Director of Product, Banking

Role Description

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

• 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.
• Stay hands-on.
• Scale the org.
• Build the right team.
• Mentor globally.
• Partner cross-functionally.
• Manage risk and compliance.
• Communicate with leadership.

What You'll Bring

• Roughly 12–18 years of relevant product management experience, including 5+ years leading and managing product teams.
• Deep banking and/or payments domain expertise.
• Direct product experience across several of our core domains.
• Experience delivering compliant payment products with strong risk monitoring and fraud controls.
• Familiarity with treasury products that drive deposit growth and interest income.
• Working knowledge of ledgering and reconciliation concepts.
• Proven track record setting product strategy and translating it into a roadmap.
• Demonstrated ability to independently scope and lead complex, cross-functional initiatives.
• A genuinely hands-on operator.
• Experience building and scaling product orgs.
• Strong track record mentoring and leading distributed, global teams.
• Fluency working with engineering and design on technical trade-offs.
• Excellent judgment, communication, and stakeholder-management skills at the executive level.

Nice to Have

• Hands-on experience with domestic and cross-border payment rails.
• Experience building treasury or card issuance programs for enterprise or institutional customers.
• Background building platform or API products.
• Experience with fraud, risk, and financial-crime tooling.
• Experience taking products into new markets or geographies.
• Technical background or degree in a quantitative field.

What Success Looks Like

• First 90 days: you've absorbed the banking domain, product, and team, and produced a clear point of view on strategy and the near-term roadmap.
• 6 months: the roadmap is executing predictably, spec and discovery quality have measurably improved.
• 12 months: the Banking workstream is scaling — clear processes, a stronger team, and shipped outcomes that move the business.
