Program Manager, Stablecoin and PAYO Digital Bank
Location: New York/Washington DC/Miami
Position Summary
Cross-border payments are about to be rebuilt. Help us build the version that wins.
Payoneer is building a stablecoin-powered payments platform and a regulated national
trust bank, leveraging new technology to deliver the next generation of payment infrastructure for global commerce.
This role serves as the operating backbone for the initiative, orchestrating product delivery,
go-to-market execution, trust bank launch, and board-level governance into a single
coherent program. The Program Manager will partner with senior leadership to translate
strategy into milestones, milestones into action, and action into outcomes.
This is a high-visibility role for a versatile program manager who can hold complexity across
commercial, product, and regulatory workstreams. If you want a tidy lane, this is not the
role. If you want to help build something that does not yet exist in U.S. financial services,

- Coordinate across Marketing, Sales, Partnerships, and Product Marketing to ensure messaging, collateral, training, and commercial readiness are in place ahead of each launch
- Maintain visibility into pipeline, pilots, and early commercial KPIs — surface what is working, what is not, and what needs leadership attention Bank Stand-Up
- Own the integrated plan for PDB across the path to charter approval and opening

Required Qualifications
- 7–10 years of experience spanning consulting, project/program management and operational roles inside a company building something new, with at least 3 years managing complex cross-functional programs across product, commercial, and operational workstreams
- Track record of delivering programs spanning product launches, GTM execution, and operational stand-up in a fast-moving environment
• Strong working knowledge of program management methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, hybrid) and the judgment to apply the right approach for the work• Excellent written and verbal communication skills — equally comfortable with a board pre-read and a one-page exec update, including experience preparing executive and board-level materials

- Executive presence and ability to influence without formal authority across product, commercial, and regulatory stakeholders
- Commercial instincts paired with operational rigor — you spot the real issue and track it to resolution
- Moves fluidly between strategy and execution, between a board pre-read and a sprint review
- Bias to action balanced with the discipline a regulated initiative demands
- No ego about the work — willing to do what the program needs
Why This Role
- Stablecoin is a strategic priority at Payoneer and next chapter in cross-border payments.
