  • Develop a deep understanding of our financial product stack from a user, technical, operations, business and design perspective; our leaders are hands-on and love to jump into the weeds to help their teams directly
  • Lead the product development with engineering, product marketing, UX research, and product design teams to build the best Financial Services products in the market
  • Participate in budget management throughout the year and the annual budget process
  • Responsible for gathering feedback and communicating ongoing developments of the products you own up, down and across the company
  • Evaluate qualitative and quantitative data related to the product experience to identify strategies, trends, and opportunities
  • Engage with third party banking and technology partners to coordinate plans and roadmaps that will support continued product innovation

  • 7+ years of experience working with software products
  • 3+ years of experience in a leadership role directly managing a team of 3+ product managers (e.g. Lead PM, GPM, Director, Head, etc)
  • Prior start-up or product experience, systems or engineering background
  • Experience with digital technologies, financial products, e-commerce, payments, or subscription businesses
  • Take ownership over your work and outcomes with a passion for building world-class products and teams; ideally including experience at a scale of 100k+ users
  • Have a deep desire to learn and improve by seeking, accepting and acting on productive feedback
  • Experience working within financial technology companies or banking is an asset
