SVP, Product Management, Digital Banking

ABOUT NYMBUS

Nymbus (https://nymbus.com/) is not just a leader in fintech; we are a community of innovators passionate about reimagining banking. Our modern core platform and cloud based technology serve as the backbone for financial institutions eager to modernize and excel.

Nymbus is building the next generation of fintech platforms, and the SVP, Product Management role is among the most consequential leadership roles in delivering that vision. This role owns the Digital Banking domain: the product surface that defines how end users and businesses interact with their financial institution through digital channels.

WORK ENVIRONMENT:

We are a remote first company, with occasional travel required for team collaboration or client engagement.

POSITION SUMMARY:

The SVP, Product Management, Digital Banking role is the senior product leader responsible for the strategic direction, squad output, and commercial outcomes of the Digital Banking domain at Nymbus.

You lead multiple squads that build digital banking experiences — from retail and commercial account management to digital account opening, onboarding, self-service, and cross-channel consistency. You manage Builders directly, collaborate daily with Architects and Shippers assigned to your domain, and are accountable for everything your domain ships.

This is not a traditional product management role. You operate with four capabilities simultaneously: strategic product leadership, people leadership of Builders, domain subject matter expertise, and AI-first execution. You are expected to be a hands-on SME in digital banking systems — someone who has designed, built, or deeply operated digital banking platforms and can guide your teams through the complexity of real bank workflows.

You should be equally comfortable discussing market strategy with an executive team, walking through an application funnel with a client, diagnosing friction in an onboarding workflow, and working with product and engineering teams to determine what needs to change.

THE OPERATING MODEL

You operate within Nymbus' AI-native solution operating model:

SVP, Product Management, Digital Banking (This Role): Owns the domain's strategic direction, manages Builders, drives commercial outcomes, and ensures squad output meets quality and velocity standards. You are the most senior product voice in your domain.

Builders (Your Direct Reports): Own product intent, specification, and implementation within each squad. You hire, develop, and performance-manage Builders. You set their priorities, remove their blockers, and ensure they operate at the AI-first standard Nymbus requires.

Architects (Collaboration Partners): Report through the Architecture organization but collaborate with you daily. They own system design, technical integrity, and cross-squad consistency within your domain. You coordinate with them on data models, API contracts, and platform integration.

Shippers (Collaboration Partners): Report through the Product Operations Spine but collaborate with you daily. They own delivery quality, release management, and operational readiness. You coordinate with them on acceptance criteria, deployment cadence, and production stability.

YOUR DOMAIN: DIGITAL BANKING

The Digital Banking domain encompasses the product surfaces through which end users and businesses interact with their financial institution digitally. Current and planned pods include:

Digital Base / Retail: Core retail digital banking experience — account management, transaction views, transfers, bill pay, alerts, profile management, and mobile-first UX patterns.

Digital Commercial: Commercial banking digital experience — multi-user access, entitlements, ACH/wire origination, account analysis, positive pay, and complex approval workflows.

Deposit Origination (shared with Origination domain): Digital account opening flows — consumer and business deposits, identity verification, KYC/CIP orchestration, funding, and stateful onboarding workflows.
