Director, Product Management - A2A & Money Movement

As Director of Product Management, A2A & Money Movement, you own the strategy, roadmap, and business outcomes for NMI's Account-to-Account (A2A) bank payment capabilities. This is a player-coach role. You will set direction, lead a small but impactful team of PMs and Designers, and stay deeply hands-on—writing requirements, joining customer calls, negotiating with partners, and making the hard product calls when needed.

About the Team The A2A Money Movement team is building one of NMI's highest-growth product areas. As real-time payment rails mature—FedNow, RTP, ACH, open banking, push-to-card—our partners are demanding bank-direct payment options that reduce interchange costs, accelerate settlement, and unlock entirely new merchant use cases: disbursements, earned wage access, insurance payouts, B2B collections, marketplaces, escrow holding, and more. This A2A team was established through NMI's acquisition of Dwolla, a leading ACH and real-time payments platform. You will inherit a strong foundation, live product, existing rails and relationships, and a seasoned team to build upon and scale within NMI's broader partner ecosystem.
