Role
Who you are
- 5+ years experience with product management and collaborating with engineering teams on product delivery and execution

What the job involves
- We’re looking for a strong individual-contributor Senior Product Manager to focus on our Cards products
- This individual will lead all product development relating to our virtual card, physical card, and digital wallet offerings, which are fundamental building blocks to any card program built on the Lithic infrastructure
- You will collaborate with our customers and other product leaders to build a roadmap for your product area, prioritize features, and take concepts from ideation to execution
- Understand the market and the customer: Develop a detailed understanding of how our payment processing and business operates and what our customers need
- Set the strategy for your product area, ensuring that it aligns with company strategy, and translate that strategy into projects for the next 3, 6, and 12 months
- Build and own the product roadmap for a meaningful portion of the Lithic API
- Prioritize what projects we should work on, why they are important, how they should work, how they should be prioritized, and how they should be measured
- Spec writing and documentation - think deeply about how product features should work and document these thoughts via specs with thorough coverage of edge cases
- Execute cross functional work - Work with design and engineering on scoping, task management, implementation, and follow up after launch. Collaborate with other stakeholders including support and compliance to ensure smooth delivery of new features
- Culture: Foster a product and customer centric mindset across the company. Hold a high bar for product quality and help enforce it across the company
Our take
Lithic has developed a fast and simple card-issuing API that allows developers to create and monitor payment cards - physical and virtual - and the transactions that take place on them. Its expanding list of use cases includes on-demand services, vertical SaaS, and alternative lending, meaning its product spans a promising and exciting remit of growing sectors.
Lithic began as Privacy.com, helping customers keep their transactions private and secure through generating disposable, virtual payment card numbers. The significant uptake prompted a pivot of service to corporate customers and the card-issuing API (although Privacy.com continues as a subsidiary), and this savvy strategy has seen notable success as the appetite for fintech solutions continues to grow.
The company has raised impressive rounds of funding to continue developing its platform and its B2B direction. It will need this to keep its edge over larger competitors like Galileo and Marqueta - that is, to maintain its more modern infrastructure, and therefore its appealingly agile functionality for its early-stage startup customers.
