Corporate Title

Vice President

Synthix is a Deutsche Bank’s Fintech Software as a Service (SaaS) startup venture redefining embedded finance and Banking as a Service (BaaS). We deliver intelligent, Application Programming Interface (API)-first software for treasury, payments, working capital, and financial data automation. Our products include multi-bank cash management, link-based payouts and collections, investment portals, and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) integrated financial tools. We operate as a fast-moving FinTech with the security, trust, and reach of a global bank.

You will lead the design and launch of digital financial platforms that unify APIs, automation, and banking into seamless client workflows. You will own strategic product areas and work cross-functionally to shape solutions that are smart, scalable, and commercially viable.

What we’ll offer you

A healthy, engaged and well-supported workforce are better equipped to do their best work and, more importantly, enjoy their lives inside and outside the workplace. That’s why we are committed to providing an environment with your development and wellbeing at its centre.

You can expect:

• Hybrid Working - we understand that employee expectations and preferences are changing. We have implemented a model that enables eligible employees to work remotely for a part of their working time and reach a working pattern that works for them.
• Competitive salary and non-contributory pension.
• 30 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, with the option to purchase additional days.
• Life Assurance and Private Healthcare for you and your family.
• A range of flexible benefits including Retail Discounts, a Bike4Work scheme and Gym benefits.
• The opportunity to support a wide ranging CSR programme + 2 days’ volunteering leave per year.

Your key responsibilities

• Own full product lifecycle: discovery, strategy, execution, launch, and iteration with continuous improvement at its core turning incomplete or ambiguous inputs into solid action plans.
• Go above and beyond to make your product successful.
• Define product specs, user flows, and API requirements for embedded financial workflows.
• Collaborate with engineering, design, and data teams to ship high-impact features.
• Partner with sales/marketing to shape positioning, pricing, and Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy. Drive monetisation through API/plugin usages, SaaS subscriptions, and ecosystem partnerships.
• Build products that embed Artificial Intelligence (AI) across workflows (invoice matching, approvals, cash flow prediction).

Your skills and experience

• Previous experience of product management in FinTech, SaaS, or platform companies with proven success building API-first or embedded financial products (ERP integrations, Bank APIs, or AI driven modern SaaS or FinTech platforms) with strong grasp of back-to-back SaaS models (subscription, usage-based, partner-driven).
• Strong technical skills, ability to gain an in-depth understanding of software systems, build robust integration with APIs, make meaningful contributions on API design, data modelling, and software architecture.
• Strong understanding of Identity and Access Management (IAM) concepts, including Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and identity governance.
• Deep understanding of Payment regulations, acquiring and embedding payments into 3rd party platforms.
• Experience delivering commercial AI-powered features with Machine Learning/data teams is a great advantage.
• Sharp product instincts and deeply passionate about where AI creates value in finance workflows (especially in data-heavy environments like treasury/invoicing/payments).

How we’ll support you

• Coaching and support from experts in your team.
• A range of flexible benefits that you can tailor to suit your needs.
• We value diversity and as an equal opportunities’ employer, we make reasonable adjustments for those with a disability such as the provision of assistive equipment if required (for example, screen readers, assistive hearing devices, adapted keyboards).
