Key Responsibilities

We're looking for a Principle Product Manager - Checkouts to take full ownership of TrafiCheckout, Trafilea's proprietary headless checkout, and treat it as the company's single most important revenue engine. The job is to lift checkout conversion rate and post-checkout monetization through constant UX experimentation and data-driven iteration.

Alongside that sits the payments infrastructure layer: holding authorization rates high, cutting chargebacks and declines, and growing our multi-PSP strategy as the business expands internationally.

The seat sits where growth, product, engineering, finance, and customer care meet. Success gets measured in revenue recovered, conversion rate lifted, and offers accepted.

* Own the TrafiCheckout funnel end to end across every brand (Shapermint, Shaperbox, Truekind), from cart entry to order confirmation, on desktop and mobile.

* Build, rank, and run a continuous A/B testing roadmap on the checkout, with a floor of 2 experiments live at any moment, using VWO or an equivalent tool.

* Break down checkout drop-off by device, traffic source, payment method, and error type; turn those findings into testable hypotheses and ship changes with measurable CVR impact.

* Tune the checkout UX for mobile-first use: field sequencing, keyboard behavior, autofill, CTA placement, and payment wallet integration (Apple Pay, Google Pay).

* Design and keep improving error states, payment failure copy, and retry prompts so more transactions get recovered right at the moment of decline.

* Run and evolve the weekly Checkout Health Dashboard: CVR by device/channel/country, post-checkout offer take rates, authorization rates, decline breakdown, and payment recovery rate.

Requirements

* 5+ years in product management, with direct ownership of a consumer-facing checkout funnel in DTC, e-commerce, or high-volume fintech

* A record of raising checkout conversion rate through structured A/B testing, with specific tests you designed, ran, and analyzed, and the CVR or revenue numbers to go with them

* Hands-on Stripe experience at product ownership level: authorization rate optimization, retry logic, 3DS configuration, Radar fraud rules, and dashboard-level diagnostics

* Experience running or integrating several PSPs and digital wallets at once (PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay), covering UX placement, conversion measurement, and decline management

* Ownership of post-checkout monetization architecture: upsell, downsell, and fallback offer flows, subscription offers at checkout, and payment recovery or dunning sequences with measured revenue impact

* Skill in diagnosing checkout drop-off by device, traffic source, payment method, and error type, separating UX friction from payment infrastructure problems using session recordings, funnel analytics, and heatmaps

* Familiarity with fraud prevention tools, chargeback management processes, and subscription billing compliance basics, including FTC negative option and ROSCA requirements

* Strong cross-functional influence: getting Engineering, Finance, Legal, and Customer Care aligned on checkout decisions, and presenting performance results and strategic roadmap straight to the CMO or C-level stakeholders
