Head of Product

As VP of Product, you will be one of the most critical strategic leaders at Monstro, working alongside the CEO and COO to shape the company’s direction and future. This role blends strategic leadership with hands-on execution. It is perfect for someone who can zoom out to define category-shaping strategy while rolling up their sleeves to ship high-impact features in a fast-moving startup.

You will lead the product function from the ground up, partnering with engineering, design, and business leadership to deliver AI-powered experiences for millions of users and industry-leading solutions for global financial institutions. You will take our MVP from early validation to a scalable, global product and transform an ambitious vision into reality.

This is a greenfield opportunity. Monstro’s platform is both deep and wide, with no direct competitors. It is transformational by design, combining AI, financial services, and user empowerment in a way that has never been done before. Your responsibility will be to harness that uniqueness, define how it translates into product experiences, and execute on a roadmap that redefines wealth management and personal finance for the world.

You will also be the first dedicated product leader at Monstro. In addition to executing the roadmap yourself, you will build out and lead a world-class product team over time. This role is for a true builder who thrives in ambiguity, embraces ownership, and is energized by the chance to create something unprecedented from the ground up.
