SVP, Product Management, Origination

ABOUT NYMBUS

Nymbus is not just a leader in fintech; we are a community of innovators passionate about reimagining banking. Our modern banking platform and cloud-based technology help financial institutions modernize, grow, and deliver differentiated experiences to their customers and members.

Nymbus is building the next generation of fintech platforms, and Domain Owners are among the most consequential leadership roles in delivering that vision.

The SVP, Product Management, Origination role owns the products and experiences that enable banks and credit unions to attract, acquire, onboard, and deepen relationships with new and existing customers and members — spanning digital deposit account opening and eLending.

WORK ENVIRONMENT

We are a remote-first company, with occasional travel required for team collaboration or client engagement.

POSITION SUMMARY

The SVP, Product Management, Origination is the senior product leader responsible for the strategic direction, product performance, squad output, and commercial outcomes of Nymbus' Origination domain.

You will lead the product teams responsible for how businesses and consumers originate new financial relationships both online and in-branch across all product types, including credit cards, loans, deposits, and more across the product suite.

This is not a traditional product management role. You operate with four capabilities simultaneously: strategic product leadership, people leadership, deep banking origination expertise, and AI-first execution.

You are expected to be a hands-on subject matter expert who understands how banks and credit unions acquire customers and members, originate accounts and loans, manage risk and compliance throughout the application lifecycle, and integrate origination platforms into the broader banking ecosystem.

You should be equally comfortable discussing market strategy with an executive team, walking through an application funnel with a client, diagnosing friction in an onboarding workflow, and working with product and engineering teams to determine what needs to change.

YOUR DOMAIN: ORIGINATION

The Origination domain encompasses the technology, workflows, integrations, and experiences required to turn a prospect into an active banking customer or credit union member.

Deposit Origination

Own the end-to-end account-opening experience for consumer and business deposit products, including:

• Digital account opening and application workflows
• Customer and member onboarding
• Identity verification and authentication
• KYC, CIP, OFAC, fraud, and risk decisioning integrations
• Eligibility and membership qualification
• Product selection and configuration
• Account ownership and titling
• Beneficiaries and joint applicants
• Funding and initial deposits
• Disclosures, consent, and electronic signatures
• Application review, exception handling, and abandonment
• Third party relationships and integrations
• Core account creation and downstream integration
• Cross-sell and relationship expansion
• Conversion optimization across the origination funnel

Loan Origination

Own the digital lending origination experience from application through booking, including:

• Business and consumer loans and other digital products
• Applicant identity and eligibility
• Credit bureau and third-party data integrations
• Credit decisioning and underwriting workflows
• Pricing, offers, terms, and disclosures
• Document collection and verification
• Fraud and risk controls
• Automated and manual decisioning
• Adverse action and regulatory requirements
• Electronic signatures
• Funding and disbursement
• Loan booking and handoff to servicing/core systems
• Application status and customer communications
• Funnel performance and conversion optimization

You will ensure these capabilities work together as a cohesive origination platform rather than as disconnected products.

• Guide teams through complex product decisions where customer experience, operational requirements, regulatory obligations, and technical constraints intersect.

People Leadership

• Build, develop, and lead the product talent responsible for the Origination domain.

• Identify opportunities to embed AI directly into origination experiences and operations where it creates meaningful customer or financial institution value.
• Challenge teams to use AI to shorten the distance between identifying a problem and delivering a validated solution.
• Establish high standards for evidence, specifications, experimentation, and measurable outcomes.
• Continuously evaluate emerging AI capabilities and determine where they can materially improve origination, underwriting, fraud detection, servicing handoffs, or operational efficiency.

THE PERSON WE'RE LOOKING FOR

You know banking origination deeply enough to recognize when a workflow looks simple on a screen but is operationally, technically, or regulatorily complex underneath.

You understand that opening a deposit account or originating a loan isn't just an application form. It is an interconnected decision journey involving identity, risk, eligibility, product rules, disclosures, funding, decisioning, integrations, and ultimately the creation of an accurate relationship within the financial institution's systems.

You know how banks and credit unions actually operate, but you aren't constrained by how those processes have historically worked.

You can envision a dramatically better origination experience — and then lead a team to build it.

Most importantly, you take ownership. You don't simply manage a roadmap. You are accountable for whether the Origination domain succeeds.
