ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

We are seeking a Vice President, Product to lead product strategy and execution across this platform. This leader will play a critical role in defining the product vision, building scalable solutions, and translating market opportunity into a differentiated roadmap. The ideal candidate will bring a strong balance of strategic thinking, customer insight, and executional leadership within complex financial services and technology environments.

ROLE OVERVIEW

The VP, Product will own the end-to-end product lifecycle, from strategy through execution, ensuring alignment between customer needs, market trends, and business objectives. This individual will bring a strong balance of voice-of-customer insight, industry awareness, and product discipline to shape a compelling and executable product roadmap.

Reporting to the CTO of BIP Capital, this role requires a builder mindset, with experience operating in startup or high-growth environments, and the ability to navigate complexity across financial services and technology of two distinct but interdependent organizations.

This individual engages directly with executive leadership, influences strategic decisions across organizational lines, and operates as a key thought partner at the highest levels of the enterprise.

Location: Atlanta, GA (Hybrid; expected regular in-office collaboration with leadership and functional teams)
