PlayOn is looking for a Senior Product Manager, Payments to own the payments delivery roadmap for one of the largest digital ticketing platforms in high school athletics.
This role sits at the intersection of financial technology, school-facing product, and internal operations tooling. You'll own a broad and complex roadmap spanning financial reporting, payout operations, refunds and disputes, tax compliance, and the rollout of GoFan's Stripe Connect / PFaaS model — directly shaping how 10,000+ schools, districts, and state associations receive funds, reconcile revenue, and manage their financial relationships with GoFan.
You'll partner closely with Engineering, Finance, Customer Success, and school-facing stakeholders to ship product that is accurate, compliant, and trusted. The work spans external customer experiences (bookkeepers, athletic directors, fans) and internal operations tooling (Finance, Accounting, Support) — both sides of the platform need to work flawlessly for payments to be trustworthy.
Critically, we expect this PM to be AI-forward: using AI to accelerate spec writing, data analysis, and prototyping, and to process customer and support feedback at scale so that delivery moves faster from insight to ship.
Ownership over Participation – You take responsibility for delivering outcomes against real milestones: annotation review in production within six months, a fan-facing AI feature live within nine.
Team over Stars – You partner across engineering, data, product, and external collaborators to make AI systems usable by the whole company and delightful for fans.
Growth over Comfort – You embrace rapid experimentation, AI-forward development, and the ambiguity of building new product categories where no established playbook exists.
Fairness over Popularity – You evaluate tools, patterns, and approaches objectively, choosing what’s right for the platform over what’s fashionable.
PlayOn is where high school sports come to life. Through GoFan, NFHS Network, and MaxPreps, we give every fan a front-row seat to the moments that matter most: the buzzer-beaters, the comeback wins, the senior nights, the rivalries that define a town.
We built our technology for the people who live and breathe high school athletics — the parents who never miss a game, the alumni still cheering from across the country, the communities that show up week after week. From buying tickets to watching a live stream to reliving the highlights, we make it simple to stay close to the sports and the athletes you love most.
Backed by KKR, we build the technology that powers high school athletics from the inside out: Schools trust us to handle ticketing, streaming, fundraising, concessions, merchandise, and more so the people running programs can stay focused on the athletes and fans we all serve together.
We're a growth-stage company on a mission to make high school sports more accessible, more memorable, and more connected than ever before.
When being there means everything, we make sure you never miss a moment.
