About the role
As Senior Product Manager, Payments, you'll own how Mercor moves over $4 million a day to hundreds of thousands of experts in nearly every country on earth. Getting people paid accurately, quickly, and in the way they expect is the single most important promise we make to our workforce.
What they're looking for
- Experience: 6+ years in product management, with meaningful time on payouts or disbursements specifically — not only payments acceptance or checkout. Prior SWE, ML, or DS experience preferred
- Payments depth: Working knowledge of payout rails, ledgers and double-entry accounting, reconciliation, FX, KYC, and tax and compliance requirements across markets
- High Ownership: You take full accountability for outcomes, not just outputs — including when money moves incorrectly
- Independence: Able to self-direct in ambiguous contexts, creating clarity for others
- Technical Fluency: Comfortable building scrappy MVPs, querying the data yourself, and reading enough code to unblock engineering
- User Obsession and Understanding: Talks to experts, operators, and finance partners frequently, and knows how to conduct real user research
