Flywire is seeking a Principal Product Manager for Payment Orchestration & Connectivity to lead the strategy and execution of the company's global payments platform. This is a senior, highly influential individual-contributor role focused on building intelligent routing and optimization across payment acceptance, with a broader charter spanning reusable payment connectivity and orchestration capabilities across pay-ins, bank payments, and payouts.
You will own the routing and orchestration roadmap and partner with domain product managers to shape an integrated platform roadmap that connects shared capabilities, dependencies, and sequencing across acceptance, pricing, onboarding, risk, and payouts. Your responsibilities include:
- Developing smart routing that improves authorization performance, reliability, conversion, and processing economics
- Shaping scalable global connectivity across processors, acquirers, card networks, banks, and payment rails such as ACH, SEPA, Faster Payments, and other regional payment systems
- Establishing normalized payment APIs, lifecycle states, statuses, and provider outcomes across card and bank payments
- Extending common orchestration capabilities over time across both pay-ins and payouts
- Partnering across Engineering, Data Science, Risk, Treasury, Operations, and Commercial teams to deliver a resilient global payments platform
You will turn complex payment economics, performance data, and customer needs into clear priorities and a platform roadmap. Your work will influence multiple product teams and help build capabilities that scale across markets, business models, and payment flows. This is a strategic platform role requiring you to build a connected end-to-end 3-year vision and strategy, identify and evaluate opportunities across payment methods and rails, build business cases for investment, and advise business and product leaders on opportunities with the greatest customer and commercial impact.

- Deep understanding of end-to-end money movement, including acceptance, settlement, refunds, returns, reconciliation, and payouts
- Proven track record integrating with processors, acquirers, card networks, banks, and alternative payment providers
- Strong knowledge of both card payments and bank rails such as ACH, SEPA, Faster Payments, wires, or real-time payment networks
- Strong platform thinking—ability to turn fragmented provider and rail capabilities into consistent, reusable products
- Metrics-driven approach with experience using data, experimentation, and intelligent decisioning to improve payment performance
- Ability to set strategy and drive execution across multiple teams without relying on direct authority
