Staff Product Manager

New York City, Hybrid

About Monstro

Monstro is the operating system for governed financial intelligence. We build governance and intelligence infrastructure that enables artificial intelligence to operate safely, explainably, and at institutional scale.

We exist because the level of financial guidance historically available to a small group should be accessible to many more people. By combining AI with deep institutional infrastructure, we help financial institutions deliver more personalized, responsible, and life-changing financial support to millions of individuals.

We’re building mission-critical systems in a highly regulated domain, and we care deeply about doing it right. If you’re motivated by meaningful problems, high standards, and shaping infrastructure that improves financial outcomes, you’ll feel at home here.

About the Role

As a Staff Product Manager, you will lead critical product initiatives from early definition through scaled adoption. This is a highly autonomous senior IC role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, brings strong product judgment, and can independently drive complex work across engineering, design, leadership, and external stakeholders.

You will own major product areas end-to-end — defining direction, making prioritization decisions, and ensuring execution stays aligned with company goals and customer needs. While this is not a people-management role, it requires strong cross-functional leadership, influence, and the ability to create clarity and momentum across teams.

You’ll work closely with engineering and design to build reliable, production-grade systems while helping shape the product discipline, operating cadence, and decision-making frameworks that support Monstro’s next stage of growth.

What You’ll Do

Own strategic product areas end-to-end

  • Drive product initiatives from discovery and definition through launch and iteration.
  • Define priorities, sequencing, scope, and success metrics across complex product areas.
  • Make principled tradeoffs in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
  • Bring structure and clarity to problems without predefined answers.

Lead through cross-functional influence

  • Partner deeply with engineering, design, GTM, and leadership teams to align execution and outcomes.
  • Translate customer, business, and technical constraints into actionable product direction.
  • Drive alignment across stakeholders while maintaining velocity and quality.
  • Act as a trusted product leader across the organization, even without formal authority.

Build high-quality systems in a regulated domain

  • Help shape reliable, explainable, and scalable financial infrastructure products.
  • Balance speed with rigor in a highly regulated environment.
  • Ensure product decisions account for governance, operational complexity, and long-term scalability.

Support customer and platform evolution

  • Partner closely with early customers and internal stakeholders to refine workflows and priorities.
  • Incorporate real-world usage and feedback into product improvements and roadmap direction.
  • Help evolve the platform from early-stage adoption toward broader institutional scale.

What Success Looks Like

  • Critical product initiatives move from concept to production with strong execution and clear ownership.
  • Engineering, design, and leadership teams have clarity around priorities, tradeoffs, and timelines.
  • Product decisions consistently balance customer value, technical feasibility, and long-term platform strategy.
  • Early customer deployments are successful, stable, and drive meaningful adoption.
  • The product organization develops stronger operating rigor, decision-making discipline, and execution consistency as the company scales.
  • Teams trust you to independently drive complex, high-impact work with minimal oversight.

What We’re Looking For

  • 8–10 years of product management experience with significant ownership over complex product areas or platforms
  • Proven track record of driving 0→1 and/or scaling products in fast-moving environments
  • Strong systems thinking and ability to navigate technical, operational, and regulatory complexity
  • Experience independently leading ambiguous, cross-functional initiatives with high organizational impact
  • Exceptional product judgment, prioritization skills, and execution rigor
  • Experience partnering closely with engineering and design teams on highly technical products
  • Ability to influence across teams and drive alignment without relying on formal authority
  • Experience in high-growth startups or similarly demanding environments
  • Demonstrated business impact across areas such as revenue, adoption, retention, operational efficiency, or platform scalability
  • Prior experience in fintech, financial services, payments, lending, infrastructure, AI platforms, or regulated industries strongly valued

Why Monstro?

  • Ownership & Impact: Shape the future of AI-powered finance—building a category-defining product used by consumers and institutions around the world.
  • Elite Team: Join a team with leadership that has a track record of scaling companies from early stage to major exits.
  • Principles-Driven Culture: Work in a culture that values speed, ownership, and impact—what most companies achieve in 90 days, we do in 45.
  • Comprehensive Compensation Package: Competitive salary, equity, and robust benefits package, including paid health, vision, dental, and disability coverage.

Total Base Compensation Range (New York City): $237,000 - $265,000

*The posted range reflects the base salary for this role across the market ranges for each location. Final compensation will depend on a variety of factors, including experience, skills, internal leveling, and market conditions, and will be offered within the stated range in accordance with applicable pay transparency laws.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
