Payments Associate Jobs in California (NOW HIRING)

You enjoy shaping the future of product innovation as a core member of the team, driving value for customers, guiding successful launches, and exceeding expectations. Join our dynamic team and make a meaningful impact by delivering high-quality products and data experiences that resonate with clients and internal users. 

As a Product Manager in Internal Reporting, you will be an integral part of the team responsible for innovating new product offerings and leading the end-to-end product lifecycle. You will act as the voice of the customer, define product strategy and priorities, and develop scalable products that deliver measurable customer and business value. 

This role uniquely combines strong product management discipline with deep data and analytics expertise. You will partner with business, engineering, design, data, and AI/ML teams to transform complex datasets and business requirements into intuitive reporting, analytics, and AI-enabled experiences. You will be expected to understand the underlying data, challenge assumptions, shape semantic models and metrics, and use data to make informed product decisions. 

As a Product Manager for the Internal Reporting channel within Merchant Services, you will help own the product strategy, roadmap, and delivery of a centralized reporting experience that provides access to merchant reporting, enables scalable self-service analytics, and delivers trusted, timely, and accurate reporting. You will also play a key role in emerging conversational AI capabilities, helping define how users dynamically query, interpret, and interact with trusted enterprise data. 

Success will be measured through adoption of trusted reporting and AI-enabled insights, strong governance and controls, improved self-service capabilities, measurable business outcomes, and the successful migration and decommissioning of legacy reporting platforms.
