Role Responsibilities Your responsibilities of the role will include:

1. Own the Payment Connectivity Delivery Roadmap Translate agreed Product, Commercial and Treasury priorities into a clear and executable connectivity roadmap. Maintain a single portfolio view across planned and active integrations. Assess proposed connectivity initiatives for delivery complexity, dependencies, capacity requirements and implementation risk. Provide stakeholders with the delivery and technical input required to support prioritisation and investment decisions. Sequence delivery based on agreed business priorities, dependencies, available capacity and execution risk. Ensure Product and Engineering resources are aligned against the highest priority connectivity initiatives. Maintain clear ownership, milestones and delivery expectations across the portfolio. Provide senior stakeholders with concise and credible visibility of progress, risks, dependencies and decisions required.
2. Drive Bank & Payment Rail Integration Delivery Lead integrations from initial discovery and requirements through engineering delivery, bank or scheme certification, launch and post launch stabilisation. Ensure individual Product Managers establish clear requirements, delivery plans, milestones and ownership. Work closely with Engineering, Architecture, Treasury, Operations, Compliance, Risk and external partners to resolve dependencies and drive decisions. Identify delivery problems early and ensure they are actively managed rather than becoming late stage surprises. Challenge unnecessary complexity and bespoke implementation. Drive issues to resolution where delivery spans multiple teams or ownership is unclear. Ensure certification and partner dependencies are understood and incorporated into delivery planning. Ensure launches meet agreed product, technical and operational readiness criteria. Establish strong post launch ownership and ensure significant issues are resolved quickly.
3. Build a Repeatable Payment Integration Capability Define consistent product patterns for integrating banks, payment rails and schemes. Work with Engineering and Architecture to develop reusable technical capabilities and abstractions wherever appropriate. Establish common approaches covering payment initiation and message mapping; validation; acknowledgements and payment status; returns and rejects; reconciliation; settlement; exception handling; monitoring and support; and certification and launch readiness. Establish reusable requirements, documentation and integration playbooks. Identify opportunities to automate integration, testing and certification activities. Ensure lessons from each integration improve the approach used for subsequent connections. Develop meaningful measures of integration performance, including delivery predictability, time to certification and time to live. Continuously reduce the time, effort and risk involved in bringing new connectivity live.
4. Lead the Payment Connectivity Product Team Allocate clear ownership across the connectivity roadmap. Establish common ways of working and expectations across the team. Set a high bar for requirements quality, product judgement, planning, communication and execution. Coach Product Managers through complex delivery, technical and stakeholder challenges. Ensure individual PMs understand not only their integration but how it fits into the wider Corpay payment platform. Create an effective operating rhythm across the team for roadmap management, delivery reviews, risk management and escalation. Step into critical integrations when additional seniority or leadership is required without becoming the default delivery PM for every initiative. Develop a team capable of handling increasing integration volume without requiring proportional growth in Product capacity.
5. Partner with Payments Product Leadership Identify emerging capability gaps and opportunities based on the existing connectivity portfolio. Provide assessment of integration complexity, dependencies, delivery options and likely investment required. Identify where existing connectivity or reusable capabilities could meet a requirement without another bespoke integration. Provide evidence from existing integrations, partner performance and operational experience to inform network investment decisions. Advise on the feasibility and sequencing of proposed connectivity investments. Translate agreed priorities into an executable roadmap.
6. Partner with Treasury Work closely with Treasury as new banking partners and network capabilities are evaluated and implemented. Translate agreed banking and network decisions into product and integration requirements. Ensure integrations support required funding, settlement, liquidity, account structures and operational models. Provide Treasury with clear visibility of integration progress, dependencies and issues. Work jointly with Treasury and external banking partners throughout onboarding, certification and launch. Ensure Product, Engineering and Treasury responsibilities are explicit throughout delivery.
7. Ensure Operational Readiness & Resilience Ensure new connectivity has appropriate monitoring, support processes, operational ownership and escalation paths before go live. Work with Operations to establish scalable BAU processes rather than partner specific manual workarounds. Ensure reconciliation, exception management and payment status processes are understood and operationally viable. Use post launch performance and incident data to identify opportunities for improvement. Ensure recurring operational problems feed back into the connectivity roadmap and reusable platform capabilities.

Experience & Background Significant product management or product delivery experience within payments, banking infrastructure or financial technology. Strong practical experience delivering bank, payment rail, clearing or scheme integrations. Experience managing multiple complex integrations or infrastructure initiatives concurrently. Strong understanding of the payment lifecycle, including initiation, clearing, settlement, reconciliation, payment status, returns and exceptions. Working knowledge of payment messaging and standards, including ISO 20022. Experience working directly with banks, processors, payment schemes or other network participants through integration and certification. Evidence of creating reusable integration patterns, processes or platform capabilities rather than repeatedly delivering bespoke implementations. Experience leading, coaching or coordinating Product Managers or comparable delivery professionals. Strong stakeholder management and executive communication skills. Demonstrated ability to bring structure, transparency and momentum to complex delivery environments. Experience operating across Product, Engineering, Treasury, Operations, Compliance and Risk in a regulated environment. Experience working directly with Treasury, settlement or liquidity teams would be advantageous.

Critical Competencies Execution Leadership Creates momentum, exposes problems early, drives decisions and holds teams accountable for delivery. Portfolio Management Can manage multiple integrations as a coherent portfolio rather than treating each as an independent project. Payments Expertise Understands payment rails, bank connectivity, clearing and settlement sufficiently deeply to challenge requirements and identify problems. Platform Thinking Constantly looks for reusable capabilities, standards and abstractions rather than accepting bespoke implementation as the default. Product Judgement Understands the customer and business rationale behind connectivity decisions and can contribute effectively to prioritisation without losing focus on execution.
