Collections Product Lead
Colombia
We are looking for a Collections Product Lead to join our Collections team.
We're launching a new business line in Colombia and looking for a product and strategy leader who will own the end-to-end customer journey across precollections and collections. In this role, you will sit at the intersection of credit risk, product, data, engineering, operations, and legal, holding full accountability for how the collections experience is designed and how it performs. You will turn fragmented touchpoints — reminders, messages, calls, payment options, restructuring offers, and self-service flows — into coherent, measurable journeys that recover money while keeping customers engaged and treated fairly.
