Senior Payments & Fintech Manager

At Builder Prime, we’re revolutionizing the home improvement industry by doing more than just building software—we're giving hardworking contractors their time and freedom back. Our all-in-one business management solution is the essential platform for companies at their "level-up" moment, seamlessly integrating CRM, estimating, production management, payments, and reporting. By replacing disjointed tools with a unified data and automation foundation, we empower businesses to operate more efficiently, win more jobs, and achieve their growth goals. We look for collaborative and community-oriented team members who bring initiative and curiosity to the challenge of solving problems for our customers.

In 2023, Builder Prime raised their Series A financing from Blueprint Equity and additional investors. We recently announced our Series B in September 2025, also financed by Blueprint Equity.

This is a remote position open to candidates authorized to work in the US without visa sponsorship, who presently reside in the US. Travel will occasionally be required to the office in the greater Denver metro area. Additional travel may be required.

We're hiring our first Senior Manager, Payments to partner with our SVP of Operations in scaling Builder Prime's embedded payments and financing business and other future financial technology offerings. This is a ground-floor opportunity to help build the payments function from a strong foundation into a robust business line, shaping how we scale payments from a core platform feature into one of our most strategic revenue drivers. Reporting directly to the SVP of Operations and working in close coordination with almost all departments, including Sales, Marketing, Customer Experience, Product, and Finance teams, this is a high-visibility execution role at a fast-scaling vertical SaaS company.

This is a highly collaborative individual contributor role. This role is intentionally broad by design. We're not looking for a specialist who owns one lane; we're looking for an operator who can hold the whole function until it's ready to scale. We’re looking for someone who can speak fluently to the unit economics of payments, navigate partner relationships with confidence, and roll up their sleeves to fix a broken onboarding flow or draft a customer-facing one-pager.

Payments Operations & Merchant Experience

• Manage the end-to-end merchant onboarding experience, bridging our internal support teams and our payments partner to ensure a smooth, fast activation process.

• Act as the point of escalation for complex customer cases, identifying recurring themes and implementing root-cause fixes.

• Build and own operational automations using agentic AI and workflow tooling to reduce manual effort across onboarding and support flows. You will be expected to ship these independently, not hand them off.

• Develop clear playbooks and documentation so our implementation and support teams can confidently handle routine payments questions.

Partner Coordination & Reporting

• Manage the day-to-day operational workflows with our fintech partners, including application processing, risk escalations, and dispute resolution.

• Hold partners accountable to agreed SLAs, flag operational risks to the SVP of Operations early, and protect Builder Prime's interests.

Go-To-Market Support & Revenue Tracking

• Support the Head of CX and CX Team to drive payments adoption, sharing accountability for adoption and attachment rates and acting as the subject matter expert on customer closing calls.

• Track core payments metrics (attach rate, volume, residuals) and report progress against revenue targets.

• Assist the Product Marketing teams by serving as the payments subject matter expert on customer-facing webinars, crafting sales enablement content, and acting as the internal champion for the product.

Cross-Functional Program Management

• Act as the central project manager for new payments features and fintech offerings, ensuring seamless rollout across Product, Sales, and Support.

• Spin up and run cross-functional "tiger teams" to tackle complex operational bottlenecks, driving alignment and execution without relying on direct authority.

• Serve as the embedded payments voice in product planning cycles, bringing operational signal and customer feedback into roadmap conversations and maintaining a standing working relationship with the Product team.

• 4+ years of experience in SaaS operations, payments, fintech, or a closely related execution-focused role.

• Familiarity with payments economics: interchange, residuals, loss rates, and margin structure. Experience with embedded payments or PayFac models specifically.

• Proven process builder with a track record of taking messy or non-existent processes and building clear, scalable workflows, playbooks, and documentation from scratch.

• Experience managing day-to-day vendor or partner workflows, including tracking SLA accountability, handling support escalations, and running regular check-ins.

• You are comfortable working in spreadsheets, monitoring daily KPIs, and understanding basic unit economics to inform how you prioritize your operational work.

• You have excellent instincts for keeping complex initiatives on track. You know how to manage projects, drive alignment, and get things done across Sales, Product, and Support without relying on formal authority.

• You can easily translate technical or operational payments concepts into clear, digestible messaging for both internal teams and external customers.

• You are a highly resourceful individual contributor who thrives in the weeds. You are just as comfortable drafting a customer-facing email as you are mapping out an onboarding flow.

• Hands-on experience building and running agentic AI workflows, not just using AI tools

• Background in vertical SaaS, home services, or a blue-collar trades industry.

• Experience working at a company that scaled from Series A > B or B > C.
