Vice President of Product

The Vice President of Product is a senior leadership role responsible for defining and executing the product vision and strategy across One Park Financials funding platform and customer-facing experiences. Reporting to the Chief Technical Officer, the VP of Product will own the end-to-end product lifecycle — from strategy and discovery through delivery and iteration — and will lead a growing team of product managers, Scrum master, project managers and product operations professionals.

This leader will partner closely with Engineering, Sales, Operations, Marketing, Risk, and Finance to align the roadmap with company priorities, accelerate our funding-automation initiatives, and ensure OPF delivers a differentiated, data-driven product experience. As AI becomes central to how we serve small businesses, the VP of Product is also expected to lead with an AI Development Life Cycle (AIDLC) mindset — embedding AI responsibly and rigorously across the product lifecycle. The ideal candidate is equal parts strategic thinker and hands-on operator, with a proven track record of building and scaling products in fintech, lending, or a comparably regulated, high-velocity environment.
