Chief Product Officer

About Monstro

Monstro is a governed AI platform for regulated financial institutions. We give banks and wealth managers a way to deliver trusted advice digitally — to every client, not just the top tier.

Institutions already have the relationships, data, and context to understand each client. Monstro turns that understanding into advice. It gives every client the experience of a personal advisor: bringing together their full financial picture, identifying what matters, and delivering personalized guidance across investments, tax, retirement, insurance, legal, and more.

For clients, that means clearer decisions, proactive support when life changes, and a better view of their financial lives. For institutions, it means deeper relationships, more clients served consistently, and more of each client's financial life managed in one place.

What makes this possible is how the system is built. Every recommendation reflects the institution's own views, policies, and permissions. Every output is auditable, traceable, and reversible, and client data stays under the institution's control. Generative AI shapes how advice is designed; at runtime, execution is deterministic — so every output can be explained and stood behind, not just trusted.

The work

We are building for a high-stakes industry where the work has real consequences. The challenge is to make advice more personal and more available without making it less trusted — to build AI that institutions can audit, explain, and reverse, in a domain where being wrong carries real cost. That is a hard problem, and it is the reason to be here.

You will work on technology that brings real financial advice to people who have rarely had access to it. You will be expected to think clearly, move with urgency, hold a high bar, and take responsibility for work that matters. We are an early team building something ambitious, and what you do here will shape both the product and the company.

About the Role

The Chief Product Officer role at Monstro is a rare opportunity to own a transformational, category-creating product - strategy, roadmap, design, execution, and the team that delivers it - across two products that define a new standard for how AI operates inside financial institutions.

No company has built what Monstro is building. The MVP will have launched to clients by the time this person joins, with an initial product team and systems in place. This role inherits that foundation and takes it further - enhancing the product based on roadmap priorities, client feedback, and the demands of scaling to deployment across millions of users.

The two products are a bank-branded mobile consumer experience and an institutional platform for bankers, advisors, and operators. The Chief Product Officer works closely with large institutional design partners to shape both from MVP into full deployment, defining how they connect and reinforce each other as a unified system.

This role requires judgment to set direction in genuinely new territory, the craft to hold a high bar across both products, and the leadership to grow a team that operates at Monstro's pace and standard.

Why This Role Matters

Monstro's entire identity is the strength and outcomes of its product. Our technology redefines how banking works for everyone - from the average person to the ultra-high-net-worth client.

The Chief Product Officer is at the forefront of that. This person takes a launched MVP and builds it into a product that works for every user type - from the retail banking customer receiving a financial recommendation for the first time, to the banker and advisor operating on AI-driven intelligence. The impact is real: transforming how people interact with their finances, at scale.

Internally, this role owns the product roadmap and drives cross-functional alignment across all teams to ensure Monstro delivers on its strategy and is successful as a company!
