This is a senior product leadership role with meaningful scope and ownership. While you will lead through influence and collaboration, you are also expected to stay close to the work—grounded in systems, data, and execution—so decisions are fast, informed, and durable. Why This Role Matters Tapcheck’s platform was originally built for simpler financial flows. Today, our business has evolved: Funds may be disbursed once and repaid across many employers Payroll partners may aggregate repayments across clients Employee-level transactions must map cleanly to employer and partner identities Every dollar must be traceable, reconcilable, and compliant As complexity increases, money movement cannot be optimized in silos. This role exists to ensure payments, repayments, data models, and accounting realities work together seamlessly as Tapcheck scales.

Payments & Disbursements (Money Out) Lead strategy for outbound payments across: Payroll and general-purpose reloadable (GPR) cards ACH, RTP, and FedNow Debit push/pull Sponsor-bank and third-party rails Define how Tapcheck selects and routes payments based on speed, cost, reliability, compliance, and user experience. Partner closely with Engineering to evolve toward a flexible, rail-agnostic payment orchestration layer. Own the roadmap for card products and payment instruments that support wage access and future financial products. Repayments, Collections & Money In Be accountable for the strategy and integration of Tapcheck’s repayments ecosystem, including: Employer-funded repayments Payroll service bureau integrations Employee-level recovery flows Invoicing, ACH, real-time payments, checks, and API-based collections Ensure repayment systems scale with increasing partner complexity and transaction volume. Drive alignment between repayment logic, transaction data models, and accounting requirements. Partner closely with Repayments Product, Payment Operations, Risk, Data, and Accounting to ensure recovery is predictable, transparent, and auditable. Systems, Data & Financial Integrity Ensure every transaction—outbound or inbound—is: Fully traceable Correctly attributed Reconcilable across operational systems and financial reporting Guide the evolution of data models that support aggregation, itemization, and multi-entity financial flows. Balance automation and control to reduce manual effort while maintaining financial correctness. Execution, Economics & Leadership Own unit economics across money movement, including processing costs, interchange, recovery rates, losses, and contribution margin. Define and track KPIs that reflect real system health (e.g., success rates, latency, cost per transaction, exception rates). Leverage modern tooling and AI-enabled product development practices to design, build, and ship high-quality systems with speed and accuracy. Lead cross-functional execution across Product, Engineering, Finance, Risk, Compliance, CX, and Operations. Act as a strategic thought partner to executive leadership on sequencing, tradeoffs, and long-term platform evolution. What You’ll Bring We’re looking for a senior product leader who combines systems thinking, execution strength, and sound judgment. Strong candidates often bring many (not all) of the following: Experience building or scaling payment platforms, financial infrastructure, or transaction-heavy systems. Comfort owning both money-out and money-in flows, even if prior experience skews toward one. Strong intuition for data modeling, operational realities, and accounting implications. Experience working with banks, payment processors, payroll providers, or fintech infrastructure partners. A hands-on leadership style—able to dive into details when needed while maintaining strategic clarity. The ability to move quickly and decisively without sacrificing correctness or completeness. Specific vendors, tools, or exact years of experience matter less than how you think, how you execute, and what you’ve built. Why You’ll Be Excited About This Role You’ll own one of the most critical systems at Tapcheck. Your work will directly impact trust, scalability, and product velocity. You’ll help shape Tapcheck’s evolution from a payments feature into a full financial platform.
