Product Manager III - Core Integrations & Digital Banking

Who We Are

Bankjoy is a Y Combinator and Bessemer Venture Partner backed FinTech startup. We are changing the way community banks and credit unions do business, enabling them to become tech-driven and digital first. Bankjoy provides modern digital banking products including mobile banking, online banking, online account opening, loan origination, and conversational AI. Our mission is to revolutionize banking tech infrastructure by leading digital transformation at financial institutions — big and small.

The Role

We are seeking a highly technical and client-facing Product Manager III to own core banking system integrations and foundational digital banking features.

This role will serve as the primary product point of contact for clients and internal teams navigating complex integration challenges. You will be responsible for managing multiple concurrent workstreams, supporting implementations, and ensuring issues are resolved quickly and effectively.

The Product Manager III will work closely with Implementation, Tech Support, Engineering, and QA teams to drive successful integration delivery, support client launches, and maintain strong operational execution across projects.

You will be expected to take full ownership from issue identification through resolution, communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and maintain strong responsiveness to client and internal team needs.

The ideal candidate is someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, is comfortable working directly with clients, and can independently manage complex technical workflows while maintaining strong attention to detail.

What You’ll Do

Core Integrations & Technical Product Ownership

Own the delivery of core banking integrations and foundational digital banking features end-to-end.

Assist with API definitions, data mapping documentation, and integration requirements across multiple concurrent projects.

Work directly with engineering teams to clarify requirements, validate implementation details, and make technical tradeoffs.

Support testing and validation of integrations prior to client launch.

Monitor post-launch issues and trends to proactively identify root causes and drive product improvements.

Continuously build domain expertise in core banking systems, ACH, payments, and digital banking workflows.

Client Engagement & Communication

Serve as a primary client-facing product contact throughout implementations and post-go-live support.

Join client calls, lead technical discussions, and build trusted relationships with client stakeholders.

Respond quickly to client inquiries and issues while setting clear expectations on timelines and resolution paths.

Communicate complex technical concepts clearly and confidently to non-technical audiences.

Proactively surface client feedback and recurring issues to internal product and engineering teams.

Issue Triage & Cross-Functional Collaboration

Act as a first line of triage for issues raised by clients, Implementation, and Tech Support related to core integrations and digital banking workflows.

Independently investigate, analyze, and resolve issues before escalating to engineering.

Determine whether issues are configuration-related, expected behavior, data-related, or true product defects.

Provide engineers with clear reproduction steps, impact analysis, and full context when escalation is required.

Coordinate closely across Implementation, Tech Support, QA, and Operations to close the loop on all reported issues.

Backlog Management & Execution

Maintain a well-organized and prioritized JIRA backlog across multiple workstreams.

Write clear user stories, acceptance criteria, and supporting documentation.

Track delivery progress, dependencies, and follow-ups across projects.

Proactively identify risks and communicate updates to stakeholders.

Balance competing priorities across client-facing issues, integration delivery, and backlog management.

What You Bring

Must Have

5–8 years of experience in product management, product ownership, technical implementation, or a closely related role in fintech or financial services.
