About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own a portfolio of net-new product initiatives end-to-end — from problem definition and roadmap through execution, launch, and iteration. You carry the product, not just the strategy.
Drive 0→1 product development on complex, cross-functional initiatives: write the specs, align the teams, make the tradeoffs, and ship.
Operate fluently in fintech's technical complexity: payments infrastructure, financial rails, compliance considerations, and the operational nuance of building in regulated environments.
Interface directly with external partners — financial institutions, fintech infrastructure providers, distribution partners — from first conversation through product integration and launch.
Define product vision for your initiatives, grounding ambitious thinking in technical feasibility, user needs, and business impact.
Define success metrics across your portfolio, instrument them, and drive accountability through data and experimentation.

Requirements

What you’ll need

A strong product management track record — you have shipped complex products in technically demanding environments, ideally in financial products, payments, or adjacent infrastructure-heavy domains.
Someone who is energized by owning a problem fully: the roadmap, the execution, the partner relationships, and the results.
Deep comfort with technical complexity — you don't need to write the code, but you need to understand the architecture, ask the right questions, and earn the respect of strong engineers.
Experience working with external partners and translating commercial relationships into concrete product requirements and execution plans.
Strong AI product sensibility — you understand how to build AI-powered systems, not just use them, and you're actively thinking about where AI reshapes fintech's value stack.
Exceptional written and verbal communication; you can make a complicated idea land simply, and a simple idea feel consequential.
Low ego, high ownership. This role requires someone who gets things done without needing the credit — and who can lead without direct authority as often as with it.
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Business, Engineering, Economics, Computer Science, or a related field; MBA or advanced technical degree a plus.
Experience: 12+ years of product management experience, including 4+ years leading senior-level initiatives or managing PMs at high-growth fintech, marketplace, or large-scale consumer technology companies.
