As the Founding Product Manager, you will define the product roadmap, launch new offerings, and establish best practices for product development while collaborating closely with engineering and design teams.

Responsibilities:

• Own the roadmap for our flagship account opening product
• Ship fast—hand off your first spec to engineering within 7 days
• Work closely with design and engineering to build secure, reliable features
• Use data, feedback, and market insights to inform decisions
• Partner directly with community banks and credit unions to understand their biggest pain points
• Translate complex workflows into intuitive, scalable products
• Define success metrics and iterate quickly based on learnings
• Own the full product lifecycle—from discovery through launch and adoption
• Establish product development best practices from the ground up
• Drive a fast, iterative build-measure-learn loop in partnership with engineering
• Ensure alignment across sales, marketing, ops, and GTM efforts
• Help shape the product org and culture as we scale

Requirements:

• 5–7+ years of product management experience, ideally in fintech
• Strong understanding of financial services, particularly banking, lending, or payments
• End-to-end ownership: You've taken products from 0 → 1 and scaled them
• Comfortable navigating the full lifecycle: discovery, launch, iteration, and scale
• Experience across consumer and/or B2B: You've built and shipped in either consumer-facing and B2B products, especially those with complex workflows
• Customer-first & analytical: You think deeply about user journeys and can distill insights from customer interviews, data, and intuition
• You use metrics to drive product decisions and experimentation
• Startup mindset: You thrive in ambiguity, love high ownership, and bias toward action
• You've shipped in high-growth, early-stage environments
• Exposure to AI-powered automation, decisioning, or workflow tooling
• Familiarity with core banking systems, credit unions, and the broader US banking landscape
