Senior Product Manager

The Work

We're looking for a Product Manager to own Payouts - how employees and contractors actually get paid across Check's infrastructure. It's a well-scoped, high-trust domain: ACH is live and stable today, and we're gearing up for bigger swings next year. You'll partner closely with a dedicated engineering counterpart, Check leadership, and our partners - software companies across diverse verticals - to keep payouts rock-solid while building what's next.

In this role, you will

• Own execution on Payouts end-to-end, from ACH today toward same-day pay and new payment methods
• Take a well-scoped problem and run with it - you'll be trusted to execute thoroughly and with strong judgment, not just to check boxes
• Sweat the details: catch edge cases before they ship and hold a high bar for quality, with minimal need for rework
• Know when to make the call yourself and when to loop in your manager - escalation judgment matters as much as independent execution
• Partner closely with your dedicated engineering counterpart and cross-functional teams (engineering, operations, partners) to ship reliably
• Connect directly with Check's partners to understand how payouts show up in their day-to-day, and translate that into product decisions

Many backgrounds could fit this role, but ideal candidates will have some or all of the following:

• Product management experience in technology companies
• A track record of thorough, low-iteration execution on well-scoped work - you ship things that don't come back for rework
• Good judgment about when to escalate versus handle something yourself
• Payments experience is a plus, but not required - payroll and tax knowledge isn't required either; we consider it learnable
• Comfort partnering closely with engineering, operations, and external partners to drive a project to completion
• Willingness to attend our annual 3-day company offsite in the spring
