Director of Product, Banking
Job title:Director of Product, Banking
Reports to:VP, Product Management
Department:Treasury Solutions
Location:Remote
Grade:23
About the Role
We are looking for a Director of Product to own the Banking workstream end to end — setting the strategy, leading the roadmap, and driving execution for our banking and payments products across customer onboarding and experience, transaction processing, treasury solutions, and card issuance. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thinks like a strategist but is happy to roll up their sleeves: shaping ambiguous, complex initiatives into clear scope, writing PRDs and user stories themselves when needed, and building the team, processes, and standards that let the org scale. You will lead and mentor product managers situated across multiple regions and time zones, and act as the connective tissue between engineering, design, compliance, risk, and go-to-market.
Domain Areas You'll Own
This role spans a broad set of banking product domains. We're looking for someone with hands-on product experience across most of the following — and the appetite to go deep on the rest:
-
Customer onboarding and experience— seamless, compliant onboarding journeys and the end-to-end customer experience.
-
Transaction processing— domestic rails (ACH, RTP/FedNow, check) and cross-border payments, including multi-currency handling, all built to be compliant with appropriate risk monitoring and controls to mitigate fraud.
-
Treasury solutions— products that drive deposit growth and interest income.
-
Card issuance programs— issuing programs that generate interchange income.
-
Ledgering and reconciliation— a solid grasp of the core concepts underpinning balance integrity and financial control.
What You'll Do
-
Own banking strategy.Define and evolve the product vision, strategy, and multi-quarter roadmap across customer onboarding, transaction processing, treasury, and card issuance, tied to measurable business and customer outcomes.
-
Lead the roadmap and execution.Prioritize ruthlessly, sequence delivery across teams, and be accountable for shipping — from discovery through launch and iteration.
-
Scope complex initiatives independently.Take ambiguous, cross-functional problems and drive them to well-defined requirements and scope without waiting to be handed a brief.
-
Stay hands-on.Personally write PRDs, product specs, and user stories; dig into data, edge cases, ledger and reconciliation logic, and regulatory detail rather than delegating all of it.
-
Scale the org.Establish the product processes, rituals, and standards (discovery, prioritization, spec quality, launch reviews) that let the team grow without losing rigor.
-
Build the right team.Hire, coach, and develop product managers; raise the bar on talent and create clear growth paths.
-
Mentor globally.Guide and mentor teams across multiple regions and time zones, adapting your leadership style to work asynchronously and inclusively.
-
Partner cross-functionally.Work closely with engineering, design, data, compliance, risk, legal, and go-to-market to deliver compliant, high-quality banking experiences.
-
Manage risk and compliance.Ensure products are compliant and have appropriate risk monitoring and controls to mitigate fraud, meeting the regulatory, security, and financial-control requirements inherent to banking and payments.
-
Communicate with leadership.Translate strategy and progress into crisp updates for executives and stakeholders, and make the case for investment and trade-offs.
What You'll Bring
-
Roughly 12–18 years of relevant product management experience, including 5+ years leading and managing product teams — a guide, not a gate; we hire on demonstrated impact, not years.
-
Deep banking and/or payments domain expertise— you have shipped core banking, payments, lending, or comparable financial products at scale.
-
Direct product experience across several of our core domains— c
