Director Product Management

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by 👋

Are you actively looking for a new opportunity? Or just checking the market? Well… you might just be in the right place! 

We are looking for a product leader to lead our Capital team.

About the Role

Lightspeed Capital provides a vital influx of cash for small businesses at the click of a button. These businesses are often unsupported by banks, and have a hard time getting funding. Lightspeed Capital enables them to repay as a % of their revenue, without any work from them.

Capital is a huge bet for Lightspeed as we look to provide Financial Services. We are in the early stages of that journey, and growing rapidly. We manage the full journey today, and have the opportunity to evolve it as we see fit.

We are looking for a product lead, who can lay out the strategy, and cross functionally to deliver it (with direct management of PMs).

• Deeply understand customer needs by spending time with customers, sales, and support
• Define the product strategy and roadmap for Lightspeed Capital, including new opportunities and insights
• Own decisions directly impacting the top line growth of the capital business.
• Work closely with functions across the organization on the complete business
• Operate a fast executing, user centric team that delivers on their goal
• Manage a team of PMs in delivering on this plan.
