Job description

The Role

Founded in 2005, Payoneer is the global financial platform that removes friction from doing business across borders, with a mission to connect the world's underserved businesses to a rising global economy. We're a community with over 2,500 colleagues all over the world, working to serve customers, and partners in over 190 countries and territories.

By taking the complexity out of the financial workflows -including everything from global payments and compliance to multi-currency and workforce management, to providing working capital and business intelligence -we give businesses the tools they need to work efficiently worldwide and grow with confidence.

What you'll do

• Take the MCP to production. Take Payoneer's MCP work from proof-of-concept to production - exposing capabilities such as balance, transactions, payouts, and FX as tools that AI agents (e.g. ChatGPT, Claude) can call. Partner with Account Security and Core Foundations on auth, governance, and a secure read-first rollout.
• Turn API access into a growth lever. Payoneer exposes hundreds of APIs, but only a fraction of customers can reach them and onboarding still takes weeks - capping adoption and the retention upside of integrated customers. Own the strategy to close that gap end-to-end, with self-serve onboarding, developer experience, and API governance as the execution threads.
• Turn demand into a roadmap. Synthesize signals from CSM, Sales, and regional GTM teams (EMEA, LATAM, APAC) into a prioritized, evidence-backed roadmap, and prove the business case - including the retention impact of API-integrated customers.
• Lead cross-functionally. Coordinate Risk (eligibility), Security (MCP/API risk model), Legal (data sharing and LLM integrations), Pricing, and Engineering to unblock launches and land outcomes, not just features.

Who you are

• 6+ years in product management, including significant experience owning API, platform, developer-facing, or integration products.
• Strong technical fluency: comfortable discussing REST APIs, webhooks/events, authentication (OAuth), SDKs, and integration architecture directly with engineers.
• Proven ability to take an ambiguous, unowned area and create clarity - strategy, roadmap, and shipped product - with a high degree of independence.
• Track record of building self-serve or developer experiences, and of driving measurable adoption and time-to-value improvements.
• Excellent cross-functional leadership: you align Risk, Security, Legal, GTM, and Engineering around shared outcomes and keep them moving.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; you frame decisions with data and are comfortable defining metrics where none exist.
• Fluent English, written and verbal. Based in India with the ability to work in a hybrid model and collaborate across global time zones.

What could set you apart

• Hands-on exposure to AI-native interfaces - Model Context Protocol (MCP), agent tooling, or LLM integrations - and a point of view on where agent-driven finance is heading.
• Experience in fintech, payments, or another regulated environment, and fluency working within compliance, risk, and security constraints.
• Familiarity with API aggregators and ERP/accounting ecosystems (e.g. Codat, Rutter, Xero, QuickBooks, NetSuite).
• Experience productizing an existing internal API surface - governance, standardization, and developer adoption at scale.
• A builder's bias: you've turned a first customer or first use case into a repeatable, scalable product.
