VP of Product, Core Services

At Xplor, we believe that helping people make the most of each day is the most rewarding way to spend ours.

We give small and medium-sized businesses cloud-based, intuitive technology solutions that enable them to manage all the hassles of running and growing a business, so business owners can get back to doing what they love. With Xplor Pay, we help businesses get paid quickly and securely – without hidden fees. We built the tech ourselves, and our platform delivers secure, transparent, fast, and accurate payments.

We are unified by our purpose of helping people to succeed. So, when you become part of our team, you also become part of the personal connection that strengthens the relationship people have with Xplor products.

In this position, you can work from home 100% in the following locations: anywhere within the lower 48 US 

You’ll join Xplor Technologies as VP of Product, Core Services — a foundational leadership role focused on building and scaling the common infrastructure and internal applications that power our entire suite of products across vertical SaaS industries, including Education, Fitness & Wellbeing, Field Services, and Personal Services. 

You’ll be responsible for two major product domains: 

1. Product Utilities: The shared services used across all Xplor products — including our data layer, authentication and permissions, user management, shared navigation, and common UI frameworks. Your success here means faster time to market, higher consistency across products, and reduced redundancy across teams. 

1. Core Applications: Internal platforms like Xplor Growth (our customer acquisition engine) and Xplor Ops (our operational intelligence suite). Success in this area means increasing ARPU by either attaching more of our existing solutions to more customers or by building/buying new offerings we can upsell and cross-sell across our verticals. 

This role is ideal for an entrepreneurial, product-first leader with a track record of building platform capabilities and enabling cross-functional teams. You’ll have high ownership, shape the strategy from the ground up, and drive adoption of core services across multiple product groups and verticals. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Define, evolve, and execute the Core Services product strategy, creating leverage across all Xplor verticals through scalable, reusable infrastructure. 

• Own the product lifecycle from strategy to delivery for shared services and internal tools, balancing long-term architectural investments with near-term business needs. 

• Drive roadmap and development of Xplor Growth and Xplor Ops, partnering closely with Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Operations teams. 

• Create internal alignment on data structures, UX patterns, and service layers to reduce duplication and speed up product delivery across vertical SaaS teams. 

• Serve as a key partner to Engineering and Design leadership in setting technical direction, prioritizing high-impact initiatives, and building for scale. 

• Build, lead, and mentor a team of product managers focused on internal tools and services. 

• Influence peer product leaders across verticals to adopt platform tools and best practices. 

• Use data and insights to identify bottlenecks, guide prioritization, and measure ROI. 

• Actively communicate vision, priorities, and progress to senior stakeholders and executive leadership. 

• Foster a culture of urgency, clarity, and customer-centered decision making. 

The average base salary pay range for this position is $225,000 to $275,000. May be considered for a discretionary bonus.

• 10+ years in product management, with 4+ years leading teams or organizations. 

• Experience owning platform or shared service layers at a multi-product SaaS company. 

• Strong technical fluency — able to work closely with architects and engineers on system design decisions. 

• Demonstrated success in scaling internal platforms, driving adoption, and showing measurable impact. 

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; adept at influencing across functions. 

• Proven ability to set strategic direction and break it into actionable roadmaps. 

• Ability to balance solving technical problems with driving business outcomes. 

• Experience in vertical SaaS or embedded payments is a strong plus. 

• Operates with high agency, momentum, and a builder’s mindset.
