Director of Product, Payments and Financial Infrastructure

Denver, CO | Hybrid (2 days onsite)

Full-Time | $180k to $210k base

The Opportunity

We are hiring a Director of Product to own Payments and Financial Infrastructure for a platform serving thousands of orthodontic practices and millions of patient payment plans each year.

This is not a checkout or subscription billing role.

You will lead product strategy for a highly complex payments ecosystem that spans recurring patient collections, practice disbursements, lender and financing partner integrations, and the infrastructure that makes those flows reliable at scale. Success in this role directly impacts cash flow, margins, patient experience, and operational efficiency for the business.

Reporting to the VP of Product, you will set direction for a mission critical domain that sits at the intersection of Product, Finance, Engineering, and Operations.

What You Will Own

This domain includes:

Patient accounts receivable and collections tooling
Payment processing reliability and optimization
Practice billing workflows
Integration with lenders and financing partners
Multiple product platforms with distinct architectures and dedicated engineering teams

The opportunity is to bring strategic coherence across this portfolio while driving measurable improvements in collection rates, payment success, and system reliability.

What You Will Do

Define vision, outcomes, and roadmap for Payments and Financial Infrastructure
Own business results including collection rates, payment margin, reliability, and operational efficiency
Evaluate build vs buy decisions, vendor relationships, and market options

Lead and Develop Talent

Lead and grow a team of product managers
Set a high bar for craft, clarity, and accountability
Coach PMs through direct feedback and hands-on leadership when it matters most
Go deep on the highest impact initiatives
Lead discovery for complex, ambiguous problems
Raise the bar for how product strategy and execution are done across the team

Partner Across the Business

Work closely with Finance, Operations, Engineering, and Customer Success
Own strategic relationships with payment processors and financing partners
Represent your domain independently at the executive level

Apply an AI-first Mindset

Identify where applied intelligence creates leverage beyond rules-based systems
Push the team to use AI both in how they work and what they build

Why AI Matters Here

Processing payments across millions of patient accounts creates rich, longitudinal data. This role plays a key part in identifying opportunities to use AI to predict payment outcomes, reduce failure, optimize collections, and improve decision-making across the payments stack. This is early stage enough that the right leader will shape the direction.

What We Are Looking For

7+ years of product management experience with 3+ years leading PMs
Ownership of a product domain end-to-end in a SaaS environment at $20M+ ARR or comparable scale
Strong payments infrastructure experience including reconciliation, chargebacks, payment method optimization, vendor management, and margin strategy
Experience improving recurring collections and reducing payment failureComfort operating in complex, multi-party payment flows beyond consumer checkout
Proven ability to represent your domain with executives and cross-functional leaders
Practical AI fluency and judgment about where it creates real value

Industry background is flexible. Strong candidates typically come from healthcare, lending, fintech, or subscription businesses where payment completion and customer experience are both critical.

What's In It For You

Competitive base salary plus meaningful scope and visibility
Full medical, dental, and vision benefits
401(k) with 3 percent match after 90 days
Flexible PTO and 9 company paid holidays
Paid parental leave with a two-week ease-back program
Hybrid schedule with two in-office days per week
Supportive culture with real growth opportunities
