Program Manager, Stablecoin and PAYO Digital Bank

About the role

This role serves as the operating backbone for the initiative, orchestrating product delivery, go-to-market execution, trust bank launch, and board-level governance into a single coherent program. The Program Manager will partner with senior leadership to translate strategy into milestones, milestones into action, and action into outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

• Program & Strategy Operations
  • Maintain the integrated plan across product, GTM, regulatory, and bank stand-up workstreams
  • Establish and run the program's governance model - steering committees, working groups, decision logs, risk registers, and reporting cadences
  • Translate strategy into milestones and milestones into weekly action across a cross-functional team
  • Drive disciplined prioritization across competing demands on a small, senior team
• Product Launch
  • Partner with Product and Engineering leadership to maintain an integrated roadmap for stablecoin and bank capabilities, including wallet functionality, issuance, custody, reserve management, and cross-border payments use cases
  • Track milestones, dependencies, and launch readiness across discovery, build, pilot, and general availability
  • Run program rituals that keep product delivery synchronized with commercial commitments and regulatory constraints
• Go-to-Market Execution
  • Drive the program plan for stablecoin GTM including segmentation, pricing, packaging, partnership pipeline, sales enablement, and launch sequencing
  • Coordinate across Marketing, Sales, Partnerships, and Product Marketing to ensure messaging, collateral, training, and commercial readiness are in place ahead of each launch
  • Maintain visibility into pipeline, pilots, and early commercial KPIs - surface what is working, what is not, and what needs leadership attention
• Bank Stand-Up
  • Own the integrated plan for PDB across the path to charter approval and opening
  • Coordinate workstreams spanning executive hiring, governance and policy buildout, technology and operations readiness, risk and compliance program design, and external advisor management
  • Ensure commercial and product plans are sequenced realistically against charter and regulatory dependencies
• Board & Executive Governance
  • Own the operating cadence and content pipeline for PDB board and committee engagement
  • Manage agendas, pre-reads, and follow-ups; partner with executive leadership to shape narrative and decisions sought
  • Track board commitments and ensure timely, high-quality close-out
  • Produce executive-grade communications for CCO, CEO, board, and partner audiences, translating technical, regulatory, and commercial complexity into clear narratives on progress, risk, and decisions needed

Required Qualifications

• 7-10 years of experience spanning consulting, project/program management and operational roles inside a company building something new, with at least 3 years managing complex cross-functional programs across product, commercial, and operational workstreams
• Strong working knowledge of program management methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, hybrid) and the judgment to apply the right approach for the work
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills - equally comfortable with a board pre-read and a one-page exec update, including experience preparing executive and board-level materials
• Proficiency with program management and collaboration tooling (Smartsheet, Jira, Confluence, MS Project, or equivalents)
• Bachelor's degree in business, engineering, finance, or a related field

Nice to have

• Experience in financial services, fintech, payments, or another regulated industry
• Exposure to digital assets, stablecoins, or cross-border payments
• Prior experience supporting board or committee operations
• PMP, PgMP, SAFe, or equivalent certification
• MBA or advanced degree in a relevant field
• Experience supporting a new business, product line, or regulated entity stand-up

Who You Are

• Structured thinker who moves fast and documents well - comfortable holding both the long arc of the program and the details of next week
• Executive presence and ability to influence without formal authority across product, commercial, and regulatory stakeholders
• Commercial instincts paired with operational rigor - you spot the real issue and track it to resolution
• Moves fluidly between strategy and execution, between a board pre-read and a sprint review
• Bias to action balanced with the discipline a regulated initiative demands
• No ego about the work - willing to do what the program needs

Why This Role

• Stablecoin is a strategic priority at Payoneer and next chapter in cross-border payments.
• The Program Manager will work directly with the Chief Commercial Officer and the broader executive team, with end-to-end visibility from product and GTM through bank stand-up and board engagement, and a meaningful seat in shaping how the program comes to market.
