Mgr Product Management

Job Purpose

ACI Speedpay moves tens of billions of dollars a year for thousands of billers - and nearly every one of those integrations happens through the platform this role owns.

The Group Product Manager, Platform & API leads product strategy and execution for ACI Speedpay's API and developer experience platform: the interfaces, SDKs, and integration surface that let billers and internal teams build on our biller payments infrastructure quickly and confidently.

This leader manages a team of Product Managers aligned to platform sub-domains, and partners closely with the Director of Platform Product Management and Engineering leadership to ensure the platform scales with the business

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Platform Strategy & Vision



* Define and own the API / SKD and developer experience product vision and roadmap - near-term execution and 2- 3 year strategic direction - aligned to the broader platform strategy



* Translate platform consolidation and simplification priorities into a concrete API and integration roadmap



* Establish clear ownership boundaries for the sub-domains within the platform

Platform Portfolio Management



* Own the end-to-end lifecycle of API / developer experience products - discovery, roadmap, delivery, adoption, and retirement



* Define and track platform success metrics: time-to-first-successful-call, integration time, API adoption/reuse, developer NPS, reliability/incident rate



* Prioritize investment across new capability development and technical debt / consolidation, backed by data

Organizational Leadership



* Lead, coach, and grow a team of Product Managers aligned to platform sub-domains



* Instill a discovery-first, hypothesis-driven approach to product decisions across the team



* Hold the team accountable for outcomes, not output

Cross-Functional Alignment



* Partner with Engineering, Architecture, Security/Risk, and consuming product teams to drive platform adoption and standardization



* Represent platform investment tradeoffs and sequencing to senior stakeholders with data-backed recommendations



* Act as the escalation point when platform priorities conflict across consuming teams

Operating Principles



* Builder, not broker: understands technical tradeoffs well enough to have the conversation directly with Engineering, not through a proxy



* Discovery over assumption: pain points are found by observing how people actually work , not only by what they ask for



* Bias to action: moves on sufficient signal, doesn't wait for certainty



* Outcome-driven, not output-driven
