Senior Product Manager, Payments

Remote

The role

We’re hiring a senior, hands-on Product Manager to join WooCommerce Payments and take ownership of a defined area within our payments products and partner integrations.

You’ll collaborate closely with the Head of Product, and work day-to-day with engineering, design, support, and partnerships. This role is deeply executional. You’ll spend much of your time in the work: in Linear writing and refining issues, triaging bugs and incidents, reviewing and shaping flows in Figma, creating lightweight prototypes, and writing briefs or PRDs when they’re needed.

Payments at WooCommerce run at a serious scale—billions in total payment volume—and the quality of this experience directly affects merchant revenue, shopper conversion, and the success of Woo’s commercial engine. This role sits right where reliability, trust, and execution matter most.

What you’ll work on

  • Own product direction and execution for a key part of the payments product area, with clear goals, priorities, and measurable outcomes.
  • Improve merchant and shopper experiences across onboarding, checkout, refunds and disputes, payouts, reporting, and overall reliability.
  • Raise the quality bar by reducing failures and friction, lowering support volume, and improving product ratings and merchant trust.
  • Use data, support signals, and merchant feedback to decide what to work on next, define success measures, and make tradeoffs explicit.
  • Work closely with priority payments partners (including Stripe and PayPal) to improve integrations, ship changes, manage dependencies, and resolve issues.
  • Keep stakeholders aligned through clear, direct writing and communication about progress, risks, and decisions.

What we’re looking for

  • 7+ years in product roles, with senior IC experience owning complex problem spaces and influencing cross-functional teams through clarity of communication and precision of execution.
  • 4+ years in payments or fintech, ideally on products operating at scale; experience with large or global launches is a plus.
  • Strong product judgment. You can make good calls in messy situations and don’t need perfect information to move forward.
  • Comfort working on critical, high-trust systems where reliability matters and small changes can have outsized impact.
  • Ability to work deeply with engineers and designers on complex problems, including technical constraints and tradeoffs.
  • Strong analytical habits and a practical approach to metrics, dashboards, and instrumentation.
  • Clear written and verbal communication in a distributed, async environment.
  • Familiarity with WooCommerce, WordPress, or open-source ecosystems is a plus.

Salary range: $170,000-$240,000 USD.  Please note that salary ranges are global, regardless of location, and we pay in local currency.

We are searching for high-caliber candidates with the skills and qualities to have a net positive for Automattic. Pay will reflect the potential contribution and the impact you can bring, which may, in some cases, go beyond the range stated.

We’re pleased to offer a straightforward, competitive base salary, providing financial clarity without complex variable components.

OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
