Senior Product Manager

About the Role

Coupang is disrupting the retail experience by building world-class technology that

serves millions of customers and sellers every day. The Finance Platform & Accounting

Engineering (FPE) team builds the backbone of Coupang’s enterprise finance

infrastructure—processing millions of transactions daily, driving high-scale ledger

automation, and empowering internal accounting and operational teams with accurate,

real-time financial data.

As a Senior Product Manager in FPE, you will own the end-to-end product strategy and

execution for Coupang’s internal finance and accounting platforms. You will bridge

complex financial domain logic with scalable distributed systems, working backwards

from internal finance, accounting, tax, and audit stakeholders to build automated, highly

reliable, and compliant platform products.

Key Responsibilities

• Define Strategy & Roadmap: Build product vision, strategy, and multi-year

roadmap for Coupang's core finance and accounting platform products, aligning

technical architecture with business growth and regulatory requirements.

and technical requirements gathering (PRDs) through design, build, deployment,

and post-launch optimization alongside dedicated engineering, data science, and

accounting operational teams.

• Accounting & Operations Partnership: Partner directly with Coupang’s

Controllership, Accounting, Tax, Treasury, and Internal Audit teams to deeply

understand their workflows, automate manual month-end processes, streamline

• Backlog & Execution Management: Author granular user stories, technical

specifications, and clear acceptance criteria; maintain a well-prioritized backlog

in an agile framework to ensure high-velocity, defect-free delivery.

• Data Integrity & Automation: Establish product metrics and key performance

indicators (KPIs) focused on data accuracy, reconciliation speed, automated

ledger entry rates, and system processing latency.

• Stakeholder Communication & Leadership: Present product updates,

architecture decisions, and strategic trade-offs to senior finance and technology

leadership, building alignment across business units.

• Coupang Leadership Principles: Embody a customer-first (and internal user-

first) mindset, obsessing over operational efficiency, operational rigor, and zero-

defect financial reporting.
