Remote Fintech Risk Management Jobs in Kentucky (NOW HIRING)

ASMARK INSTITUTE

DIRECTOR OF PRODUCT MANAGEMENT

Do you notice the missing step before everyone else feels the pain from it? Are you the kind of leader who asks thoughtful questions, listens closely, and turns unclear needs into clear direction? Do you enjoy helping people grow by raising the standard, not doing the work for them? If you are a curious, steady, business-minded product leader who can turn complexity into clear next steps, we want to talk to you!

Our ideal Director of Product Management is:

• Accountable and Steady: You follow through, own the outcome, and help others do the same. You stay grounded in facts, even when conversations are hard or priorities are competing.
• Curious and Discerning: You ask good questions and listen for what is not being said. You know how to separate what matters from what is just noise.
• A Tough but Fair Coach: You set a high bar and help people rise to meet it. You are firm, fair, and direct when the work is not where it needs to be. You teach, challenge, and support others in a way that builds confidence and accountability.
• Business-Minded: You understand that product decisions have real impact on the business and its future. You think about client needs, utilization, efficiency, revenue, and long-term value.
• Clear and Collaborative: You can work with technical and non-technical people without creating silos. You communicate early, respectfully, and plainly so people know where things stand.

Our ideal Director of Product Management will help Asmark build stronger products and stronger product owners. In this role, your ability to bring clarity, accountability, and good judgment to complex work will directly shape how ideas become priorities, how teams work together, and how Asmark continues creating value for the clients who rely on us.

• Use clear measures of product success to connect customer value, adoption, retention, revenue growth, and team efficiency
