Role description
Type of contract: Full-time
Place of work: Hlavní město Praha, Czech Republic
As Head of Fintech Products, you will own the end-to-end product strategy, delivery and outcomes of our fintech portfolio — from a new consumer lending platform to the ongoing evolution of established B2B products used by long-term financial-services clients.
This is not a vision-only role. It’s product as a business. You will make decisions, set boundaries and drive measurable results across product, engineering and clients.
What you’ll be responsible for
Product Strategy & Portfolio Ownership
- Own product vision and roadmap across a new consumer lending platform and legacy fintech products for B2B clients
- Balance platform evolution, client needs and commercial reality
- Define clear boundaries between core platform capabilities and client-specific customisations
Client & Commercial Alignment
- Act as a senior product partner for key clients
- Work closely with Account Management and Pre-Sales on product-led proposals, translating client needs into scalable solutions
- Ensure product decisions make commercial sense (cost, margin, long-term sustainability)
Execution & Delivery Leadership
- Lead and develop Product Leads / Product Managers across portfolios
- Drive strong product–engineering alignment: clear problem statements, outcome-based backlogs, explicit trade-offs
- Establish product governance (prioritisation, dependencies, decision frameworks)
Platform & Domain Ownership
- Build strong domain understanding across: consumer lending workflows, credit, risk, underwriting and servicing, regulatory and compliance requirements
- Ensure platforms are scalable, secure, auditable and fit for regulated institutions
What success looks like (first 3–6 months)
- The new consumer lending platform has clear ownership, roadmap and predictable delivery
- Legacy products continue to evolve without becoming unmanageable
- Clients experience clearer direction and fewer surprises
- Product teams operate with clarity, accountability and commercial awareness
What we’re looking for
- 10+ years in senior product roles within fintech, banking or financial-services software
- Experience owning B2B platforms with multiple enterprise clients
- Strong understanding of consumer lending or credit domains
- Proven ability to balance client commitments, platform strategy and engineering reality
- Experience leading senior product professionals
- Fluent English — you’re comfortable leading discussions, influencing stakeholders and presenting complex topics clearly in an international environment
- Strong leadership presence and calm under pressure
- The ability to influence without relying on hierarchy
- Sound judgment and decision-making in ambiguous situations
- A pragmatic, solution-oriented mindset
- Natural ownership — you don’t wait to be asked when something needs fixing
Nice to have (not deal-breakers):
- Background in regulated environments
- Product + consulting experience
- Exposure to platform modernisation or legacy transformation programs
Join EmbedIT family and enjoy
- Motivating yearly bonus
- 5 weeks of paid vacation
- 5 days of Personal time off
- Meal allowances
- Contribution to the pension scheme or DIP - Long-Term Investment Product
- Access to premium healthcare or a monthly allowance for health activities and relaxation
- Complimentary tea and subsidized coffee
- Relax room & games room
- Possible internal growth
