Role Summary

We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to drive key initiatives within our fintech domain.

You’ll work closely with engineering, design, data, commercial teams, lenders, and partners to translate customer needs, business opportunities, and product performance signals into clear product direction and measurable outcomes. This is a highly visible individual contributor role with direct impact on company priorities, customer success, and the evolution of our fintech platforms.

You’ll thrive here if you enjoy solving complex problems, operating in ambiguity, connecting customer, business, technical, and data perspectives, and rallying teams around a clear product vision.

• Own the product vision, strategy, roadmap, and full lifecycle for a key product area within our fintech portfolio — from discovery through delivery and into long-term health

• Drive cross-functional execution with engineering, design, data, product marketing, sales, operations, and business teams to deliver high-impact products
• Navigate complex stakeholder environments, integrations, workflows, and business constraints while making clear product decisions, even when data is incomplete
• Clearly communicate product vision, strategy, roadmap decisions, product performance, and launch impact to executives, partners, and cross-functional teams

• Strong product fundamentals, including discovery, prioritization, story writing, acceptance criteria, roadmap planning, agile delivery, and go-to-market partnership
• Ability to operate effectively in complex systems with multiple stakeholders, integrations, customer segments, workflows, and commercial considerations
• Strong technical fluency and the ability to partner deeply with engineering teams as a trusted product counterpart
• Demonstrated capability applying AI tools across product work — research, prototyping, analysis, story writing, prioritization, or workflow acceleration
• Comfort with multi-level stakeholder management, including proactive communication with leadership, partners, and delivery teams
• A collaborative mindset, strong accountability, and a track record of making the people and teams around you better
