Why This Role Matters
We are seeking a Senior Technical Product Manager to lead cross-platform initiatives that power multiple products across our ecosystem, including our banking platform and shared technology services. This role is responsible for driving foundational platform capabilities and shared technical services while also serving as one of our AI-native product leaders — helping define how AI accelerates both the products we build and how we build them. The ideal candidate combines strong technical depth, systems thinking, and a builder’s mindset with the ability to operate across teams and influence engineering and product direction at scale.

Approximately 30–40% of this role will focus on experimentation and delivery using emerging AI capabilities, including piloting new AI-powered product experiences and helping evolve an AI-focused software development lifecycle (SDLC).

How We’ll Measure Your Success
Delivering a clear, actionable technical roadmap that supports product strategy, improves platform scalability, and reduces one-off custom work.
Establishing a repeatable third-party development program where partners can build and deliver integrations efficiently, consistently, and with minimal engineering rework.
Elevating the technical business analysis function by improving data-mapping quality, documentation standards, tooling, and throughput, resulting in faster and more reliable integration delivery.
Accelerating complex sales cycles through technical expertise, reusable solution artifacts, and improved clarity around integration patterns, data availability, and feasibility.
Strengthening alignment across product, engineering, and go-to-market teams through clear technical requirements, shared integration standards, and improved collaboration
Expanding the breadth and quality of supported integrations across Data Intelligence and Digital Connectivity while maintaining rigorous technical, security, and performance standards.
Success here isn’t about checking boxes – it’s about propelling Kinective’s mission to lead the way to intelligent banking. You must bring excellence to your craft, balance resourcefulness with respect, share and celebrate unique expertise and diverse perspectives, and continuously raise the bar as we innovate and grow.
