notabene - Director of Payment Products

• Notabene Flow is live. The first version of our payment authorization product is in customers' hands — and now the real work begins. As Director of Payment Products, you'll lead what Flow becomes: defining the features, workflows, data requirements, and overall product experience that turns our early release into the go-to payment authorization layer for institutions moving stablecoins and digital assets at scale. • Notabene's platform is unified — the same infrastructure powers both Transact (our compliance product) and Flow. Engineering owns the platform. Your job is to be the expert voice for Flow's needs within that shared system: clear on the jobs to be done, rigorous in how you articulate requirements, and skilled at making the case for Flow priorities in a context where Transact's needs matter equally. You'll work directly with engineering, our Product Designer, and the GTM team — owning the why of what gets built while respecting engineering's authority over the how and when. • You'll report directly to and work closely with the CEO on Flow's strategy and market positioning. This is a high-visibility role at the heart of where Notabene is going — the person who takes it will have direct access to the company's strategic direction and a seat at the table where the most important product decisions get made. • This is an exciting opportunity to join a critical function that will shape our growth and expansion into new markets. • WITHIN A YEAR YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL IF… • Flow has active, paying customers generating consistent and growing transaction volume, with clear evidence of product-market fit in at least one payment vertical • Engineering has a clear, trusted view of Flow's feature and data requirements, and Flow priorities are well-represented and well-understood within the shared platform roadmap • Flow's messaging and value proposition are sharp enough that a business-side buyer at a bank or fintech can immediately understand why it matters to them • You've built a prioritized backlog grounded in deep customer insight that the engineering team can confidently act on within the platform's architecture • Lead the definition of Flow's features, workflows, and data requirements — from customer discovery through to prioritization and post-launch measurement • Spend significant time with existing customers, prospects, and partners to develop a deep understanding of the jobs to be done in payment authorization across different verticals • Articulate clear, well-reasoned requirements for Flow within the shared Notabene platform — making the case for Flow's priorities in a context where engineering balances Flow and Transact needs simultaneously • Work hand-in-hand with the engineering team as the owner of the why, while they own the how — giving them the customer and market context they need to make good platform decisions on Flow's behalf • Collaborate with the Product Designer to ensure Flow's user experience is clear, efficient, and appropriate for the institutional users we serve • Partner with the GTM team to develop positioning, messaging, and go-to-market plans that connect Flow's capabilities to the needs of business-side buyers • Develop and maintain deep knowledge of the stablecoin and digital payments landscape — including competitor moves, partner capabilities, and regulatory developments • Define and track the metrics that tell us whether Flow is succeeding: transaction volume, customer retention, time-to-first-value, and expansion revenue
