Director of Product, Financial Services

The Role 

Fanatics is building a next-generation financial services platform designed for sports fans — one that is trusted, compliant, engaging, and deeply integrated across the Fanatics ecosystem. We are seeking a Director of Product, Financial Services to report directly to the Head of Product, Financial Services and lead the development of zero-to-one financial services products.  

This is a highly execution-focused leadership role. You will own broad problem spaces rather than a single feature area, take products from concept to market, and lead teams through ambiguity. Success in this role requires comfort operating hands-on, setting clear direction, and delivering measurable outcomes in a fast-moving, regulated environment.  

What You’ll Do: 

Product Strategy & Zero-to-One Ownership  

• Own end-to-end product development for new and emerging financial services products, from early discovery and validation through launch and iteration.  

• Translate high-level company and Financial Services strategy into concrete product visions, roadmaps, and execution plans.  

• Define success metrics and be accountable for KPIs related to adoption, engagement, trust, and operational performance.  

• Identify and validate customer problems, balancing fan experience, regulatory requirements, and business goals.  

• Leverage the broader Fanatics ecosystem (commerce, loyalty, content, betting, and fandom) to create differentiated, cross-platform financial experiences.  

Execution & Delivery Excellence  

• Lead teams through ambiguous problem spaces with a strong bias toward action and delivery.  

• Partner closely with Engineering, Design, Data, and Operations to ship high-quality, scalable products.  

• Drive rigorous product discovery, prioritization, and execution using customer insights, experimentation, and analytics.  

• Ensure all product solutions meet regulatory and compliance standards, including KYC/AML, consumer protection, and data privacy.  

• Continuously improve product quality by reducing friction, failure rates, and operational burden.  

Cross-Functional Leadership & Influence  

• Serve as a primary product partner to Engineering, Compliance, Legal, Risk, and Operations teams.  

• Clearly communicate product direction, tradeoffs, and progress to senior leaders.  

• Align dependencies and roadmaps across Fanatics teams to enable efficient execution.  

What We’re Looking For: 

• 8+ years of progressive product management experience, including people leadership, in consumer fintech, financial services, payments, or other regulated digital products.  

• Demonstrated success building and launching zero-to-one products in ambiguous, fast-paced environments.  

• Strong execution mindset with a track record of shipping products that deliver measurable customer and business impact.  

• Working knowledge of regulatory and compliance considerations in financial product development, with experience partnering closely with legal and compliance teams.  

• Data-driven approach to decision-making, including defining KPIs, running experiments, and iterating based on results.  

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex problems and influence cross-functional stakeholders.  

• Comfort operating at the Director level within a high-growth organization — setting direction, making tradeoffs, and driving outcomes.  

Preferred Qualifications: 

• Experience building consumer-facing financial products at scale.  

• Background in zero-to-one product development or platform buildouts.  

• Experience operating in multi-product or ecosystem-driven companies.  

• Passion for sports, fandom, and consumer entertainment products.
