Director of Product Management - Payments Platform

Gen is hiring a Director of Product Management to own a fintech payments platform that processes transactions across multiple payment rails, enabling and enhancing the financial products that we offer. This is a senior product leadership role built for someone who thrives at the frontier of what's possible. Your primary work is leading complex 0→1 initiatives end-to-end: owning the roadmap, driving execution, partnering with Engineering and Design, and shipping. You are not an advisor or a strategist sitting outside the work — you are a product manager who carries full accountability for outcomes. The initiatives you'll own are technically deep, cross-functional, and high-consequence, requiring you to move comfortably from partner negotiation to product spec to launch readiness. Beyond your own portfolio, you'll also be expected to raise the bar on how the product organization works. That means finding better ways to run product — sharper meetings, faster signal on what's shipping and how it's performing, smarter use of AI throughout the product development lifecycle — doing it yourself first, and then helping spread those practices across the team. You will partner closely with Engineering, Design, Analytics, Finance, and external partners — and you will be a key thought partner on where product is going and how we get there. MoneyLion, now part of Gen, is a leading financial marketplace and consumer finance platform. We power millions of consumer financial decisions across mobile, web, and enterprise surfaces. The product organization is at the center of our next phase of growth — building new financial infrastructure, exploring new geographies, and reimagining what a consumer fintech platform can do.
