Out of the successful launch of Chase in 2021, we're a new team, with a new mission. We're creating products that solve real-world problems and put customers at the center - all in an environment that nurtures skills and helps you realize your potential. Our team is key to our success. We're people-first. We value collaboration, curiosity, and commitment.
As a Senior Product Operations Manager at JPMorgan Chase within the Chase Accelerator, you'll join us to help build a multi-market, multi-product banking platform that will power Chase's expansion into Europe. You'll lead a team of Product Operations Managers and Analysts, owning operational coherence across a complex product area - from launch readiness and the enablement of the internal teams who run our products, through to the evidence loop that brings production reality back into roadmap decisions. This is a people leadership role, and you'll operate with a high degree of autonomy across the seam between product, engineering, and banking operations. You could work across a range of areas including core banking, payments, and cards, depending on where your experience and interests best fit. We are a fintech-focused team, and we're looking for people who want to make a product organisation genuinely work, drive good operational culture, and keep building deep expertise in the space.
Job responsibilities
- Lead a team of Product Operations Managers and Analysts, owning their coaching, development, and performance.
- Drive operational coherence across a complex product area, ensuring enablement quality, launch readiness, and workaround cost are visible and bounded across your team's areas.
- Champion consistent adoption of the product delivery lifecycle across the areas your team serves, and carry proposed changes through to genuine adoption.
- Enable risk review, controls, and compliance sign-off across your area, so governance needs are met through prepared evidence and sequenced gates rather than from product manager time; manage the working relationship with reviewers.
- Own the data and reporting contract with the programme management office across your area, so governance needs are met from systems rather than from product manager time.
- Partner on conscious scope decisions in zero-to-one launches; agree what ships with known workarounds and be accountable for the operational side proving sustainable.
- Lead stabilisation efforts when genuinely necessary, measured on speed of closure and root cause surfaced.
- Arbitrate when your team's areas compete for capacity or conflict on approach.
Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills
- Experience in product operations or platform operations within fintech, digital banking, or banking-as-a-service.
- Demonstrated experience supporting product launches run by internal operational teams, ideally in payments, cards, or accounts.
- Experience working with risk, compliance, and control functions in regulated delivery environments.
- Experience managing people, or a strong record of leading through others with readiness to take on formal management responsibility.
- Proven ability to design workarounds, standard operating procedures, and tooling that reduce manual operational load.
- Demonstrated ability to quantify operational cost and build evidence that influences prioritisation decisions.
Why Join Us?
- Build something new. Help create the next generation of banking infrastructure inside one of the world's largest financial institutions.
- Move fast. We're one of the fastest-moving teams in the firm, with a startup mindset backed by JPMorgan Chase's scale, customers, and investment.
- Use the latest technology. We invest in modern engineering practices, artificial intelligence-powered tooling, and the latest technologies to help teams move faster and build better products.
- Grow your career. You'll work alongside experienced Product, Engineering, and Design leaders who are invested in your development, with clear opportunities to grow your impact and career.
- Work with a diverse team from across financial services, tech, and fintech.
