Product Manager · B2B Fintech & Order\-to\-Cash · AI\-Native 0→1 Builder · Founder @ SmoothPaycheck

## About

I build product in finance automation — the boring\-but\-critical plumbing that moves money, reconciles ledgers, and keeps a global operation running\. At Deluxe Media, I built CAPS \(Consolidated Accounts Payable System\) from 0→1 over 4\+ years — the AP layer of a broader Order\-to\-Cash vision\. It's an internal platform automating monthly multi\-currency payouts to 3,000\+ freelancers working on Disney\+, Amazon Prime, and Netflix delivery accounts\. It processes \~$2\.5M/month, is operated by \~25 finance analysts, and replaced 85% of manual workflow\. I ran the legacy→CAPS migration to 100% usage in 2 months — 6 weeks of UAT to a shippable MVP, then rollout with hypercare — and have owned the roadmap for 2\+ years since\. Adjacent wins that compounded the platform: — A duplicate payment detection API \(99% error reduction\), diagnosed via SQL sub\-ledger EDA where the root cause was upstream payee\-master inconsistencies, not the matching algorithm\. — A SAP Vendor PO integration at 99\.8% GL\-to\-billing consistency, now powering multi\-currency payouts across e\-payment rails and SAP\-routed bank transfers globally\. — Scope extension to a second scrum team on Client Billing — ownership across the full order\-to\-cash \+ order\-to\-pay loop\. Outside the day job, I build AI\-native products solo, end\-to\-end — shipping with AI is how I work daily, not a bolt\-on: — SmoothPaycheck \(smoothpaycheck\.com\): a B2C income\-stabilization tool for freelancers, launched May 2026 — built end\-to\-end, including an agentic content funnel\. A deliberate call to keep AI as a content\-production tool, not a product feature, because the value was computational\. — AtithiPay \(atithipay\.com\): a consumer fintech for foreign visitors to India, on a multi\-gateway stack \(Razorpay, Cashfree, NPCI UPI One World, Transcorp FX\)\. Pre\-launch, 2,900\+ waitlist; DPIIT incorporation in progress\. — SpecCopilot: a working AI tool that turns a one\-line idea into a full PRD — stories, acceptance criteria, metrics, and a RICE score — live via the Claude API\. Try it: vimalajit11\.github\.io/spec\-copilot Before product, I led enterprise delivery for Disney\+, Amazon, and Netflix at Deluxe — 20\+ coordinators, 25\+ markets, 100% on\-time\. That's where the pain points that became CAPS's roadmap first surfaced\. Open to: Senior PM / PM roles in B2B fintech, finance automation \(O2C, AP, R2R\), payments, or internal platforms\. Remote preferred — my 3pm–12am IST shift gives full US East Coast and strong EU overlap; open to Bengaluru/Hyderabad for the right fit\. US B1/B2 visa through 2028\. vimalajit\.com · vimal\.ajit11@gmail\.com
