This role is ideal for a strong operator—someone who excels at managing complex, established systems, ensuring their performance, and leading a team to maintain and evolve critical infrastructure.

As Senior Manager, you will lead a team of product managers focused on these areas, working cross-functionally with engineering, risk, sales, and operations to ensure the systems remain reliable, secure, and user-friendly—while also driving modernization over time.

What You’ll Do

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of product managers supporting WEX’s OTR payments platform and customer-facing experiences.

• Own the product strategy and roadmap for legacy systems, balancing the need for operational stability with modernization goals.

• Collaborate across technology, risk, operations, and business teams to prioritize enhancements, reduce technical debt, and improve overall system performance.

• Use data, customer feedback, and internal input to inform decisions and continuously improve the platform’s functionality and usability.

• Identify opportunities for efficiency, scalability, and experience improvement without disrupting core transaction performance.

• Ensure compliance with regulatory, security, and operational standards across supported platforms.

• Build alignment across stakeholders and serve as a key voice in shaping the future of OTR payment systems and digital tools.

How You’ll Lead

• Operational Stewardship: Take ownership of critical platforms, ensuring they run reliably and support day-to-day business needs.

• Team Leadership: Manage and mentor product managers, fostering clarity, accountability, and growth.

• Cross-Functional Alignment: Work closely with technology, commercial, and operational partners to align priorities and deliver value.

• Strategic Thinking: Develop a clear, phased roadmap for modernization that aligns with business goals.

• Customer-Driven Mindset: Advocate for fleet customers by improving their experience across the web and mobile platforms.

What You’ll Bring

• 8+ years of product management experience, with at least 2+ years in a people leadership role.

• Demonstrated success managing legacy platforms or core operational systems in fintech, mobility, logistics, or B2B SaaS.

• Deep understanding of payments, transaction flows, platform dependencies, and fraud prevention systems.

• Strong analytical and communication skills; able to translate technical complexity into business value.

• Experience improving systems incrementally while planning for larger modernization efforts.

• Collaborative approach with experience managing cross-functional initiatives.

• Familiarity with the OTR/trucking or transportation industry is highly preferred.

• Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree a plus.
