Full Job Description
As Director of Product Management, A2A & Money Movement, you own the strategy, roadmap, and business outcomes for NMI's Account-to-Account (A2A) bank payment capabilities. This is a player-coach role. You will set direction, lead a small but impactful team of PMs and Designers, and stay deeply hands-on-writing requirements, joining customer calls, negotiating with partners, and making the hard product calls when needed.
About the Team

The A2A Money Movement team is building one of NMI's highest-growth product areas. As real-time payment rails mature-FedNow, RTP, ACH, open banking, push-to-card-our partners are demanding bank-direct payment options that reduce interchange costs, accelerate settlement, and unlock entirely new merchant use cases: disbursements, earned wage access, insurance payouts, B2B collections, marketplaces, escrow holding, and more.

This A2A team was established through NMI's acquisition of Dwolla, a leading ACH and real-time payments platform. You will inherit a strong foundation, live product, existing rails and relationships, and a seasoned team to build upon and scale within NMI's broader partner ecosystem.

This team owns NMI's strategy and execution across all money movement modalities: ACH (standard and same-day), real-time payments (RTP/FedNow), push-to-card, open banking / pay-by-bank, bank account verification, and cross-border transfers. This is not a maintenance role-it is a build role. You will be setting strategy in a space that is moving fast, with real revenue implications and growing partner demand.
You will:
  • Own the product vision and multi-year roadmap across A2A rails: ACH (standard and same-day), RTP, FedNow, push-to-card, open banking, disbursements, and payouts
  • Define the business case and go-to-market strategy for each money movement capability with clear revenue targets, margin expectations, and partner adoption metrics
  • Build and manage a product P&L for the money movement value stream; review quarterly with Finance and report outcomes to CPO
  • Develop deep understanding of partner and merchant use cases-disbursements, refunds, insurance payouts, earned wage access, B2B transfers, settlement, payroll, and collections-and translate them into a differentiated product strategy
  • Lead bank, ODFI/RDFI, and payment network relationships (Nacha, The Clearing House, FedNow Service, etc.) in partnership with Business Development
  • Partner with Engineering leadership on ledger, settlement, reconciliation, and fraud/risk architecture for A2A rails
  • Define bank account verification strategy-micro-deposits, instant verification, open banking connectivity-and own the partner integration approach
  • Establish fraud, compliance, risk and operational frameworks for A2A products in collaboration with Legal, Compliance, Risk and Payment Ops
  • Champion A2A capabilities internally and externally, building awareness and advocacy across Sales, Partner Success, and peer product teams to drive cross-functional alignment and surface new use cases
  • Drive cross-sell and upsell of A2A capabilities into NMI's existing partner base of 6,000+ ISOs and ISVs
  • Build, manage, and develop a team of PMs and Designers: set OKRs, maintain growth plans, run performance management
  • Use AI tools actively in your workflow-spec writing, competitive analysis, customer feedback synthesis, discovery acceleration-and set that expectation for your team
  • Represent A2A externally: customer workshops, sales calls, industry conferences, and written thought leadership
  • Contribute to NMI product culture: share market insights, mentor PMs across value streams, participate in hiring and onboarding
Minimum Requirements:
  • 8+ years in product management with at least 5 years in payments or financial services
  • Hands-on experience owning A2A payment products-ACH, RTP, FedNow, push-to-card, or open banking-not just card processing. You understand the rails, the rules, and the risks.
  • Demonstrated track record of building and growing revenue-generating payment products: defining pricing, owning a product P&L, and driving partner GTM execution
  • 3+ years managing a team of PMs, with a track record of developing talent and raising the bar
  • Experience leading and scaling geographically distributed teams in a fast-paced, high-performance business unit
  • Experience leading product through a corporate acquisition, including integration strategy, platform consolidation, and team culture alignment
  • Player/coach mentality: you write the strategy doc and still review the acceptance criteria. You don't disappear into leadership abstraction.
  • Strong commercial instincts-you connect every product decision to revenue impact, partner growth, merchant volume, and customer satisfaction
  • Deep experience working directly with customers, defining personas, jobs to be done, and creating customer feedback loops
  • Experience partnering directly with Engineering on payment system architecture: ledgers, settlement, reconciliation, return handling, and exception processing
  • Proven use of data-driven insights to quickly identify key performance drivers and inform prioritization
  • Exceptional execution skills with a bias towards action, rapidly anticipating and adapting to shifting priorities
  • Fluent with AI tools for product work-you use them daily and expect your team to do the same
  • Exceptional communicator: you can present a three-year vision to the CPO and explain ACH return codes to a new partner in the same day
  • Proven ability to operate in ambiguity and build structure where none exists
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience with open banking platforms (Plaid, MX, Finicity, or similar)
  • Nacha Accredited ACH Professional (AAP) or equivalent knowledge of ACH operating rules and Reg-E requirements
  • Experience with cross-border money movement or FX
  • SaaS or B2B embedded finance background
  • MBA or equivalent experience in high-growth fintech
