Job Description
Paddle is a merchant of record for digital product companies, taking over payment handling so that software sellers do not have to assemble and maintain a patchwork of payment tools. The company says it serves more than 6,000 software sellers across 245 territories.
The Staff Product Manager owns Checkout, the flagship purchase experience and the most commercially significant product surface at Paddle. The posting cites about 10 million checkout sessions each month and more than $180 million in monthly payments flowing through a network of more than 10,000 sellers. The role covers long-term strategy and a roadmap that must be defended to executives and customers, leading multi-part initiatives from end to end, and setting standards for discovery, specifications, experimentation and launch quality. It also involves running a steady programme of A/B tests, beta trials and usability research to lift conversion.
The manager is expected to dig into data independently, own metrics such as conversion, authorisation rates and revenue impact, and use product evidence to shape pricing, go-to-market, risk policy and settlement decisions. Other duties include getting senior leaders, sales heads and key customers behind the strategy, writing documents that carry decisions, overseeing launches across segments and regions, and acting as a credible technical partner to engineers. The role operates as a trio with an engineering lead and a product designer.
Candidates should have owned a high-stakes product with measurable business impact, or be a senior product manager already working beyond their title. A practical history in payments, checkout or similar consumer fintech at scale is needed, along with understanding of authorisation rates, 3-D Secure, strong customer authentication and payment provider economics. The posting expects heavy daily use of AI tools, a record of zero-to-one building in scale-up or start-up environments, and excellent English. The position does not suit a fully remote setup, because it depends on frequent face-to-face time. Benefits include unlimited holidays, four months of family leave with pay for every parent and an annual learning fund. No salary figure is given.

- Make and defend prioritisation calls across technical, commercial, compliance and UX trade-offs

- Own Checkout KPIs and use the data to shape business strategy
- Align senior stakeholders, including executives, sales and key customers
- Oversee go-to-market for Checkout launches across segments and regions
- Coach other product managers on discovery and prioritisation
Requirements
- Experience owning a high-stakes product with measurable business impact, or operating as a senior PM beyond the title
- Practical history in payments, checkout or similar consumer fintech at scale
- Understanding of authorisation rates, 3-D Secure, strong customer authentication and payment provider economics
- Experience with high-volume consumer products where small changes have large commercial effects
- Technical credibility when discussing APIs and system trade-offs with engineers
- Data-fluent and metrics-led, able to run analysis end to end
- Daily use of AI tools for research, writing, analysis and prototyping
- Experience building and shipping in scale-up or start-up settings, including zero-to-one work
- Excellent written and spoken English
