About the Role

~1 min read
  • Own discovery, prioritization, and outcomes for the BillPay MX squad — understand why payment success rates move, why reconciliation breaks, and why customers churn, not just what launched
  • Build deep understanding of SPEI infrastructure: clearing windows, return codes, CLABE validation, and failure propagation — and extend that to cross-border flows (FX rails, correspondent banking, settlement timing)
  • Maintain and evolve banking partner relationships from a product perspective: know what integration contracts allow, where bottlenecks are, and what needs to be negotiated next
  • Own compliance signals: SAT requirements, CNBV guidelines, and PLD/AML obligations for transfer products
  • Define and track the metrics that matter: payment success rate, settlement time, reconciliation error rate, time-to-resolve for failed transfers, and BillPay contribution to customer retention
  • Design and iterate on disbursement workflows — from single transfers to bulk payment runs for hundreds of suppliers
  • Prototype with AI tools (Cursor, Claude Code, v0) before committing engineering time
  • Contribute straightforward code changes (copy, config, feature flags, simple UI, analytics) through engineer-reviewed PRs
  • Work in Git daily: read PRs, understand what shipped, follow what's blocked

Experience

  • 5+ years in product management, with at least 2 years owning a payments, banking, or financial infrastructure product
  • Track record of shipping products that moved business metrics — not just features that launched
  • Hands-on experience with payment rails, banking APIs, or financial infrastructure at a product level
  • Comfortable working with engineers as peers, not through project managers or coordinators

Domain knowledge — payments

  • Deep understanding of SPEI: clearing cycles, error handling, CLABE structure, and how to design reliable retry and fallback flows
  • Familiarity with cross-border payment rails: FX conversion, correspondent banking, SWIFT or alternative rails, and associated compliance overhead
  • Familiarity with Mexican banking regulations: SAT CFDIs, CNBV licensing implications, AML/PLD obligations
  • Experience integrating with or managing bank correspondent relationships from a product side
  • Understands how reconciliation works end to end: what breaks it, how to design around it, and how to give finance teams the visibility they need

Technical fluency

  • Can prototype a working concept using AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, or similar)
  • Comfortable with Git: branches, commits, PRs, reading diffs
  • Can read code well enough to follow what a PR does and ask informed questions
  • Understands API integrations, webhooks, async payment flows, and idempotency patterns at a conceptual level

Product fundamentals

  • Strong discovery instincts — finds the real problem before designing a solution
  • Data-literate: comfortable with SQL, funnel analysis, and experiment design
  • Clear written communicator in both Spanish and English
  • Strong stakeholder management across engineering, banking partners, compliance, finance, and enterprise sales

Mindset

  • High agency — defaults to action over process
  • Treats AI tools as core workflow, not a novelty
  • Comfortable in ambiguous regulatory environments — knows how to make progress without waiting for perfect clarity

Nice to Have

~1 min read
  • Experience with ERP integrations (SAP, Oracle, Aspel, CONTPAQi) from a payments or AP perspective
  • Familiarity with Banxico's regulatory framework and SPEI operating rules
  • Experience with multi-currency or cross-border payment products at production scale
  • SQL fluency beyond "can write a query" — you've built your own dashboards and done your own reconciliation analysis

LANGUAGES Full bilingual proficiency in English and Spanish required. Native or near-native Spanish is a hard requirement — not a nice-to-have. You'll work in English with cross-functional teams across LatAm and in Spanish with banking partners, regulators, and customers in Mexico. Portuguese is a plus.

Claridians in a hybrid mode split their time between working from the office, talking to or visiting customers, or working from home. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for each individual and team.

We don't enforce a minimum number of days for most roles, but you're expected to spend time at the office organically, and be at the office most days during your ramp-up or when required by your leader.
