Who you are

• You Put Customers First - including internal product teams. You build leverage that improves end-customer experiences across products
• You Act Like an Owner. You take accountability for outcomes (velocity, reliability, adoption), not just roadmaps
• You Think in Systems. You’re comfortable with architecture trade-offs, failure modes, and second-order effects
• You Have Strong Commercial Intuition. You understand how infrastructure decisions impact revenue, retention, adoption, and trust
• You’re a Player-Coach. You can operate strategically while directly driving execution
• You’re AI-First. You actively use AI tools to improve speed, clarity, and decision quality; you adapt your workflow as tools evolve
• 5+ years in product management, with significant experience in platform, infrastructure, fintech, payments, or API-heavy environments
• Demonstrated ability to operate at system-level depth, including ledger models, reconciliation logic, integrations, and uptime-critical systems
• Proven ability to influence senior engineering leadership and operate effectively in ambiguity
• Track record of shipping cross-team capabilities adopted at scale

What the job involves

• Float is building the unified financial platform for Canadian businesses. As we scale Cards, Business Accounts, Bill Pay, and adjacent financial services, the strength of our platform foundations will determine how quickly and reliably we can deliver value across the product portfolio
• We’re hiring a Product Manager, Platform to own the platform roadmap and execution across Core Product Platform, Integrations, and Financial Services Infrastructure
• This role exists to accelerate every other product team at Float. Success is measured not by feature output, but by increased delivery velocity, reliability, and reuse across the company
• This is a staff-level player-coach role. You’ll operate at a strategic altitude while directly contributing to execution on critical platform initiatives
• Define and own the multi-quarter platform roadmap aligned to Float’s company strategy and long-term platform vision
• Ensure platform investments measurably accelerate delivery for Cards, Business Accounts, Bill Pay, and future product verticals
• Directly drive high-leverage platform initiatives from problem definition through launch
• Partner closely with Engineering leads to shape architecture trade-offs that optimize for speed and long-term scalability
• Operate in lockstep with Product Leads, CTO, and Head of Product to ensure consistent execution across priorities
• Establish clear intake, prioritization, and dependency management processes between platform and feature squads
• Own measurable outcomes across delivery velocity, internal adoption of platform services, payments uptime, and platform reliability
• Leverage AI tools to accelerate discovery, synthesize stakeholder input, draft crisp requirements, and model roadmap scenarios
• What Success Looks Like (6-12 Months):
• Feature teams ship faster because core primitives already exist and are reliable
• Platform is viewed internally as a force multiplier, not a bottleneck
• Platform investments demonstrably contribute to seamless cross-product experiences
• Accounting integrations are deeply trusted and scale cleanly with mid-market and ERP customers
• Payments and ledger-adjacent systems are robust enough to support increased platform scale without incident-driven slowdowns
• Clear platform metrics exist and improve over time: velocity, adoption/reuse, uptime, reliability, and reduced operational drag

The application process

• We use technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), to support parts of our hiring process
• This may include AI-assisted scheduling and candidate communications, and AI-generated interview notes, guides or summaries to help our team focus on the conversation. All hiring decisions are made by our hiring team
