Arcadia is the global utility data and energy solutions platform, processing ~$35B/year in customer utility bills across 1,000+ enterprise customers. We help organizations manage energy costs, procurement, and sustainability across every stage of the energy management lifecycle.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We are looking for a product leader to define and implement Arcadia's payments strategy — serving as our internal fintech and payments leader. You will own the roadmap for payment optimization, regulatory compliance, and vendor partnerships, driving multi-million dollar improvements in payment economics while building toward a modern, best-in-class payments platform.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Payment & Treasury Roadmap

  • Metrics & Optimization: Define strategy around end-to-end payment metrics (float days, cost per payment, card mix) and own the roadmap to optimize acceptance costs via Level 2/3 metadata, smart routing, and surcharge deployment.
  • Core System Roadmap: Drive a compelling multi-quarter roadmap balancing quick wins, platform investments, and longer-horizon innovation bets — with a north star of a modern, optimized fintech system.
  • Innovation Scouting: Continuously evaluate emerging payment technologies (RTP, FedNow, open banking APIs, AI-powered reconciliation) and build a pipeline of innovation opportunities into the roadmap.
  • Customer Funding: Engage customers to enhance products that ease fund collection, increase float, and deliver low-cost solutions to fund Arcadia's $35B payment throughput.

Risk & Compliance

  • Risk & Policy: Serve as product lead for identifying and mitigating regulatory risk in customer funding and payments; partner with Legal/Compliance to define the company's stance on Money Tranfer Licenses (MTLs), Agent of Payee, and Payment Facilitator models.

Fintech Vendor Management & Partnerships

  • Vendor & Partner Management: Own commercial relationships with key Payment Service Providers (PSPs) and processors; influence commercial outcomes, hold vendors accountable to SLAs, and incubate strategic fintech partnerships.

WHAT WILL HELP YOU SUCCEED

  • Payments Domain Knowledge: Strong working knowledge of payment rails and processing fundamentals (ACH, RTP, FedNow, SWIFT, card networks), with enough familiarity with interchange economics and optimization levers to make informed roadmap decisions.
  • Regulatory Expertise: Working knowledge of US payments regulatory concepts (MTLs, Agent of Payee, Payment Facilitator models) and the ability to define risk-mitigation product strategies.
  • Vendor & Partner Management: Experience managing relationships with payment processors, PSPs, and technology partners, with the ability to influence commercial outcomes.
  • Executive Communication: Ability to produce concise, data-driven memos and presentations on complex financial and regulatory topics.
  • Technical Acumen: Ability to engage with engineering on API integrations, data modeling for payments reconciliation, and systems architecture.
  • Experience: 7+ years of product management experience, including 3+ years in payments, fintech, or financial services.

Arcadia Self-Identification Questions

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in Arcadia’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are required to measure our progress toward having at least 7% of our workforce be individuals with disabilities. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had a disability. Because a person may become disabled at any time, we ask all of our employees to update their information at least every five years.

Identifying yourself as an individual with a disability is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer will be maintained confidentially and not be seen by selecting officials or anyone else involved in making personnel decisions. Completing the form will not negatively impact you in any way, regardless of whether you have self-identified in the past. For more information about this form or the equal employment obligations of federal contractors under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
