Do you believe that creators should have the ability to get paid for the value they give to their fans?

We do, which is why we're building Patreon, a platform that powers membership services for creators with established followings. Patreon strives to provide creators with insight, education, and tools that make it possible to retain creative control while running their creative business, so creators can focus on creating and energizing their fanbases. Our user base has doubled in the last year alone, and we have paid over $1 billion directly to creators on our platform. In order to support this level of growth, Patreon is looking for a Senior Product Manager for Payments.

• Build and deliver the vision, strategy and product roadmap for one of the most critical pieces of Patreon’s infrastructure: our payments, billing and fraud management product.

• Strong understanding of the billing and payments ecosystem and provider stack. Have operated payments at scale. 
• Strong understanding of fraud and fraud management strategies
• Recurring Revenue experience (Subscription billing) 
• Deep customer centricity
• A track record of revenue growth. 
• Inspiring and motivating - Ability to tell a story for the problems you’re solving and the vision you want to realize; balanced with the details
• Agility & Flexibility - we’re a dynamic, high growth company in a new and expanding market; we need people who are able to think on their feet and adapt to changing circumstances
• Ownership - the desire to be accountable to metric-moving outcomes
• Exceptional communication skills & leadership presence

Projects you may work on:
