Role
Who you are
- Senior PM with a strong payments background (fintech a plus)
- Exceptionally high attention to detail; strong finance background is a plus
- Excited to be close to the build and close to customers, not managing from a distance
- Likes working on a small team and moving fast; bias toward action
- Comfortable with the regulatory landscape around payments, banking, and cards
- Uses AI tools and figures things out independently
What the job involves
- Own our payments product alongside a small, dedicated team
- Our platform processes at least $3 billion in payment volume
- We move money across a lot of surfaces (banking, debit cards, Stripe, SAP, partner advances, and payroll), we run our own billing platform, and we lean on third-party partners for most of our fintech capabilities, so much of this is integration, orchestration, and tracking work
- There is a lot to build here
- You will consolidate a system built across many legacy integrations into something clean, reliable, and fast, and you will spend a lot of time directly with customers
- Own the payments product roadmap with a dedicated payments team: banking, cards, Stripe, SAP, partner advances, payroll, and our billing platform
- Consolidate and simplify a payments platform assembled from many legacy system integrations
- Work hands-on with the fintech partners who power most of our payment capabilities, and own the integration and reconciliation/tracking layer across them
- Spend significant time with customers to understand how money actually moves for them and where it breaks
- Partner daily with engineering to build, ship, measure, and iterate
- Navigate the laws and regulations governing payments and financial services
- Own your metrics end to end, from integration reliability to customer outcomes
- This is a full-commitment, full-ownership role. You will work very closely with the CEO, in our San Francisco office five to six days a week
Application process
- Apply with your resume and a short note on the most complex payments problem you have owned
Our take
Wonderschool is a digital platform that enables parents and families to identify and connect with programs and preschools for infants and toddlers. The app has a huge database of potential providers, and uses intelligent software to identify the best child care and microschools for children.
This is an important service, as there are problems at both ends of the pipeline. Educators and carers are often paid insufficiently, while many parents struggle to find suitable education programs for their children. Wonderschool promises to solve those problems, while also providing a bespoke service that ensures that children get the care that they really require.
The childcare management platform has been instrumental in improving the quality and accessibility of care to children, as well as increasing the salaries of childcare professionals. It is fast-growing and can expect to continue this way following funding and partnerships.
