Product Manager, NoCode Marketplace & Merchant Operation

**We read every application. No AI screening. A real person reviews your materials.** PayJunction is seeking a Product Manager to own our NoCode platform and merchant operations portfolio. This is a dual-domain role: (1) the NCPI marketplace (NoCode Payment Integration), coordinating external development with internal engineering to deliver a multi-horizon integration platform, and (2) merchant operations, owning the merchant-facing products that merchants interact with daily (admin portal, billing, reporting, receipts, and notifications). This Product Manager brings human-centered design thinking to both domains - understanding how integrators experience the platform and how merchants experience their day-to-day operations. They serve as the voice of the external user across both domains, ensuring that what we build is not only technically sound, but genuinely useful to the people who rely on it. Why PayJunction? PayJunction is relentless and emphatic about helping others. We exist to drive the success of our partners. Specifically, the developers who connect to us, businesses who process payments through us, and all of our team members who work with us at PayJunction.
