Working closely with senior leaders across the company, you’ll help turn new product ideas into real, scalable businesses: shaping strategy, designing customer and operational experiences, and driving execution from concept through launch and growth. This is a highly cross-functional, zero-to-one role for someone who thrives in ambiguity and loves building. We’re looking for a highly leveraged operator: someone equally comfortable thinking strategically, solving messy operational problems, coordinating complex execution, leveraging modern tools and AI thoughtfully, and rolling up their sleeves to make things happen. This is a newly created role, which means you’ll have the opportunity to help shape the mandate, build core processes, and make a visible impact as Fig continues to grow. What you’ll do • Help build and launch Fig’s next generation of financial products, playing a key role in the company’s expansion into new product areas. • Work closely with senior leadership to shape product strategy, launch plans, operational models, and execution priorities for new initiatives. • Take ambiguous ideas and turn them into scalable customer experiences, systems, processes, and operational workflows. • Lead high-impact, cross-functional initiatives across internal teams including Product, Engineering, CX, Compliance, Credit, Fraud, and Marketing, as well as external vendors and development partners. • Coordinate closely with external development teams and implementation partners to drive execution and ensure high-quality delivery. • Design customer journeys, operational processes, support models, and launch frameworks with a focus on scalability, speed, customer experience, and operational resilience. • Build the foundations needed to scale new products successfully, including tooling, reporting, governance, vendor operations, and internal processes. • Identify operational risks, edge cases, and execution gaps early, then work hands-on with stakeholders across the business to solve them pragmatically. • Use data, customer insights, experimentation, and emerging tools to validate assumptions, guide prioritization, and improve outcomes over time. • Create clear documentation, decision frameworks, and executive-ready materials that help teams align and move quickly. • Contribute directly to key product, operational, and go-to-market decisions as Fig expands into new product areas. You’ll succeed here if you have • Experience building and launching new products, programs, or operational initiatives from idea through execution and scaling. • Strong product and operational judgment, with the ability to balance customer experience, scalability, speed, and risk in complex environments. • Experience working in fintech, lending, banking, payments, or other regulated industries where operational details and edge cases matter. • A track record of independently driving ambiguous, cross-functional work forward and turning loose ideas into structured execution plans. • Experience working closely with both internal teams and external partners, including vendors, development agencies, or implementation partners. • Strong communication skills and the ability to build alignment across technical, operational, and business stakeholders. • Comfort operating in fast-moving environments where priorities evolve quickly and not every process already exists. • A highly ownership-oriented mindset: you’re proactive, resourceful, hands-on, and willing to dive directly into problems when needed. • Strong analytical instincts and comfort using data to inform decisions, investigate issues, and improve outcomes over time. • Curiosity about AI tools and emerging technologies, and an instinct for using them pragmatically to improve execution, workflows, and customer experience. Why Fig • Make an impact: Rare opportunity to join early and help shape the future direction of a fast-growing fintech company. • High ownership: Take on a high-impact role with direct exposure to senior leadership and company-building initiatives. • Strong culture: Work in a team that values impact, accountability, curiosity, and collaboration. • Hybrid work environment: Balance of remote and in-office work (currently one day a week in Toronto), while maintaining strong collaboration. • Competitive compensation: Base salary range of $110,000 to $135,000 + bonus. • Retirement savings program: Employer matching to support your long-term financial goals. • Comprehensive benefits: Medical, dental, and vision group insurance, as well as health and wellness spending accounts. • Time off: Generous vacation and wellness time to support rest and recharge. • Parental support: Parental leave top-up to support your growing family. • Growth and Development: Continuing education stipend to support your professional development.
