powered reconciliation) and build a pipeline of innovation opportunities into the roadmap
- Customer Funding: Engage customers to enhance products that ease fund collection, increase float, and deliver low-cost solutions to fund Arcadia's $35B payment throughput
- Risk & Policy: Serve as product lead for identifying and mitigating regulatory risk in customer funding and payments; partner with Legal/Compliance to define the company's stance on Money Tranfer Licenses (MTLs), Agent of Payee, and Payment Facilitator models
- Vendor & Partner Management: Own commercial relationships with key Payment Service Providers (PSPs) and processors; influence commercial outcomes, hold vendors accountable to SLAs, and incubate strategic fintech partnerships
Our take
Arcadia believes that without access to clear and actionable consumer data, companies’ climate plans are likely to prove fruitless. Fortunately, data is something Arcadia has an abundance of, with access to 95% of US utility accounts.
The company actually started with a B2C model, matching residents with suitable renewable energy sources based on their utility bill data, then shifted into community solar projects. Now armed with a high volume of consensually-shared customer data, Arcadia’s B2B API platform, Arc, allows companies to access its datasets in order to optimize their offerings.
The platform is used by companies such as electric vehicle charging network EVgo, Ford, Oracle, and Airbnb. Its popularity and growth potential have helped Arcadia win major investment, which continues to support the further development of its products and help to accelerate its community solar business.
