Vice President, Product Management

Position Overview:

FastSpring is seeking a Vice President, Product Management to lead product strategy and drive innovation in a high-velocity global environment of a PE-backed Merchant of Record. This role will be instrumental in shaping the next generation of products that enable our sellers to scale, optimize revenue, and operate seamlessly across markets.

As the leader of the Product Management function, you will lead a lean, high-impact team where strategic clarity is our greatest lever. In our growing environment, success is not about growth at all costs. It comes from mastery of the Product Operating Model and disciplined, data-driven trade-offs. Reporting to the CPTO, you are a product leader with payments expertise and a sophisticated understanding of modern commerce ecosystems, with exposure to embedded finance, SaaS platforms, or related domains.

This is a true player-coach role. You are equally comfortable developing talent as you are rolling up your sleeves to personally own critical workstreams or translate complex technical requirements into customer-centric solutions. You will be expected to lead from the front by working directly with customers, teams, and tools to prototype, test, and refine both products and how we build them.

You will also play a key role in evolving how product development operates at FastSpring by incorporating more automated, intelligence-assisted, and high-leverage approaches across the lifecycle while maintaining a pragmatic, execution-first mindset.

We are looking for a pragmatic innovator who is passionate about solving real-world developer and end-user problems. You see generative AI as a vital tool to amplify a team’s output and ensure we outmaneuver larger competitors through efficient execution and high-velocity learning.

We believe the way products are built is undergoing a fundamental shift. This role is for someone excited to help shape what comes next.

Responsibilities and Impact:

• Refine and drive the product vision and strategy across our global payments and subscription platform. Fully transition the team to an outcome-based Product Operating Model aligned to FastSpring’s growth and disciplined resource allocation.
• Lead the charge in embedding generative AI within the product lifecycle, from automating documentation and data synthesis to optimizing discovery, while actively using and evolving these approaches in your own work.
• Lead and mentor the Product Management team, raising the bar on how PMs think, operate, and collaborate. Establish consistent, high-quality product practices throu
