Job Description

About the Company

A fast-growing fintech company is looking for VP of Product Management to own end-to-end product outcomes  — from strategy and roadmap through technical execution and measurable business impact.

Mission

Build a clear, scalable, and execution-driven product organization that:

• Owns and drives the company’s North Star toward a long-term AUM target
• Leads product and monetization strategy aligned with revenue and profitability goals
• Strengthens product and engineering capabilities
• Enables growth without creating long-term product debt

This is a founder-level product leadership role, not a senior PM or project management role.

Key Responsibilities

1. Product Ownership & Strategy

• Own product vision, strategy, and roadmap
• Translate company goals into structured product initiatives and sequencing
• Make decisive prioritization and trade-off decisions
• Define customer journeys and partner workflows
• Act as final decision-maker on product scope

2. Monetization & Growth Enablement

• Own product-led monetization strategy (pricing inputs, packaging structure, take-rate economics, unit economics levers)
• Partner closely with CEO to ensure commercial deals are scalable and margin-healthy
• Build structured feedback loops: revenue → product → retention → margin
• Define and track core metrics (activation, usage, retention, cost-to-serve, gross profit contribution)

3. Product Execution

• Lead product development execution and delivery quality
• Ensure requirements are structured, clear, and actionable
• Establish disciplined product delivery practices
• Collaborate closely with Customer Success to optimize onboarding and servicing

4. Technical Fluency

• Ensure product decisions are technically feasible and scalable
• Maintain high-level understanding of architecture, APIs, and integrations
• Partner with CEO and Engineering Lead on major technical trade-offs
• Help shape engineering cadence (sprints, QA, releases) without micromanaging

Key Qualifications

• Proven product leadership in complex environments (fintech, infrastructure, B2B SaaS, regulated industries, or partner-led platforms)
• 7–10 years of experience across engineering, product management, or growth, with at least 3 years in a leadership role
• Experience building API-based products, integrations, multi-stakeholder workflows, and operationally constrained systems
• A strong track record of driving measurable business outcomes (growth, activation, retention, margins) — not just feature delivery
• Strong prioritization judgment and the ability to say “no” to protect long-term system health
• Clear and convincing communication skills across leadership, engineering, partners, and customers
• High ownership mindset, courage to speak up, and humility to receive feedback

Preferred (Nice to Have)

• Experience with lending products and basic risk management concepts
• Exposure to compliance and regulatory constraints shaping product design
• Experience hiring and scaling product teams in early-stage environments

Perks

• Competitive compensation (cash + equity component)
• Private insurance and statutory benefits
• Direct partnership with CEO and influence on company direction
• Opportunity to build in a complex, regulated, high-impact fintech environment
• Flexible hybrid working arrangement
• High autonomy and authority in product and roadmap decisions
