About the job
Responsibilities
- Independently define programs across Link's payment, identity, and consumer finance initiatives, including scoping, setting objectives, defining success criteria, and influencing resource allocation to deliver outcomes.
- Apply consistent prioritization and decision-making frameworks across your programs, driving high-velocity yet durable decisions that move the team forward without creating downstream debt.
- Identify obstacles and risks across Link's cross-functional workstreams, proactively communicate them to stakeholders, and develop plans to address and prevent their recurrence.

- Drive clarity across all stakeholders on goals, problems, and intended outcomes, serving as the connective tissue across Link sub-teams and their upstream and downstream dependencies. Operate similarly across Stripe, representing the Link org to collaborators in peer organizations.
- Develop a strong point of view on Link's product development strategy and use it to define programs with measurable outcomes, adapting them as the product and user needs evolve.
- Understand the technical challenges across Link's systems, payment flows, identity infrastructure, fraud and risk models, money movement, and partner closely with engineering leads to define the most effective path to delivery.
Minimum Requirements
- 10+ years of product management or technical program management experience, including managing programs across all phases of software development.
- Proven track record of defining and executing complex programs across multiple functions in consumer-facing or payments products.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to establish strong relationships with stakeholders and senior leaders.
- Proven ability to navigate ambiguity, bring rapid clarity to multi-stakeholder problems, and drive teams toward effective solutions.
- Working knowledge of API design and high-level system architecture, sufficient to partner with engineering teams on program delivery.
Preferred Qualifications

- Familiarity with fraud and risk systems, identity verification, or financial compliance in a consumer product context.
