SAGE GROUP PLC

Full Job Description

Own the global payment platform roadmap for both Payments In and Payments Out.
Design the consumption experience for internal product teams - clear APIs and embeddable UI components so AP, AR, Payroll, Expense, and fintech teams integrate payments without managing provider complexity.
Ruthlessly prioritise provider integrations and payment methods - evaluate which providers and methods to support based on market demand, customer footprint, and internal product needs. Make high-leverage bets; say no to edge cases.
Work with providers on roadmap alignment, SLA management, feature prioritisation, and support escalation.
Define compliance and regulatory strategy - partner with legal and compliance to navigate PSD2, Open Banking, local payment regulations, fraud/AML rules, and data residency requirements.
Drive adoption and migration of internal products from legacy payment handling to the Payments Platform.
Own the evolution of embeddable payment UI - hosted forms, embedded payment inputs, and payment method selection components that products embed into their workflows.
Build alignment across a complex stakeholder network - coordinate roadmaps with internal product teams, manage provider expectations, and work with sales and fintech on new opportunities.
A track record of owning platform or infrastructure products where customers are internal - ideally in payments, financial services, or integrations-heavy domains.
Ruthless prioritisation and focus - you make high-leverage bets and cut scope decisively.
Strong stakeholder management - you manage competing demands from AP, AR, Payroll, and fintech teams and secure alignment without direct authority.
Multi-geography and regulatory fluency - you've built products across countries with different regulations, payment rails, and vendor landscapes without fragmenting the platform.
Exceptional communication across technical and business audiences - payment orchestration, compliance implications, business impact, and adoption strategy, all in the right language.

Ability to translate platform value into commercial concepts - you drive adoption by demonstrating ROI, not by mandate.
Payments product management or fintech experience.
Experience managing 10+ third-party API integrations with trade-off decisions on vendor support and lock-in.
Experience with embeddable UI, developer experience, and API/SDK adoption.
Familiarity with event-driven architecture - webhooks, idempotency, event sourcing, eventual consistency.
Familiarity with Open Banking, embedded finance, real-time payments, or API banking trends.

Job Description Sage's Payments Platform is the trusted foundation that powers how customers move money globally. We operate two core services - Payments In (receivables collection) and Payments Out (supplier payments, payroll, disbursements) - integrating with payment providers across every major geography and method (ACH, SEPA, Wire, Card, Real-Time Payments, and more).
Please note: This is a hybrid role requiring 3 days per week in our Newcastle office

A clear, documented roadmap for both Payments In and Out with explicit prioritisation logic - which providers and methods are being invested in, sunsetting, and why.
Provider ecosystem rationalised - low-value providers sunset, key partnerships strengthened, clear SLAs and governance in place.
Internal product adoption measurable and growing - AP, AR, Payroll, and fintech teams migrating to the platform; adoption metrics and ROI tracked.
Embeddable UI components adopted across products - well-documented, easy to integrate, regularly enhanced.
Compliance and regulatory strategy documented and trusted by compliance teams.
99.95% uptime consistently achieved; engineering and ops teams aligned on SLAs.
2-3 major features or provider additions shipped that visibly unlocked new capabilities for internal products.
Generous bonuses and pension scheme: Up to 8% matched pension contribution plus 2% top-up by Sage.
25 days of paid annual leave with the option to buy up to another 5 days.
8 bank holiday days.
Paid 5 days yearly to volunteer through our Sage Foundation.
50% income protection.
Holiday buy + sell.
Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage.
Work away scheme for up to 10 weeks a year.
Ongoing training and professional development.
Hybrid working.
