The Opportunity:

We are looking for a Lead Product Manager to drive strategic product development across our FinTech data solutions. In this role, you'll lead a team of product managers to develop and execute a bold product roadmap, balancing user needs, business objectives, and regulatory considerations in a highly dynamic market.

This is a high-impact, leadership role that requires deep product strategy experience, outstanding cross-functional collaboration, and a strong grasp of FinTech, lending ecosystems, or automotive digital services. This role requires a strong blend of strategic thinking and a deep understanding of the complexities of transaction flows, regulatory requirements and the integration of risk solutions into financial products.

What You'll Do:

• Own a major suite of products and define the overall strategy, roadmap, and execution plans.
• Define and evolve the multi-year product vision and strategy by translating ambiguous business opportunities into clear product strategies; drive alignment across business, customer, and technology perspectives.
• Identify market opportunities and shape product initiatives that accelerate growth, user adoption, and revenue.
• Champion innovation by staying ahead of FinTech, lending, and automotive trends, emerging technologies, and user behavior.
• Lead, mentor, and scale a high-performing team of product managers/owners.
• Foster a culture of ownership, experimentation, data-driven decision-making, and user-first thinking.
• Establish best practices for product discovery, delivery, and lifecycle management.
• Partner closely with Engineering, Design, Marketing, Sales, Operations , Legal, and Risk/Compliance to ensure product delivery meets customer expectations and business needs.
• Collaborate with executive leadership to align product strategy with corporate objectives and represent your product area in executive-level forums, building buy-in and confidence across leadership and external partners.
• Prioritize initiatives across multiple business units or customer segments.
• Deeply understand the customer journey—whether consumer, dealer, or lender—and use insights to drive frictionless experiences.
• Lead efforts in user research, testing, and analytics to validate product decisions.
• Own and report on product KPIs and OKRs; continuously iterate to drive measurable outcomes.
• Manage complex product portfolios and balance short-term delivery with long-term strategic bets.
• Ensure compliance with Canadian financial regulations and industry standards.
• Share best practices across the PM community and contribute to the culture of innovation and ownership.

What You Bring:

• 7+ years of product management experience, including 2–3 years in a lead or managerial capacity, including ownership of complex product suites.
• Proven success in defining and scaling digital products in FinTech, AutoTech, SaaS, or lending environments.
• Strong understanding of financial products, digital lending workflows, or vehicle financing.
• Demonstrated experience leading cross-functional teams in agile environments
• Ability to balance strategy with hands-on execution, navigating complex technical and business trade-offs.
• Exceptional communication, stakeholder management, and strategic thinking skills.
• Strong data-driven decision-making

Additional Assets:

• Experience in the Canadian financial services or automotive ecosystem.
• Strong understanding of risk management principles
• Previous experience with compliance-heavy or regulated environments
• Background in building platforms and APIs
