Job summary

Checkout.com is seeking a product leader to define and drive orchestration capabilities for enterprise merchants. You will partner with engineering, design and commercial teams to shape a scalable roadmap and delivery plan for a high-impact, API-first payments platform.

You will translate merchant insights into a focused strategy, design reliable provider connections, and guide cross-functional teams through pilot to enterprise adoption while maintaining merchant trust.

Qualifications

• You understand payments end-to-end - including PSPs, acquirers, credentials, webhooks, settlement, refunds, disputes and reconciliation.
• You have built or scaled API-first, platform or infrastructure products where reliability and operational excellence matter.
• You are comfortable with data such as approval performance, recovered payments, latency, provider health, cost and reconciliation accuracy.
• You are a systems thinker who can simplify complexity without hiding the important detail.
• You can move from merchant discovery to product strategy, technical trade-offs and executive communication.
• You know how to sequence a modular product around the highest-value use cases, take ownership in ambiguity and follow through.

Responsibilities

• Set product strategy for a core part of orchestration, from merchant problem to measurable commercial impact.
• Work directly with enterprise merchants to understand their payment stack and highest-value problems, then turn those insights into a focused roadmap.
• Design reliable experiences across provider connectivity, routing, retries and fallbacks, token portability, reporting and reconciliation.
• Build the foundations: consistent APIs and data models, provider abstraction, observability, auditability and safe change management.
• Lead delivery with engineering, design, commercial, operations, risk, compliance and finance.
• Shape the path from pilot to enterprise adoption, including migration, controlled rollout, rollback and customer co-creation.
• Protect merchant trust by making routing decisions explainable, configurable and provider-neutral.
