Job Description
Senior Product Manager, Payments
Location: San Francisco (Rincon Hill)
Company Overview
Mission: Make high-quality early childhood education accessible to all by empowering childcare providers with tools and support while helping parents find quality learning environments.
What We're Building: A category-defining platform at the intersection of marketplace, SaaS, and public sector systems, increasingly powered by AI. Series B backed by a16z, Goldman Sachs, and First Round.
The Role
Own our payments product alongside a small, dedicated team. Our platform processes at least $3 billion in payment volume. We move money across a lot of surfaces (banking, debit cards, Stripe, SAP, partner advances, and payroll), we run our own billing platform, and we lean on third-party partners for most of our fintech capabilities, so much of this is integration, orchestration, and tracking work. There is a lot to build here. You will consolidate a system built across many legacy integrations into something clean, reliable, and fast, and you will spend a lot of time directly with customers.
What You'll Do
- Own the payments product roadmap with a dedicated payments team: banking, cards, Stripe, SAP, partner advances, payroll, and our billing platform
- Consolidate and simplify a payments platform assembled from many legacy system integrations
- Work hands-on with the fintech partners who power most of our payment capabilities, and own the integration and reconciliation/tracking layer across them
- Spend significant time with customers to understand how money actually moves for them and where it breaks
- Partner daily with engineering to build, ship, measure, and iterate
- Navigate the laws and regulations governing payments and financial services
- Own your metrics end to end, from integration reliability to customer outcomes
Who You Are
- Senior PM with a strong payments background (fintech a plus)
- Exceptionally high attention to detail; strong finance background is a plus
- Excited to be close to the build and close to customers, not managing from a distance
- Likes working on a small team and moving fast; bias toward action
- Comfortable with the regulatory landscape around payments, banking, and cards
- Uses AI tools and figures things out independently
Compensation & Benefits
- Base salary: Competitive market rate
- Equity: Significant, meaningful ownership
- Full health coverage
- Wellness stipend (gym and office)
- Travel stipend for certain circumstances

About Wonderschool
Wonderschool is an AI-powered marketplace solving the child care crisis by connecting governments, providers, parents, teachers, and nonprofits on one integrated platform. There is a nationwide shortage of child care and preschool options, and we believe one of the most effective ways to expand access is by helping teachers and caregivers start and grow successful programs—especially home-based child care businesses. For providers, Wonderschool offers comprehensive support to launch and operate high-quality programs. We assist with licensing, classroom setup, pricing strategy, website creation, enrollment support, daily operations, and more. Our platform is designed to let educators focus on what they do best: caring for and educating children. For governments, we offer AI-powered tools to help manage and expand early education ecosystems. Our technology helps states and municipalities identify child care deserts, support local providers, increase quality, and ensure families can access programs that meet their needs. By unifying data, services, and funding mechanisms, we help public agencies scale solutions effectively and equitably. We are proud to partner with leaders across sectors—from families and educators to policymakers and nonprofits—to create a future where every child has access to early learning. Wonderschool is backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Goldman Sachs, First Round Capital, Lerer Ventures, Imaginable Futures, and Long Journey Ventures.
