About Lead Bank
Lead is a banking infrastructure platform trusted by the most innovative companies to power complex financial products. We enable fintechs to offer compliant, programmable services like payments, lending, and digital assets at scale. Banking has moved beyond traditional institutions and is now embedded directly into everyday experiences, meaning companies need modern infrastructure that is safe, secure, and operationally sound.
Today, Lead is one of the only API-first, developer-focused partner banks with the financial, regulatory, and legal expertise required to help fintechs succeed. We operate offices in San Francisco, Sunnyvale, and New York City, and an FDIC-insured bank in Kansas City.
Product Team at Lead
Lead’s Product team identifies partner needs, defines strategy, and works closely with Engineering and Design to bring products to life, guiding execution from concept through launch. But building financial infrastructure isn't just about shipping features. This team is tasked with transforming the most complex banking systems and regulatory requirements into intuitive products that developers love to build with. To help fintechs launch, grow, and innovate with confidence, the Product team must be driven by a singular goal: creating elegant solutions to difficult problems. To that end, success on this team requires genuine curiosity, exceptional communication, and thoughtful collaboration.
Role Description:
We are looking for a seasoned product leader to support the development of our Banking as a Service platform. The services that you build will create the pathway for our clients to deliver innovative financial products relating to deposits, credit and lending, issuing and accepting credit card and/or debit card transactions, and more.
An ideal leader will be highly analytical and use “first principles thinking” when understanding a new domain. We are looking for someone with a user-first mindset to build a next-generation platform from the ground up. This is a senior individual contributor role, with success defined by product leadership, end-to-end ownership, and strong cross-functional influence.
In this role you will:
- Be passionate about changing the banking system to meet the needs of a modern digital economy
- Break down ambiguous problems, ask the right questions when gathering data across cross-functional groups, and use a structured (first principles approach) to unblock a decision to help create a path forward
- Develop and maintain a prioritized product roadmap with well defined product requirements and business justifications
- Maintain knowledge of the technical and operational elements of your product which should inform decision making
