Product Manager, Payments

About the role

Wonderschool is solving one of the most critical market problems in the U.S.: childcare access and affordability. We're building an AI-powered platform that enables providers to operate financially sustainable childcare businesses at scale. We've raised over $50M from Andreessen Horowitz, Goldman Sachs, and other top investors, and are a Series B company focused on product growth and operational leverage. As Product Manager for Fintech & Payments, you will own core financial products that drive usage, revenue, and profitability. You'll move fast, identify and ship high-leverage product improvements, and create tools that providers prefer over any alternative. This role is ideal for someone with strong product instincts, a builder's mindset, and a clear focus on measurable business impact.

Responsibilities

• Lead product development for tuition payments and other provider-facing financial tools
• Grow total payments volume, product adoption, and net revenue
• Improve provider NPS and reduce friction across the billing experience
• Drive profitability and improve unit economics through product and pricing strategy
• Work end-to-end with engineering, design, and data to ship features weekly
• Talk to providers every week and turn insights into product decisions
• Use modeling, experimentation, and data to drive prioritization and iteration
• Scale internal workflows and product surfaces using AI and automation tools

Requirements

• Strong product judgment and an instinct for what users want
• Background as a software engineer or ability to work deeply with engineering teams
• Experience with payments, fintech, or in a high-bar finance role (e.g., investing, banking)
• Proven track record of delivering 0→1 products that generate measurable financial results
• Strong analytical thinking; can model impact and drive decisions with data (SQL or similar is a plus)
• Extreme ownership and urgency - ships fast, iterates constantly, and fixes broken experiences
• Bias toward outcomes - knows how to set and hit aggressive goals
• Interest in small business empowerment, with a preference for those who've built or supported business owners
• Based in San Francisco, with the ability to work in-office 3-5 days/week
• What Success Looks Like
• Payments volume and adoption grow significantly month-over-month
• Providers prefer our financial tools and use them to grow their income
• Unit economics improve meaningfully through product changes
• High NPS and reduced support load signal strong usability and product-market fit
• You identify quick wins, iterate fast, and consistently ship value
