I’m Abhijeet Kumar Pandey, a recruiter at Avanciers, Inc., and I wanted to
reach out with a potentially exciting opportunity that might align well
with your background.
We're currently hiring a Product Manager role with one of our long-standing enterprise clients, based in NYC, NY (Onsite). This position offering the chance to work on impactful projects with a highly collaborative team.
Job Title: Product Manager
Location: NYC, NY (Onsite)
Type of Hire: Contract
No Green Card on C2C
Need 10+ years senior profiles
Banking / Financial Experience
Product Management Role Requirements
1. Role Focus & Domain Expertise
The team is hiring Product Managers for a commercial/wholesale payments environment. These roles require deep functional knowledge in:
- Commercial / Wholesale Payments
- Payment rails: ACH, wires, cross‑border FX, banking rails, push‑to‑card, PayPal‑like flows
- Merchant‑facing experiences: portals for refunds, reversals, reports, tax statements, transaction performance analytics
- Internal operations tools: screens and workflows for operations, internal support, and tooling
- Scalable platform‑level payments (e.g., experience from Amazon, Walmart, Expedia, etc.)
- End‑to‑end payment lifecycle: from merchant interactions to backend reconciliation and payouts
Explicit exclusions:
- Not looking for EMV, hardware, or terminal-focused payments backgrounds
- Limited applicability for candidates strictly from checkout optimization / top‑of‑funnel consumer payments
2. Seniority & Experience Range
Preferred experience band is:
- 10 years of product management or hybrid BA/PM experience
Anything beyond that may result in:
- Over‑seniority
- Risk of dissatisfaction or attrition unless down‑leveled
3. Role Structure & Expectations
The role is described as an integrated PM/BA hybrid, requiring candidates to be:
- Hands‑on (not managerial)
- Writing PRDs, epics, and user stories directly
- Working directly with developers (not via separate BAs)
- Managing UAT cycles and supporting technical teams
- Able to own end‑to‑end delivery within two‑week Agile sprints
This is not a “feature shepherding" PM role—it is a sleeves‑rolled‑up, execution‑heavy position.
4. Communication & Stakeholder Management
Excellent communication is mandatory.
This was repeatedly emphasized as a top‑level filter.
Reasons:
- Cross‑domain coordination
- Influencing without authority
- Collaboration with multiple internal and merchant‑facing teams
Candidates with strong technical skills but weak communication are immediate rejects.
5. Culture & Working Style
The team culture is:
- Fast‑paced and execution‑oriented
- “No mediocrity”—only high performers can keep pace
- Requires proactive individuals who: ( meaning the PMs are the "business" in discussions with developers)
- Don’t wait for instructions
- Drive clarity
- Push deliverables independently
Work style:
- In‑office, 5 days per week (New York)
- Casual dress environment (jeans, sneakers acceptable)
- No traditional “banking suits” culture
- Collaborative and people‑first
6. Priority Workstreams
The most urgent hiring focus is on the Arsenal program, specifically:
- Reporting needs
- Setup flows
- Merchant-facing and internal operational tooling
These roles are needed immediately (“bodies yesterday”).
7. Additional Recruiting Guidance
What HR should prioritize:
Strong Fits
- Candidates with platform‑level, high‑scale payments experience
- PMs comfortable drafting PRDs, user stories, end‑to‑end flows
- Individuals with both product + BA skillsets
- Hands‑on contributors who thrive in high‑velocity environments
