Team

As Product Manager for the Deposit Payments and Bank Integrations team at Raisin, you will own the end-to-end movement, reconciliation, and reporting of customer funds, as well as the interfaces between Raisin and partner banks.

A core part of the team’s mission is to ensure that partner banks have a clear, accurate, and timely view of their Raisin-related business—including customers, deposits, balances, and transaction activity— via well-defined APIs, file-based integrations, and operational reporting.

Your Responsibilities

• Reliable and scalable payment and settlement flows.
• Clear and auditable reporting of fund movements for customers, internal teams, and partner banks.
• Bank-facing integration standards covering APIs, reporting formats, reconciliation processes, and operational SLAs.
• Reducing manual effort and operational risk as the partner bank network scales.

You will collaborate closely with Business Development, Partner Bank Onboarding, Relationship Management, Deposits Operations, and Engineering leadership, often acting as the product authority on how banks should integrate with Raisin’s various interfaces.

• You communicate clearly across disciplines - from technical flows to user outcomes.
• You collaborate with engineering, operations, data, and compliance teams to drive improvements in our integration flows and financial reliability.

• Experience working in an agile, cross-functional engineering team.
• Comfortable using tools like Jira, Confluence, or similar to drive clarity and delivery.
