Company Description At PayNearMe, we’re on a mission to make paying and getting paid as simple as possible. We build innovative technology that transforms the way businesses and their customers experience payments. Our industry-leading platform, PayXM™, is the first of its kind—designed to manage the entire payment experience from start to finish. Every click, swipe or tap is seamless, fast and secure, helping non-commerce businesses boost customer satisfaction, accelerate payments, and reduce costs. Our single platform handles it all: cards, ACH, digital wallets such as PayPal, Venmo, Cash App Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and even cash at more than 62,000 retail locations nationwide. Today, thousands of businesses across consumer lending, iGaming and online sports betting, property management, and tolling trust PayNearMe to deliver a payment experience that drives real results. In September 2025, we raised a $50 million Series E funding round to accelerate our growth.

Job Description We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead the strategy and execution of our next-generation money movement platform.

You’ll bring expertise in managing liquidity, funding source verification, cutoff windows, transaction routing, and exception handling. Familiarity with concepts like prefunding, sweep accounts, and funds availability will be key to ensuring efficient and resilient money flows. You should be equally comfortable diving into backend systems, managing cross-functional roadmaps, and defining strategic product direction.
