Position Overview

As Director of Product, you will lead the evolution of FairSquare’s SMB lending ecosystem across multiple brands and platforms. You’ll define and drive strategy for one or more major growth domains that accelerate business performance, strengthen borrower trust, and create scalable value. Your focus will span the full customer lifecycle — from acquisition and activation to retention and revenue — ensuring measurable impact while safeguarding FairSquare’s competitive advantage.

You’ll partner closely with the VP of Product Development to shape how FairSquare makes product decisions : embedding impact-driven frameworks, clarifying priorities, and elevating how Product influences company strategy. This role requires systems-level thinking — understanding the logical and organizational interconnections that drive outcomes — paired with clarity, structured judgment, and calm leadership.

You’ll collaborate with Business Unit Leaders and Technology to craft and deliver initiatives as well as evolve how the company defines, prioritizes, and measures product impact across the full customer lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Planning & Portfolio Leadership

  • Lead the development of strategy and roadmap for your assigned growth domain(s), aligned with FairSquare’s product vision and long-term business objectives.
  • Define lifecycle metrics and initiatives that drive sustainable growth and customer value.
  • Partner with Technology to operationalize evaluation frameworks that ensure prioritization reflects measurable business impact and scalability.
  • Anticipate dependencies across initiatives and align stakeholders to balance near-term performance with long-term platform evolution.
  • Translate business goals into structured, data-informed product hypotheses, plans, and measurable success metrics.

Cross-Functional Leadership & Influence

  • Build alignment across executive, technical, and commercial stakeholders by articulating tradeoffs, rationale, and expected outcomes with clarity.
  • Co-create with functional leaders to establish product plans and ensure new capabilities are fully adopted and integrated into borrower and partner journeys.
  • Drive a culture of shared accountability — ensuring each initiative is grounded in customer impact and business results.
  • Foster transparency through structured planning, documentation, and communication.
  • Serve as a trusted thought partner to Business Unit and Technology leaders in determining the best bets for scalable growth.
  • Outcome Measurement & Continuous Improvement

  • Establish pre-launch success criteria and ensure every initiative begins with a clear definition of impact, aside from defining roadmaps at the epic level.
  • Lead quarterly and annual reviews to evaluate portfolio performance, ROI, adoption, and lifecycle impact.
  • Collaborate with Data and Finance to evolve how FairSquare measures product contribution to growth, retention, and efficiency.
  • Encourage a culture of learning through reflection, iteration, and data-driven decision-making.
  • Organizational Leadership

  • Model calm, rational decision-making under ambiguity — providing clarity when direction is uncertain.
  • Promote collaboration, informed judgment, and organizational agility by fostering open communication, constructive dialogue, and partnership built on trust.
  • Codify and scale the way Product leads across FairSquare — embedding structure, clarity, and continuous learning in every initiative.
  • What You Bring

  • A genuine drive to help small business owners succeed — seeing product outcomes not just as metrics, but as ways to empower real entrepreneurs and communities.
  • 8–10+ years in Product Management, with a proven record leading complex, cross-functional initiatives in fintech, SaaS, or SMB lending.
  • Strong track record of turning strategic goals into measurable outcomes that improve customer and business performance.
  • Deep experience defining and applying frameworks to structure decisions and communicate product rationale.
  • Proven ability to drive lifecycle impact — from acquisition and activation to retention and revenue.
  • Expertise in balancing borrower needs, business value, and operational feasibility in a multi-stakeholder environment.
  • Exceptional leadership and communication skills — able to influence executive levels through structured reasoning and clarity.
  • Comfortable operating in dynamic, data-informed environments; disciplined yet pragmatic.
  • Preferred

  • Experience operating within the SMB financing or marketplace ecosystem. Familiarity with technologies that enable the full product development lifecycle — including customer data systems, workflow automation, partner integrations, analytics, and digital experience platforms — is highly valued.
  • Why FairSquare?

    FairSquare is building the future of SMB finance. We combine technology, partnerships, and insight to make business funding faster, more transparent, and more personalized. Our Product team leads with structure, clarity, and measurable impact — and we’re looking for a leader who can do the same.

We have provided more than $3 billion in funding to over 50,000 customers to support their working capital and equipment financing needs.
