About your role:

You will own product execution for Automated Clearing House (ACH) payments capabilities on the Finxact platform, from discovery through release and production optimization.

What you'll do:

• Own the ACH product backlog, feature priorities and release scope aligned to company goals, client needs and market demands.
• Define feature-level objectives and success metrics for ACH capabilities, including straight-through processing, exception rates, return rates and settlement timeliness.
• Develop requirements and acceptance criteria for ACH use cases, including origination, incoming processing, returns, Notifications of Change (NOCs), reversals and same-day ACH.
• Translate National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA) rule updates and regulatory changes into actionable product requirements, controls and implementation plans.
• Lead cross-functional discovery and delivery with engineering, architecture, risk, compliance, operations and client-facing teams.
• Own ACH exception and decisioning experiences, including workflows for pay and return decisions, NOC handling and return file outcomes.
• Partner with Application Programming Interface (API) and platform teams to define ACH APIs, event flows and integration patterns with internal and external systems.
• Validate product increments through scenario-based testing and user acceptance, including edge cases across returns, NOCs and settlement windows.
• Responsibilities listed are not intended to be all-inclusive and may be modified as necessary.

Experience you'll need to have:

• 6+ years of experience in product ownership, business analysis or product delivery within payments, banking, fintech or core processing environments.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience with ACH payments, including origination, posting, exceptions, returns, NOCs and settlement operations.
• 3+ years of experience managing product backlogs, writing epics, features and user stories, and defining acceptance criteria for technology delivery teams.
• 3+ years of experience applying NACHA operating rules and governance expectations to ACH processing, controls and product requirements.
• Experience collaborating with compliance and risk stakeholders on ACH controls related to Regulation E (Reg E), Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) requirements, fraud considerations and operational risk.
• Experience using operational and product metrics to prioritize enhancements, investigate defects and improve product reliability.
• Bachelor’s Degree or higher in Business, Finance, Information Technology or a related field, or equivalent combination of education, related experience and/or military experience.

Experience that would be great to have:

• Experience with Finxact ACH concepts and configuration patterns, including network ACH controls and return or NOC behaviors.
• Familiarity with API-based product ecosystems and tools such as Postman for workflow validation.
• Understanding of Originating Depository Financial Institution (ODFI) and Receiving Depository Financial Institution (RDFI) roles, Standard Entry Class (SEC) codes, prenotes, same-day ACH constraints and settlement risk considerations.
• Experience supporting go-to-market readiness through internal enablement, implementation guidance and product documentation.
