Role Context
The Senior Product Manager - Payments Control will serve as the single owner of a strategic product responsible for validating the fees Amazon pays to payment processors, acquiring banks, card networks, and other financial partners. The product will compare transaction-level charges with contracted rates and identify errors, unexpected variances, incorrect configurations, and remittance failures.

Product decisions will directly affect financial accuracy, audit readiness, regulatory compliance, operational efficiency, and Amazon\'s ability to protect significant payment volumes across multiple emerging markets.
Key Responsibilities
* Own the end-to-end product strategy, vision, and roadmap for automated payment controllership and compliance.
* Work backwards from finance, accounting, customer, operational, and regulatory requirements when defining product priorities.
* Establish a multi-year plan for expanding automated reconciliation across processors, markets, fee types, and payment products.
* Serve as the single-threaded leader responsible for product direction, stakeholder alignment, execution, and measurable outcomes.
* Coordinate engineering, finance, accounting, legal, compliance, risk, and operations teams around a shared product plan.
* Define capabilities that validate processor and network charges against agreed contractual rate cards.
* Expand coverage from partial reconciliation toward transaction-level validation across nearly all relevant payment fees.
* Develop automated reconciliation mechanisms that reduce dependence on manual reviews and spreadsheets.
* Design automated accrual processes that improve financial accuracy and prevent unnecessary over-accrual.
* Identify rate-card drift, incorrect fee configurations, duplicate charges, missing credits, and remittance failures.
* Build preventive controls that detect payment-fee issues before they develop into material losses.
* Establish real-time governance mechanisms that surface financial variances and potential leakage.
* Develop workflows that reduce the time required to investigate and resolve payment discrepancies.
* Monitor service-level agreement compliance across processors, financial partners, and supported markets.
* Translate changing regulatory, audit, risk, and compliance requirements into clear product requirements.
* Prioritize deliverables according to financial exposure, compliance risk, customer impact, coverage, and technical feasibility.
* Work with legal and compliance teams to ensure product controls meet applicable regulatory standards.
* Partner with accounting teams to improve reconciliation, accrual, audit, and financial close processes.
* Collaborate with finance stakeholders to quantify leakage, recovery opportunities, savings, and product value.
* Work closely with engineering teams to define architecture requirements, data flows, controls, integrations, and delivery milestones.
* Evaluate trade-offs involving coverage, accuracy, implementation speed, system complexity, and operational risk.
* Define metrics covering reconciliation accuracy, processor coverage, fee-type coverage, financial impact, compliance outcomes, and resolution time.
* Develop dashboards and review mechanisms that provide leadership with clear visibility into product performance.
* Author PR-FAQs, strategy documents, business reviews, operational reviews, and executive decision papers.
* Present product strategy, risks, investment requirements, and performance results to senior leadership.
* Drive end-to-end product delivery from initial concept and requirements through development, launch, adoption, and optimization.
* Maintain strong product governance while adapting priorities to changing payment, regulatory, and business conditions.
