The Role:
We’re looking for a Director of Product Management to lead our Bank Platform organization — the foundational systems that power our banking products across consumer and commercial lines. This leader will own the strategy, roadmap, and execution of our core banking platform, spanning ledger, payments orchestration, account services, treasury, operations, compliance infrastructure, and developer-facing capabilities that enable faster product delivery across teams. This role is critical to fulfilling our ambition to build the “AWS of Financial Services” and to powering new, innovative product development across SoFi and Galileo.
This is a highly cross-functional role that partners closely with Engineering, Risk, Treasury, Finance, Compliance, and Operations to ensure our platform scales with the business — enabling new product lines, driving efficiency, and maintaining the highest levels of reliability and control.
What you'll do:
- Define, communicate and execute on the Bank Platform vision, strategy and roadmap in partnership with x-functional partners
- Drive the modernization and migration of our banking core and surround sound services, with a focus on extensibility, resilience, scalability and compliance
- Evangelize the benefits of the platform to internal product teams and develop a roadmap that onboards more users and unlocks Member, Agent and Business value
- Lead and develop a team of Platform PMs across domains like ledger, payments, treasury, money movement and core services.
- Partner with Engineering leadership to architect scalable, API-driven systems for deposits, payments, reconciliation, and financial reporting.
- Drive development of platform primitives that accelerate time-to-market for new products (checking, savings, commercial accounts, stablecoin rails, etc.).
- Collaborate with Treasury and Finance to improve liquidity management, interest calculation, and settlement efficiency.
- Partner with Risk and Compliance to embed strong control frameworks into platform design
- Define and monitor KPIs around platform reliability, scalability, cost efficiency, developer velocity, and financial accuracy.
- Build and maintain relationships with critical partners (sponsor banks, card networks, processors, regulators)
What you'll need:
- Bachelor’s degree or higher, ideally in a technical, finance, or quantitative field.
- 10+ years of Product Management experience, with at least 4 years as a people leader driving platform or infrastructure teams in banking, payments, or fintech.
- Deep understanding of core banking systems (ledgering, deposit management, money movement, reconciliation, and GL integration).
- Experience shipping platform capabilities used by multiple product lines or external partners.
- Strong grasp of payment networks (ACH, FedNow, RTP, wires, card rails) and associated risk/compliance considerations.
- Proven ability to drive alignment across executive, technical, and operational stakeholders.
- Excellent communication and storytelling skills — able to translate technical complexity into business impact.
- Comfort working in a fast-paced, regulated environment with ambiguity and evolving priorities.
- Innovation/futurist mindset, with ability to prioritize capabilities that unlock future value for internal customers
- Bonus: experience with bank sponsorship, tokenized deposits, or embedded banking.
