Platform Product Manager — Payward Services

THE TEAM

Payward Services is an enterprise infrastructure platform that enables companies to seamlessly integrate trading, payments, funding, and digital asset services through a single unified system. It provides coordinated liquidity, custody, compliance, risk management, and settlement capabilities, reducing operational complexity for fintechs, banks, brokerages, and payment providers.

We are looking for a Platform Product Manager to join our Payward Services team. This is a builder: someone who can own a product roadmap end to end, go deep on how a flow actually works, and ship regulated B2B2C products (KYC/KYB, lending, unified APIs) from concept to launch.

THE OPPORTUNITY

- Own the product roadmap and build-out for our B2B2C platform products (KYC/KYB, lending, unified APIs)

- Defining requirements, partnering with Engineering on execution, and driving products from concept through launch and iteration.

- Get hands-on with the product itself: how a flow works, where it breaks, what needs to change to make it scale, and what it takes to bring it to market in a regulated environment.

- Drive cross-functional execution with Engineering, Legal, Compliance, and Finance to turn roadmap priorities into shipped product.

- Partner with Legal and Compliance to ensure new product builds meet regulatory requirements as part of the design and build process, rather than as a downstream gate.

- At a high level, support the operational functions tied to our US regulated entities as needed to keep product work moving.

WHAT YOU BRING

- Strong product management experience: you've owned a roadmap, shipped B2B or B2B2C products, and can speak fluently to product strategy, requirements, and execution.

- Direct, hands on experience implementing KYC, either building it in house or standing up a KYC solution to resell or offer to external parties. This is a must have, not a nice to have.

- Experience building or managing platform products (shared infrastructure, APIs, internal client or partner models) in a B2B or B2B2C context.

- Comfortable getting into the technical weeds with Engineering, not just managing product from the outside.

- Working familiarity with the US regulated financial landscape, enough to build products that meet regulatory requirements without needing a translator.

- A track record of driving complex, cross functional builds with no formal authority.

- An excellent communicator across regulators, boards, engineers, and commercial partners.

- Strong knowledge of Financial Services industry through

- A working understanding of the financial services industry — whether gained at a major financial institution, a fintech, a startup, or through adjacent regulated experience — enough to reason about how regulation, compliance, and money movement shape product decisions without needing it explained from scratch..

NICE TO HAVES

- Crypto or digital assets experience, in industry or through regulated product launches, including familiarity with crypto native operations (treasury and custody).

- Former founder or early product hire at a fintech or crypto startup.
