Gun Profile
Don’t let the word “financial” fool you — this gig doesn’t require deep financial expertise. Instead, they’re looking for a background in strong functional product management with a focus on content and media, Agile product development expertise, and a lot of experience working with user interface designers. Show us that you’re a get-stuff-done person who’s very use-case oriented and keen on documentation. More than a whiteboard strategist, you have the capacity to think big and then execute. And most importantly, you have a bias toward action.
Collaboration is the name of the game with this client, and your history of forging strong relationships with IT and creative resources, along with clients and other stakeholders, will be crucial. You have significant experience managing direct reports and coordinating large project teams and can present complex issues to senior executives effectively and eloquently.

You’ll be expected to bring the wisdom, creativity, and courage to chart the course and steer the ship. You will figure out long-term B2B and B2C product strategies that expand the institution’s market reach and leadership. Before you go thinking you’ve heard this all before, let us reassure you that there is strong senior sponsorship for significant change across the whole product suite. Yes, you’ll be bucking tradition and blasting through barriers, but you’ll be doing it with the full support of top management.
