Who you are
Metropolis is seeking a Director of Product, Payments to own how Metropolis processes, records, and reports on payments. Metropolis processes $5B in payments annually, $1B of which runs through our own platform today — this role will own and grow that $1B. You will lead product strategy for payment processing, enterprise billing, client/revenue reporting, and revenue automation/reconciliation. As an individual contributor reporting to the Head of Product, you will be hands-on with strategy, execution, and cross-functional alignment, with the opportunity over time to build and lead a team of product managers in this domain.
What you'll do
- Own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for payment processing, subscription billing, and revenue automation/reconciliation, ensuring accuracy, scalability, and reliability
- Own Metropolis’ payment processing relationships and strategy (processors, routing, fee structure), representing product in those partnerships
- Own client reporting strategy by working directly with Real Estate Partners (REPs) to understand their reporting needs and exploring innovative approaches such as MCP-based/agentic access to their data rather than defaulting to static dashboards
- Partner closely with Engineering to set priorities and co-create platform solutions
- Define and track key metrics, such as reconciliation accuracy, billing cycle time, and revenue leakage, to guide prioritization
- Communicate roadmap, progress, and risk to stakeholders across Product, Engineering, and Finance, including executive leadership
- Recruit, mentor, and develop a team of product managers as the organization scales
What we're looking for
- 8+ years of product management experience, with a track record owning payments, billing, or financial-systems products
- Deep understanding of payment processing (routing, reconciliation, PSP relationships) and enterprise/subscription billing
- Comfortable engaging with Engineering on system architecture and integration tradeoffs, without needing to own them
- Strong analytical skills and a data-driven approach to prioritization
- Exceptional communication and stakeholder management, including with clients (REPs) and executive leadership
- Proven ability to thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and drive clarity from complexity
- Experience leveraging AI tools to transform static workflows into responsive, high-output processes
While not required, these are a plus:
- Experience building and leading teams
Our Stack
- Languages + Frameworks: TypeScript, React, Scala (principally), Java (limited)
- Datastores: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Snowflake
- Cloud: AWS
- Version control: Git & GitHub
