OverviewThe OpportunityWe are seeking a VP of Product Management & Strategic Initiatives to lead ClickPay's product organization and drive the company's highest-impact strategic programs. This is a dual-mandate leadership role: you will build and lead a team of four Product Managers responsible for new product features across the full product lifecycle, while personally owning key strategic initiatives that span the business-from monetization and payment network economics to enterprise partnerships and regulatory readiness.
You will operate in a cross-functional matrix organization, partnering closely with Sales, Marketing, Implementations, and Support to ensure products are not only well-built, but well-launched, well-adopted, and well-supported. The right candidate combines deep payments and fintech domain expertise with strong people leadership and the executive presence to influence senior stakeholders across ClickPay and RealPage.
ResponsibilitiesProduct Leadership- Lead, coach, and develop a team of four Product Managers, setting clear priorities, raising the bar on product craft, and building a high-performing product culture.
- Own the product roadmap for new features and capabilities, balancing customer needs, revenue impact, platform scalability, and compliance requirements.
- Drive the full product lifecycle-discovery, requirements definition, development partnership with Engineering, beta programs, launch, adoption, iteration, and end-of-life decisions.
- Define and execute go-to-market strategies in partnership with Marketing and Sales, including positioning, pricing, packaging, enablement, and launch readiness.
- Establish and track product KPIs (adoption, transaction volume, authorization rates, revenue per unit, NPS) and use data to inform prioritization and investment decisions.
- Transform the ways of working into adoption of AI based product management tools to change the velocity of product and engineering initiatives.
- Launch of new features such as PayPal, Venmo, Cash App and other alternative payments into the product that will drive 10% growth in incremental revenue.
Strategic Initiatives- Lead the transformation of cross-functional strategic programs of company-wide importance-such as payment economics optimization (interchange, network tokenization, account updater), enterprise partnership enablement, wallet and alternative payment method expansion, and regulatory compliance readiness.
- Serve as the connective tissue across Sales, Marketing, Implementations, and Support in a matrix organization-aligning stakeholders, removing blockers, and driving initiatives from business case to measurable outcome.
- Prepare and present executive-level analyses, business cases, and operating review materials to ClickPay and RealPage leadership.
- Represent product and strategy in enterprise client and partner conversations, supporting complex commercial negotiations with product expertise.
- Monitor the competitive, regulatory, and payment network landscape (card brand rules, state-level fee legislation, NACHA requirements) and translate changes into product and business strategy.
QualificationsWhat You'll Bring- 15+ years of product management experience, including 5+ years leading and developing product managers.
- Required: Deep domain expertise in payments and fintech-card processing, ACH, interchange economics, digital wallets, tokenization, payment gateways, and/or billing platforms.
- Proven track record of taking products from concept through launch and scale, including hands-on ownership of go-to-market execution.
- Demonstrated success leading strategic initiatives in a matrixed environment, influencing without direct authority across sales, marketing, operations, and support functions.
- Strong analytical and financial acumen-comfortable building unit economics models, sizing opportunities, and defending investment cases with data.
- Executive-level communication skills: crisp writing, confident presentation, and the ability to distill complexity for senior audiences.
- Bachelor's degree required; MBA or equivalent advanced degree preferred.
Nice to Have- Experience in proptech, property management software, or residential real estate payments.
- Familiarity with payment network programs and compliance frameworks (Visa/Mastercard interchange programs, PCI DSS, state surcharge and fee regulations).
- Experience supporting enterprise partnership or M&A-driven client retention initiatives.
