Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. WEX is a company providing payment products within its Health & Benefits digital organization. The Product Manager (Payments) will lead end-to-end delivery and continuous improvement of payment features, facilitate Scrum ceremonies, synthesize customer and industry insights, and make data-driven prioritization decisions. The role partners with engineering, compliance, operations, finance, and external payment vendors across healthcare payments and fintech products.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end execution for payment product features including HSA debit card rails, claims auto-adjudication, ACH/RTP money movement, and real-time payment notifications. Actively participate in and facilitate core Scrum ceremonies (e.g., Sprint Planning, Daily Standups, Refinement, Demos, Retrospectives), stepping up to lead ceremonies as needed. Drive short-term delivery with a bias for speed, iterating quickly based on stakeholder feedback and outcome data. Ensure delivery choices connect directly to adoption, revenue, and operational efficiency targets
- Lead discovery for payments-specific product problems — including spend authorization flows, payment partner integrations, and compliance-adjacent money movement constraints. Synthesize customer insight, payment industry signals, and competitive intelligence into testable hypotheses. Use AI-enabled research tools to accelerate synthesis while maintaining rigorous human judgment on conclusions
- Navigate payment-specific metrics including authorization rates, decline rates, transaction error rates, auto-adjudication throughput, and cost-per-transaction. Use both qualitative and quantitative inputs to drive prioritization decisions. Cross-check AI-generated analysis against source data and apply appropriate rigor based on decision reversibility and risk
- Drive effective communication with engineering, compliance, finance, operations, and external payment partners (card networks, ACH processors, custodians). Clarify decision ownership, proactively resolve impediments, and ensure no ambiguity turns into delivery drift. Understand the H&B payment strategy and contribute grounded ideas on sequencing and trade-offs
- Identify friction in the member payment experience — from card declines and reimbursement delays to claims submission errors — and translate trends into actionable product improvements. Participate in customer empathy sessions with employers, members, and brokers. Apply a test-and-learn approach to validate payment UX hypotheses before full build
