What you get to do...
Lead the Enterprise Payments & PayFac Platform for GoDaddy
- Own the payments platform strategy for embedded payment facilitation across online, mobile, and in-person (POS/device) channels.
- Define and implement the vision to accelerate independent software companies (ISVs) integrations with GoDaddy as a payment facilitator — this includes partner scope for sub-merchant payment acceptance and extends to sub-merchant onboarding, KYB/KYC, sub-merchant lifecycle, payouts, reporting, and reconciliation.
- Position GoDaddy’s payments platform competitively for enterprise ISVs evaluating Stripe, Adyen, Finix, or similar providers.
Build Best-in-Class Payment Integrations for ISVs
- Design and evolve payment APIs, SDKs, and integration tools and guides that make it easy for ISVs to enable their sub-merchants to:
- Onboard their KYC/KYB and be approved to accept payments
- Accept card payments (online, mobile, POS)
- Tokenize and store payment methods for recurring payments
- Enable invoices, pay links, and in-app checkout components for embedded payments
- Support in-person payments via our POS SDK and app integration
- Improve integration speed, testing and reliability through better sandbox tools, end-to-end guides and examples, and developer tooling.
- Improve reporting and transparency to ISVs for their sub merchant activities, costs, and exceptions to increase self-serve for platform integrators.
Enable Verticalized & Omnichannel Payments
- Develop payment facilitation capabilities tailored to ISVs, particularly vertical SaaS integrators, including:
- Multi-location and multi-entity payouts reporting for larger scale ISV sub-merchant
- Improve payments capabilities, attribution and reporting to support vertical needs
- Define the vertical segment targets and the must-haves for payments to drastically improve segment winnability for desired segments. For example: L2/L3 commercial card data, specialized payment support for Fleet Cards or Healthcare, or specialized payment flows such as split funding and reserve funds.
- ISV commissions and revenue share transparency and accountability.
- Partner with Risk, Compliance, and FinOps teams to ensure accurate settlement, strong fraud controls, and regulatory compliance across Payment Facilitation flows.
Be the Voice of the Enterprise Integrator
- Work directly with enterprise ISVs to understand their acceptance, acquiring, and platform needs and translate real-world integration feedback into a clear and cogently prioritized strategy for platform investments.
- Support enterprise evaluation cycles alongside Business Development and Solutions Engineering.
Define the Enterprise Integration & Partner Platform Strategy
- Lead the strategy and roadmap for GoDaddy Commerceʼs headless commerce APIs and partner SDKs that enable external software platforms to embed payments and commerce workflows.
- Develop a clear vision for who integrates with us, why, and how — prioritizing integrations that deliver high merchant and partner value aligned to our platform core competencies.
- Build and maintain a deep understanding of partner evaluation criteria, technical architecture, and enterprise buyer needs — positioning GoDaddy Commerce competitively alongside platforms like Stripe, Adyen, and Finix.
Champion Enterprise & ISV Partner Workflows
- Serve as the voice of enterprise software partners — from technical architects to product leaders — ensuring our APIs, documentation, and certification processes reflect the needs of real integration teams.
- Map and optimize end-to-end partner workflows: onboarding → certification → go-live → reporting → revenue share → compliance.
- Translate integration complexity (devices, stores, payment endpoints, invoicing, virtual terminals, headless POS) into scalable, configurable platform solutions.
Drive Payments & Commerce Platform Capabilities
- Partner with engineering to define APIs and services for payments, orders, catalog, inventory, customers, and sales channels that support both embedded and in-person commerce.
- Build support for advanced enterprise requirements including:
- Multi-entity and multi-location configuration
- Reporting and commissions APIs
- Activity and transaction tracking
- Risk and fraud scoring hooks
- Customer authentication and tokenization flows
- Reseller administrator portal
- Collaborate with Payments, Risk, and FinOps teams to ensure accurate settlement, reporting, and reconciliation across embedded payment flows.
Influence and Collaborate with Enterprise Clients
- Meet directly with enterprise partners and resellers to understand their technical and business integration needs, gather feedback, and guide co-development pilots and close sales.
- Partner with Business Development and Solutions Engineering to support partner evaluation cycles, ensuring APIs, sandbox tools, and documentation demonstrate enterprise-grade capability and reliability.
- Translate client conversations into actionable platform requirements, balancing enterprise flexibility with platform scalability.
Deliver Hypothesis-Driven Product Discovery
- Use experimentation and partner pilots to validate API features and developer experiences before scaling.
- Measure what matters: partner integration velocity, merchant attach and retention, API usage, revenue contribution, and partner NPS.
- Continuously iterate roadmap priorities based on adoption, partner satisfaction, and ecosystem performance.
Scale and Evangelize the Partner Platform
- Collaborate with GTM and Solution Engineering to create integration blueprints, API playbooks, and sandbox environments that reduce time-to-value for new partners.
- Define certification standards and reference architectures for recurring vertical use cases.
- Share insights and findings across GoDaddy Commerce to shape our long-term platform strategy for embedded commerce and payments.
