About the Role: We are seeking a talented and motivated Senior Technical Product Manager who is best in class with a high IQ plus a high EQ. This role presents an exciting opportunity to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment within a rapidly growing team, with abundant prospects for career advancement. Sezzle is building the platform that will carry us from a BNPL provider into a full-stack financial institution. This role owns the system at the center of that: Sezzle’s banking core — the ledger, accounts and balances, and the money movement that every future Sezzle financial product will run on. You would own it end to end. Discovery, architecture and vendor decisions, requirements, build, launch, and everything after — not a slice of someone else’s roadmap, but the full product lifecycle for the platform itself. You’d work directly with Engineering, Finance, Compliance, Treasury, and Risk, with real authority over how this gets built. Ideally you’ve built something like this before. If you haven’t, but you’ve owned a ledger, a payments platform, an issuing program, or other financial infrastructure — and you’re the kind of person who learns a domain properly rather than around the edges — we want to talk to you. What matters most is that you’ve owned real infrastructure and that you’re willing to go deep on the parts you don’t know yet. What You'll Do: • Own the banking platform roadmap. Define and sequence the platform work required to support accounts, deposits, cards, and lending on a single ledger and account model. • Help drive the build-vs-buy decision. Evaluate core banking platforms and processors, run vendor diligence, model cost and time-to-market, and help leadership decide whether we extend what we have or integrate a third party. • Shape the account and ledger model. Work with Engineering and Finance on account hierarchies, sub-ledgers, chart-of-accounts mapping, posting rules, holds, interest and fee accrual, and general ledger integration. • Specify money movement. Own product requirements for transfers, ACH, card issuing and network settlement, real-time rails, and returns and reversals — including exception handling, cutoff windows, and settlement reconciliation. • Make the platform auditable. Ensure the system produces the reporting, traceability, and controls that Finance, audit, and regulators need — reconciliation breaks, balance attestation, and complete transaction history. • Partner on regulatory readiness. Work with Compliance and Legal to turn their requirements into platform capabilities: screening hooks, onboarding data, error resolution, disclosures and statements, and reporting. You don’t need to arrive fluent in US banking regulation — you do need to be someone who learns it properly. • Plan migration and cutover. If a migration is in scope, own data ma
