Take Initiative – A bias to action – proactive vs reactive No Big Egos – Self-confidence with humility Honesty – Direct forthright communication Wicked Smart – Intellectually and emotionally self-aware Job Summary: Austin Capital Bank is looking for a Product Manager to own and drive product strategy across our growing portfolio of consumer fintech and Banking-as-a-Service products. This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role that sits at the center of everything ACB builds. You will define product vision, prioritize roadmaps, write PRDs and user stories, lead cross-functional delivery teams, and own outcomes — not just output. You will be expected to move fast, leverage AI tools to accelerate research and decision-making, and bring a proactive point of view on where the product should go before anyone asks for it. This role requires equal parts strategic rigor and hands-on execution: one day you’re writing acceptance criteria, the next you’re presenting a roadmap to the team.

Requirements

Own end-to-end product lifecycle for one or more ACB fintech products — from discovery and roadmap prioritization through delivery, launch, and post-launch performance tracking.
Define and articulate product vision and strategy grounded in market research, competitive analysis, customer needs, and regulatory constraints.
Write high-quality PRDs, user stories, and acceptance criteria that give engineering and QA a clear, unambiguous target to build and test against.
Lead KYC/KYB digital onboarding workflows and design product experiences that balance compliance requirements with customer conversion and usability.
Develop financial models, pricing structures, and revenue analyses to inform product prioritization and business case development.
Use data to drive decisions — pull and interpret behavioral analytics from platforms like Heap and Contentsquare, write SQL queries when needed, and design A/B experiments to validate hypotheses before committing resources.
Leverage AI tools proactively to accelerate competitive research, PRD drafting, user research synthesis, and experiment design — and bring new methods to the team without being asked.
Coordinate with engineering, QA, UX, operations, compliance, and marketing to drive delivery and manage releases with rigor and accountability.
Monitor product KPIs, adoption, engagement, fraud indicators, and operational health post-launch; identify issues and iterate quickly.
Represent the product to internal stakeholders, external partners, and regulators — with the confidence to defend a position and the humility to update it when the data says otherwise.
Define and maintain product roadmaps aligned to ACB’s strategic objectives, regulatory requirements, and market opportunity.
Prioritize ruthlessly across a large backlog — balancing customer value, compliance obligations, technical debt, and revenue impact.
Conduct competitive and regulatory landscape analysis to ensure ACB products stay ahead of the market and inside the lines simultaneously.
Design and interpret A/B and multivariate experiments across onboarding, engagement, and payment flows; iterate rapidly based on results.
Pull and analyze product data using SQL and behavioral analytics tools (Heap, Contentsquare, Snowflake) to form and test hypotheses independently.
Use AI tools to compress research cycles, synthesize user feedback, draft product specs faster, and model experiment outcomes — and proactively introduce new AI methods that improve team velocity.
Lead agile delivery teams — sprint planning, backlog refinement, and release coordination with engineering, QA, UX, and operations.
Train internal support and operations teams on new features before launch; maintain product documentation, and integration guides in Confluence.
Escalate and resolve product issues proactively — from fraud flags and service outages to customer support triage — before they become systemic.
Contribute to pre-development product definition for new products, including competitive landscape analysis, target customer segmentation, advance mechanics, pricing, and eligibility rules.
Collaborate cross-functionally with risk, legal, compliance, and engineering on vendor evaluation, and go-to-market sequencing.
2-5 years of experience in Product Management, with experience in fintech, consumer lending, digital banking, or a similarly regulated technology environment.
OR – if you’re a current undergraduate, master students, or early career professionals, and are a yet-to-be discovered rockstar with high proven potential (posers will be filtered out quickly) – tell us about your superpowers.
Demonstrated track record of owning and shipping consumer-facing digital products end-to-end, from discovery through post-launch iteration.
Experience writing and managing detailed PRDs, user stories, and acceptance criteria in a fast-moving agile environment.
Experience working with compliance, legal, and risk teams to navigate banking regulations as product constraints — not blockers.
Strong SQL skills — you can pull your own data, build your own queries, and not wait for an analyst to tell you what’s happening in your product.
Proficiency with behavioral analytics platforms (Heap, Contentsquare, Amplitude, or equivalent) and A/B testing frameworks.
Comfort with AI-powered PM tools and a clear bias toward using them — for research, spec writing, competitive analysis, and experiment design.
Expert ability to write clear, concise product requirements that engineering and QA can execute without repeated clarification rounds.
Demonstrated ability to build financial models, unit economics analyses, and revenue projections in support of product prioritization.
Strong working knowledge of payment rails: ACH, RTP, wire, card push (Visa Direct / Mastercard Send), and settlement mechanics.
Familiarity with Jira, Confluence, and agile delivery tooling — you know how to run a clean sprint and keep a project on track.
Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills — able to write a crisp executive summary, run a tight product review, and hold your own in a regulatory conversation.
