About the role:
In this exciting new opportunity, you'll be responsible for leading the product build for Keystone Reciprocal Deposits, a governed network service that helps banks retain large deposit relationships, support expanded FDIC insurance coverage above $250,000, and reduce operational drag across placement, matching, recalls, reconciliations, reporting, and audit evidence.

Product Strategy
- Define the product strategy for Reciprocal Deposits, including MVP scope, founder-bank pilot requirements, scale path, and commercial readiness gates.
- Build the roadmap for allocation, reciprocal matching, capacity management, recall orchestration, settlement evidence, reporting, pricing telemetry, and support workflows.
- Partner with GTM and Commercial teams to define founder-bank selection, network viability assumptions, and adoption path across priority FIS core clients.
Product Execution
- Write high-quality PRDs, launch plans, operating requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, and decision memos.
- Own requirements for customer enrollment, bank onboarding, depositor exclusions, insurance cap enforcement, bank capacity profiles, allocation logic, and reciprocal matching.
- Build product mechanisms for evidence: allocation reports, matching records, audit logs, exception histories, settlement outputs, and compliance exports.

- Define positioning, value proposition, buyer narratives, competitive framing, launch messaging, sales enablement, demo flows, and customer proof points with GTM and Marketing.

Customer and Market Leadership
- Engage directly with bank treasury, operations, compliance, relationship management, CIO, and payments leaders.
- Translate bank operating realities into scalable product capabilities, not one-off implementation commitments.
- Validate user workflows for treasury teams, bank operations, relationship managers, compliance, audit, and FIS/Keystone operations.
Technical Product Leadership
- Partner deeply with engineering and architecture on allocation services, matching logic, ledger semantics, APIs, event orchestration, identity, RBAC, maker/checker controls, audit logging, and operational tooling.
- Own product decisions around net versus gross settlement evidence, ledger versus off-ledger accounting records, batch versus intraday processing, and exception/fallback handling.
Operational and Regulatory Readiness
- Define product controls for pass-through recordkeeping support, reciprocal classification support, thresholds, exclusions, default handling, disclosures, and audit evidence.
- Drive launch readiness for roles, limits, bank setup, settlement tests, monitoring, DR, support runbooks, escalation paths, and exception management.
What you bring (required):
- 8+ years of product management experience.
- Experience building platform, infrastructure, banking, payments, treasury, deposit, or financial technology products.

- Strong written communication skills, including PRDs, decision memos, launch plans, and executive-ready narratives.
- Demonstrated ability to operate independently in ambiguous, regulated, and high-stakes environments.
- Experience owning product outcomes beyond delivery, including adoption, GTM readiness, customer feedback loops, pricing inputs, launch metrics, or commercial performance.
What you bring (highly preferred):
- Reciprocal deposits, brokered deposits, sweep products, insured cash products, treasury management, or liquidity products.
- Deposit operations, core banking, Cash Manager or cash management platforms, reconciliation, statements, GL posting, or settlement operations.
- FDIC insurance workflows, pass-through recordkeeping, bank compliance evidence, audit logs, or regulatory reporting.
- Tokenized deposits, digital assets, stablecoins, or distributed ledger infrastructure.
- API platforms, bank integration models, developer ecosystems, event-driven systems, or transaction processing platforms.
- Financial networks, consortium models, rulebooks, network governance, or multi-party operating models.
- Pricing, usage telemetry, billing models, cost drivers, or unit economics for bank infrastructure products.
