Product Lead (Travel Heavy)
About The Position
Column is a bank and software company built from the ground up to offer technology-forward banking solutions. We aim to simplify the banking supply chain for companies building financial technology. As a Product Lead, you will help lay the foundation for the company’s future growth, owning important products and initiatives with a focus on designing systems and tools that enable scaling. You will act as the “GM” of your product area, responsible for product strategy, requirements, and internal platform development, collaborating with senior leadership to advance the business. This role is based in our San Francisco office and requires significant travel throughout the United States, with expectations of being on the road 50%+ of the time, often embedded on-site for 2-4 week periods.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience, including experience in product management at a high-growth technology company
- An understanding of what great software and exceptional user experiences look like
- A track record of shipping products that solved real operational or customer problems
- A business owner’s mindset. You’re as comfortable with pricing, margins, and P&L tradeoffs as you are with specs and roadmaps
- The ability to influence and align stakeholders with different priorities around a shared goal.
- A hyper-organized approach to execution. You’re comfortable running several workstreams across teams at once.
- Excitement about spending ~50% of your time on the road, embedded with the people and operations your products serve.
- A scrappy, roll-up-your-sleeves attitude. We thrive because we work harder, are more creative, and have zero ego when it comes to getting our hands dirty to build a business.
- An interest in becoming an expert in the banking or fintech space is a must.
