Lead Product Manager - Fintech
Location: Remote (U.S.)
Company: Rebolt Financial Technologies
Help Us Build the Future of Payments for Community Banks
At Rebolt Financial Technologies, we’re on a mission to make sure community banks and credit unions don’t get left behind in the race toward digital transformation. Local institutions are the backbone of thriving communities and they deserve the same payment tools that big banks and fintechs use to serve business customers.
Rebolt is a modern payments platform built by and for community banks. Instead of competing with existing systems, we work with them, providing an easy integration path, a flexible API framework, and products that allow them to differentiate.
About the Role
We're looking for a Lead Product Manager who can take a payments idea from zero to one. Equal parts discovery and strategy, you’ll work with our 10 design partners and 25 owner banks to build products and experiences for their small business customers. This isn’t a glorified project management role building sprint calendars and shipping the tickets.
This is a hands-on role to start, but you’ll build a team around you as we scale. You'll work directly with our banks, engineering, design, and external partners; success is measured by insights you turn into outcomes, not the number of user stories your write or tickets you move out of backlog.
If you’re looking for a role where you can truly innovate, this role is made for a visionary that with a committed customer base to bring that to market.
What You'll Do
-
Run customer discovery, not mundane requirements gathering. Get in front of community banks and, most importantly, their Small Business Customers to figure out where the payments experience breaks for them. Develop the hypotheses and insights that create differentiated products that create real value.
-
Define the 0-to-1, not just the next increment. Turn discovery into a product thesis: what we build, why it's differentiated.
-
Own the strategy and the roadmap, not just the backlog. You decide what's next and why — engineering and design partner with you to build it.
-
Go deep on the payments layer. You'll be making calls on rail coverage (FedNow, RTP, stablecoin), ISO 20022 data handling, exception and fraud workflows, and core integration tradeoffs.
-
Work the partner ecosystem. Core banking vendors, fraud and compliance providers, stablecoin consortiums.
-
Close the loop. Track adoption and performance metrics, get back in front of customers, and iterate. Discovery doesn't stop once something ships.
What You Bring
-
7-10 years in product management for a fintech, banking technology, or payments company — with real ownership of product direction, not just delivery of someone else's spec.
-
Experience building a team and helping it scale.
-
Direct experience with payment products or rails — ACH, Fedwire, FedNow, RTP, SWIFT, or card-based push payments. You should be comfortable in a conversation about ISO 20022, straight-through processing, or exception handling without a glossary.
-
A track record of 0-to-1 work — you've defined a product from an unclear problem, not just optimized an existing one.
-
Community bank or credit union experience is a strong plus.
-
Fluency in customer discovery — you'd rather sit in on a bank's ops meeting than read a summary of one, and you know the difference between what a customer asks for and what they actually need.
-
The ability to translate between technical and non-technical audiences — bank operations staff, engineers, and executive sponsors all need to trust your read on a problem.
-
Comfort with ambiguity — you're not waiting for someone else to hand you a strategy.
What Would Set You Apart
-
Experience designing payment products specifically for small business or non-technical end users.
-
Familiarity with core banking integration patterns and vendor/regulatory constraints in financial services.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
-
Mission with meaning: Help level the playing field for local banks and credit unions.
-
Real impact: Your product decisions directly shape how the backbone of America’s small businesses will bank in the future.
-
Ownership, not overhead: We're builders, not bureaucrats — you'll own outcomes, not just execution.
-
Flexibility: Remote-first, and we trust you to do your best work wherever that is.
