About the role

Product Lead responsible for owning product strategy and execution for key Column initiatives, with a heavy travel component and on-site embedding with operators to drive scale.

Responsibilities

  • Own the product strategy, roadmap and outcomes for key products
  • Find the biggest bottlenecks to scale, then design and ship the products and workflows that remove them
  • Drive decisions around “build vs. buy” strategies for new tooling and systems we need to drive automation and scale
  • Spend time on-site with operators to understand workflows firsthand and turn what you learn into product decisions
  • Own execution end to end, driving timelines, alignment and accountability on execution across the team

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience, including experience in product management at a high-growth technology company
  • An understanding of what great software and exceptional user experiences look like
  • A track record of shipping products that solved real operational or customer problems
  • A business owner’s mindset. You’re as comfortable with pricing, margins, and P&L tradeoffs as you are with specs and roadmaps
  • The ability to influence and align stakeholders with different priorities around a shared goal
  • A hyper-organized approach to execution. You’re comfortable running several workstreams across teams at once
  • Excitement about spending ~50% of your time on the road, embedded with the people and operations your products serve
  • A scrappy, roll-up-your-sleeves attitude. We thrive because we work harder, are more creative, and have zero ego when it comes to getting our hands dirty to build a business
  • Familiarity with banking or fintech is preferred but not required. An interest in becoming an expert in this space is a must
