Original listing text, shown exactly as published by the company.
10+ years of experience in Product Management, Engineering, Consulting, or starting a startup, with senior IC ownership in regulated payments, settlement, treasury, or brokerage clearing infrastructure.
Demonstrated end-to-end ownership of money-movement or settlement surfaces at production scale - at least two of: ACH / wire / RTP / FedNow rails, post-trade settlement, JIT or instant funding, prefunding, FX corridors, or broker-dealer clearing flows.
Direct experience navigating US payments and clearing regulatory frameworks - NACHA ACH operating rules, Federal Reserve oversight, FINRA / SEC clearing and customer-protection rules, OFAC screening, AML / BSA obligations as they touch money movement.
Track record of setting and executing an area-level roadmap across multiple in-flight workstreams in parallel - not just shipping a single product.
Proven ability to operate as a senior product owner who raises the standard around them - mentors peers, sets quality bar, represents the area in cross-functional and leadership forums without holding a manager title.
Exceptional written and verbal communication; ability to run partner-facing conversations, regulator-adjacent forums, and internal leadership updates.
Experience analyzing data using SQL and a relevant BI tool.
Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, finance, or equivalent.
Excitement about growing your impact through scope and influence across the money-movement and settlements area, rather than through team size.
A track record of owning and shipping multiple workstreams in parallel over the last 2-3 years - not just setting vision and facilitating tradeoffs.
Hands-on regulated-product experience at the shipping and mechanical-chain layer (e.g. ACH return code handling, settlement reconciliation, exception queues), not just the policy and framework layer.
The senior posture to take over an in-flight money-movement and settlements roadmap from day one, without a six-month ramp.
Who You Might Be (Nice-to-Haves)
Direct broker-dealer or institutional brokerage experience - Schwab, Fidelity, IBKR, Apex, Drivewealth, or correspondent-clearing equivalents.
Experience standing up money-movement or settlement programs from scratch, not just iterating on inherited ones.
Familiarity with the B2B2C correspondent / broker-as-a-service model - partners as primary customers, end retail customers downstream.
Direct experience with DTCC, NSCC, Fedwire, or other clearing-house settlement flows.
Familiarity with global payment rails outside the US - SEPA, FPS, regional ACH equivalents, or stablecoin-rail funding.
Experience unifying fragmented money-movement or settlement stacks behind consistent APIs and data models.
Background in broker-dealer treasury or clearing operations (reconciliation, exception handling, regulatory reporting) and automation opportunities.
AI-native PM workflow - recurring use of tools like Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, NotebookLM, or custom agents in PRD drafting, customer-call synthesis, data exploration, and prototyping.
