Senior/Lead Product Manager

Finexio
Chicago, IL

About Finexio

Finexio is a leading innovator in the B2B payments space, pioneering "AP Payments as a Service" — an embedded payments solution that seamlessly integrates with our customers’ accounts payable and procurement software. Our mission is to eliminate manual, complex payment workflows so that finance leaders only have to decide “what” to pay — while our technology handles the “how” and the “when.”

Backed by strategic fintech investors including JP Morgan, Capital One, NBH Bank, Mendon Venture Partners, and Patriot Financial Partners, Finexio is growing rapidly, and we are building a world-class team to support our next phase of scale.

Position Overview

As Lead/Senior Product Management, you will be responsible for leading the end-to-end delivery of Finexio's product initiatives. This role blends strategic thinking , cross-functional collaboration , and execution rigor to translate customer and business needs into actionable product development plans. You will serve as the connective tissue between business stakeholders, engineering, and external partners — ensuring timely delivery, user satisfaction, and measurable business impact.

You will manage the development of detailed product requirements, user acceptance criteria, and drive the internal and external commercialization of new capabilities working with one tenured product management resource on your team to execute on all initiatives. A successful candidate will be a highly motivated product leader with strong business acumen, technical fluency, and a passion for building impactful B2B SaaS solutions.

Key Responsibilities

Planning & Execution

  • Define, implement, and manage a scalable product management framework, including scoring and prioritization models.
  • Translate business cases and customer insights into clear product roadmaps and execution timelines.
  • Partner with P&L owners, engineering, operations, and sales to ensure consistent delivery of customer value.
  • Own maintenance of company product roadmap including internal and external views.

Product Delivery

  • Lead the product development lifecycle from concept through delivery, managing scope, acceptance criteria, and release schedules.
  • Write business and technical requirement documents, including user stories, project plans, and user acceptance criteria.
  • Coordinate and drive engineering team to deliver high-quality, timely releases.
  • Monitor release readiness, UAT outcomes, and post-launch performance to drive improvements.

Stakeholder Engagement & Communication

  • Serve as the primary liaison between engineering and internal stakeholders including Sales, Operations, and Fraud Prevention.
  • Host regular roadmap reviews and cross-functional alignment meetings to ensure transparency and prioritization.
  • Create and distribute C-suite-ready materials to communicate progress against plan, goals, and KPIs.
  • Collaborate with marketing and sales teams to support product launches and customer education efforts.

Customer-Focused Development

  • Define and manage internal and external product roadmaps with input from key stakeholders and customer feedback loops.
  • Ingest, organize, and prioritize customer requests and suggestions for future roadmap alignment.
  • Ensure the voice of the customer is embedded into every stage of the product development lifecycle.
  • Build product solutions that deliver measurable outcomes — especially in security, compliance, automation, and partner/channel integrations.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or technical graduate degree highly preferred.
  • 6+ years of progressive product management experience, including leading small (1-3) product teams for enterprise SaaS platforms.
  • Proven success defining and launching B2B products with cross-functional teams.
  • Strong technical understanding of modern SaaS architecture, APIs, Agile/Scrum methodologies, and the software development lifecycle (SDLC).

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills — able to convey technical and strategic concepts to both internal and external stakeholders.
  • Data-driven mindset; comfortable using KPIs to track product health, customer value, and ROI.

Critical Success Competencies

Accountability & Execution Excellence

  • Proven track record of consistently meeting deadlines with multiple concurrent projects and competing priorities
  • Demonstrated ability to proactively escalate blockers before they impact deliverables, rather than missing commitments silently
  • Experience taking full ownership of cross-functional initiatives from inception through delivery, including difficult conversations and decisions
  • Track record of following through on written commitments from senior leadership with specific timelines

Proactive Communication & Transparency

  • Exceptional proactive communication skills — must provide regular, unprompted status updates to leadership and stakeholders
  • Strong written communication skills for creating clear guidance documents, requirements, and team direction
  • Experience communicating blockers and resource needs clearly and early, before they impact deliverables

Process Management & Organizational Excellence

  • Hands-on experience implementing unified product roadmaps and consolidating multiple tracking systems into a single source of truth
  • Proven ability to create and maintain organized documentation that the entire organization can access and understand
  • Experience managing intake processes and eliminating workflow confusion across multiple stakeholders
  • Demonstrated success maintaining sprint backlogs and ensuring engineering teams always have ready work

Team Leadership & Development

  • Experience providing clear, written guidance to direct reports with specific deliverables and timelines
  • Ability to create accountability systems that ensure team members are productive and aligned with priorities
  • Comfort with admitting knowledge gaps and seeking help when needed, while maintaining leadership credibility

What Success Looks Like

  • Timely delivery of high-impact product features that support Finexio’s revenue and operational goals.
  • Measurable improvement in internal stakeholder satisfaction and customer adoption of new features.
  • Streamlined cross-functional collaboration, resulting in fewer handoff issues between sales, onboarding, and product.
