Job Description:

The success of Bank of America Global Payments Solutions is dependent on our ability to continually evolve and differentiate the digital experience we provide to clients. CashPro is Bank of America's award-winning, industry-leading digital banking platform, providing corporate and institutional clients globally with integrated access to payments, liquidity, reporting and other treasury capabilities. CashPro Payments is at the center of that experience, enabling clients to initiate and manage payments across geographies, payment types and digital experiences while continuing to evolve alongside changing client expectations, industry standards and the global payments landscape.

We are seeking an experienced, intellectually curious and highly motivated CashPro Payments Product Manager, Vice President to help shape and deliver the next generation of digital payment capabilities. The ideal candidate combines strong product and payments knowledge with an execution mindset, global perspective and the ability to work effectively across a highly matrixed organization.

The Product Manager will take a holistic, end-to-end view of payments, understanding how capabilities move from client initiation through digital experiences and connectivity, processing, clearing, operations and servicing. The role requires someone who can operate comfortably at multiple altitudes, from getting deeply into payment flows, formats, requirements and operational processes to translating complex issues into clear product strategies and senior-level narratives.

The Product Manager will:

• Lead complex payment initiatives from strategy through execution, implementation and commercialization, maintaining accountability for progress and driving initiatives through to completion.

• Provide end-to-end product management across digital payment capabilities, balancing client needs, business priorities, market developments, risk, operational considerations and technology requirements.

• Develop strong knowledge of global payment types, digital experiences and connectivity models and understand how capabilities and changes impact the complete client and payment lifecycle.

• Maintain a 360-degree view of product delivery, anticipating dependencies and readiness requirements across Product, Technology, Sales, Implementation, Operations, Servicing, Risk, Communications and other stakeholders.

• Partner globally to define payment solutions, negotiate and document scope and requirements, identify dependencies, ask the critical questions and drive decisions needed to maintain delivery momentum.

• Lead the product response to regulatory, clearing-system, network and industry mandates, translating external change into client, digital experience, processing and operational requirements.

• Partner closely with Technology while providing the business and product context necessary to develop scalable solutions and thoughtfully challenge assumptions, requirements and proposed approaches.

• Navigate details and complexity while being able to return to high-level simplicity, translating underlying issues into clear implications, options and decision points for senior management.

• Apply a systems-thinking mindset, looking beyond an individual feature or project to understand upstream and downstream impacts across platforms, processes, clients and stakeholders.

• Proactively identify barriers, risks and unresolved dependencies, bringing the right stakeholders together and driving issues toward resolution.

• Drive operational excellence and client-experience improvements, considering not only how a capability is built, but how it will be implemented, supported, serviced, communicated and adopted.

• Develop and communicate compelling product narratives, including strategies, business cases, roadmap priorities, client communications and executive presentations.

• Represent CashPro Payments credibly with clients, Sales, senior leaders, Technology, Operations and other internal and external stakeholders, adapting communication style and level of detail to the audience.

• Monitor developments across the payments and technology landscape, including ISO 20022, real-time payments, APIs, evolving connectivity models, automation and artificial intelligence, and assess their implications for clients and the product roadmap.

• Contribute to a culture of strong risk management, intellectual curiosity, constructive challenge and accountability.

• Support the development of teammates by sharing knowledge, encouraging critical thinking and helping others work through complex product and payments challenges.
