About the Position

Head of Fintech Products

As Head of Fintech Products, you will own the end-to-end product strategy, delivery and outcomes of our fintech portfolio - from a new consumer lending platform to the ongoing evolution of established B2B products used by long-term financial-services clients.

This is not a vision-only role. It’s product as a business. You will make decisions, set boundaries and drive measurable results across product, engineering and clients.

Responsibilities

Product Strategy & Portfolio Ownership

Own product vision and roadmap across a new consumer lending platform and legacy fintech products for B2B clients
Balance platform evolution, client needs and commercial reality
Define clear boundaries between core platform capabilities and client-specific customisations

Client & Commercial Alignment

Act as a senior product partner for key clients
Work closely with Account Management and Pre-Sales on product-led proposals, translating client needs into scalable solutions
Ensure product decisions make commercial sense (cost, margin, long-term sustainability)

Execution & Delivery Leadership

Lead and develop Product Leads / Product Managers across portfolios
Drive strong product–engineering alignment: clear problem statements, outcome-based backlogs, explicit trade-offs
Establish product governance (prioritisation, dependencies, decision frameworks)

Platform & Domain Ownership

Build strong domain understanding across: consumer lending workflows, credit, risk, underwriting and servicing, regulatory and compliance requirements
Ensure platforms are scalable, secure, auditable and fit for regulated institutions

What success looks like (first 3–6 months)

The new consumer lending platform has clear ownership, roadmap and predictable delivery
Legacy products continue to evolve without becoming unmanageable
Clients experience clearer direction and fewer surprises
Product teams operate with clarity, accountability and commercial awareness

Requirements

10+ years in senior product roles within fintech, banking or financial-services software
Experience owning B2B platforms with multiple enterprise clients
Strong understanding of consumer lending or credit domains
Proven ability to balance client commitments, platform strategy and engineering reality
Experience leading senior product professionals
Fluent English - you’re comfortable leading discussions, influencing stakeholders and presenting complex topics clearly in an international environment
Strong leadership presence and calm under pressure
The ability to influence without relying on hierarchy
Sound judgment and decision-making in ambiguous situations
A pragmatic, solution-oriented mindset
Natural ownership - you don’t wait to be asked when something needs fixing

Nice to Have

Background in regulated environments
Product + consulting experience
Exposure to platform modernisation or legacy transformation programs
