Senior Product Associate - Monetization and Settlement

Be at the heart of modernizing how businesses get priced, billed, and paid on a large-scale payment processing platform. Bring your expertise in product delivery and analytics to translate complex financial flows into clear, buildable solutions that improve accuracy and client outcomes. Join a team with strong mobility and growth opportunities while partnering closely with engineering, finance, and operations stakeholders.

As a Sr. Product Associate at JPMorgan Chase within Commercial and Investment Bank's Merchant Services unit, you will support product design and delivery for a payments monetization and settlement platform. You will translate pricing and accounting requirements into clear product documentation and executable delivery plans. You will partner with engineering teams and downstream finance and reconciliation stakeholders to improve configuration accuracy, reduce discrepancies, and strengthen funding outcomes. You will develop deep knowledge across pricing, service configuration, sub-ledger accounting outputs, and allocation rules to support end-to-end payout lifecycle capabilities.

This role focuses on the configuration and product logic that connects merchant setup to fee calculation and payout outcomes. You will help define how pricing and service configuration changes are requested, validated, tested, and released to production. You will contribute to sub-ledger posting outputs and reconciliation readiness by documenting acceptance criteria and supporting test execution with finance partners. You will also support allocation rule enhancements to reflect new merchant types, currencies, partners, and payment rails as the platform evolves.
