We're looking for a Senior Product Manager with deep payments experience to lending / embedded credit to lead our next generation of embedded finance capabilities at Avalara.

You'll own a product area end-to-end—from strategy to delivery and adoption - partnering with Engineering, Design, Data, GTM, and external financial partners. This is a senior IC role: you lead through clarity and outcomes.

You are equally comfortable talking auth/capture flows and reconciliation details with engineers, risk and compliance constraints with partners, and value propositions and pricing with GTM and customers.

You will report into the Principal Product Manager and work remotely in the United States.

• Experience building a roadmap, prioritizing ruthlessly, and shipping products that improved important business and customer metrics.

• Experience navigating ambiguous problem spaces, align diverse partners, and make clear, principled trade-offs.

• Comfort using AI tools in your workflow for analysis, synthesis, documentation, and brainstorming—paired with a sense for when human judgment must lead.
