• Establish rigorous frameworks for evaluating AI product performance, accuracy, reliability, and customer safety before and after deployment
• Drive a culture of bold experimentation: define hypotheses, design tests, interpret results, and champion the learnings that most accelerate product-market fit

• Recruit, develop, and retain a high-caliber team of product managers and applied AI practitioners, building one of the most sought-after AI product organizations in B2B fintech

• Proven track record of building and scaling high-performing applied AI product teams in a fast-moving enterprise SaaS or fintech environment
• Fluency in FinTech data: how financial data is structured, how it flows across ERP systems, payment networks, and AR workflows, and why data quality and latency matter differently in financial contexts than in general SaaS
