Principal Platform Product Manager

Role Description

We’re looking for a Principal Platform Product Manager to own our banking core platform, the foundation that powers all deposit and lending products. This role will set the long-term product strategy for how we build, scale, and evolve our financial products, while also partnering closely on a critical migration from our legacy core to a modern, real-time platform.

You’ll operate at the intersection of product, engineering, and the business, driving high-impact decisions in a regulated environment. This is a highly strategic, hands-on role suited for someone who thrives in complexity and brings strong product judgment to ambiguous problems.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and drive the long-term product vision and strategy for our core platform evolution, including setting priorities and defining success criteria.
• Partner closely on the migration to Finxact by making product recommendations and decisions to enable crisp execution.
• Define how legacy system behaviors translate to a modern, real-time architecture, including key tradeoffs (functional parity vs. intentional improvements).
• Act as the product owner of the banking core platform, driving decisions across accounts, transactions, balances, statements, and entitlements.
• Collaborate with another Product Manager who owns the customer experience.
• Lead cross-functional alignment across Engineering, Operations, Compliance, Risk, and Go-To-Market teams to ensure a seamless and compliant transition.
• Coordinate platform readiness across external vendors and integration partners, including payment rails, aggregators, and digital banking providers.
• Own and evolve the post-migration platform vision and roadmap, prioritizing capabilities that drive customer value, operational efficiency, and long-term scalability.
• Ensure the platform meets ongoing regulatory, compliance, and reliability standards, including uptime, auditability, and data integrity.
• Partner with internal teams to build and improve back-office tooling and workflows that support servicing, operations, and customer experience.
• Contribute to new product development and identify opportunities to leverage automation and AI across internal and customer-facing systems.
• Define the banking core strategy to enable seamless integration between the Panacea core and each new sponsor bank core as partnerships expand.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of product management experience, including ownership of complex platforms or systems.
• Strong background in fintech, banking, or lending, with experience working on or alongside banking core systems.
• Experience with Fiserv Finxact strongly preferred (or similar modern banking cores).
• Proven experience operating in regulated environments (KYC, AML, BSA, PCI, SOC, etc.).
• Demonstrated success leading large-scale, cross-functional initiatives or system migrations.
• Experience working in high-growth or ambiguous environments.
• Ability to influence executive stakeholders and contribute to strategic decision-making.

Skills & Competencies

• Strong product judgment with the ability to drive both discovery and execution.
• Systems thinker with experience navigating complex, interconnected platforms.
• Experience working in Agile environments (Scrum/Kanban); Agile or Scrum certification a plus.
• Ability to operate effectively in high-ambiguity environments.
• Proven cross-functional leadership and stakeholder alignment skills.
• Excellent communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences.
• Technical fluency and ability to partner closely with engineering teams.
• Solid understanding of regulatory and compliance considerations in financial products.
• High ownership mindset with a bias toward action and results.
• Adaptable, solutions-oriented, and comfortable with rapid iteration.
