The Principal Product Manager - Digital Banking Integration is a senior individual-contributor product leader responsible for the integration of digital banking with the rest of Alkami's product portfolio - both bringing digital banking capabilities into other products and bringing other products into the digital banking experience. Digital banking is Alkami's largest and most complex product and the anchor of the Digital Sales & Service Platform (DSSP) vision, which weaves Alkami's product lines together into differentiated, value-creating experiences for our clients.
This role does not own the digital banking product itself. Instead, it owns the connective tissue between digital banking and the broader ecosystem - the marketing solution, the origination system, the fraud prevention system, and other products in the portfolio. The Principal PM defines and drives the direction for these integrations in both directions and ensures they are delivered with quality and measurable client value.
This is a high-impact, senior IC role for someone who leads through influence rather than direct reports. The Principal PM leverages the resources on their team to execute integration projects and builds strong relationships across the many teams that own digital banking and the other products in scope, in order to deliver cross-team initiatives end to end.
Critically, this person thinks beyond any single product. They surface their own ideas for creating new value through deeper, bidirectional integration across Alkami's ecosystem, identify where those integrations unlock differentiated client value, and champion that vision across the organization. This position reports to the Senior Manager, Product Management - DSSP.

- Evaluate trade-offs and dependencies across products to ensure integrations create durable client value rather than added complexity.

- Decision-Making & Prioritization - Comfortable making and defending trade-off decisions across competing priorities based on data and strategic alignment.
- Communication & Influence - Strong ability to articulate product direction, strategy, and roadmap to stakeholders, including executive leadership.
Success Metrics- Successful, on-track delivery of the digital banking integration roadmap against strategic objectives.
