Solance is the new tier in finance. We’re a bold new player, specialised in helping clients with complex corporate structures access the kind of financial services they’ve always struggled to get. Think Credit Suisse’s service DNA spliced with Revolut’s tech genius; Solance is that hybrid, engineered for the best client experience you’ve ever had.

Our EMI license is in progress and we’re gearing up for launch in 2026. That means we’re building Solance from scratch: processes, culture, products, and a brand that sets a whole new standard. If you’re ambitious, hungry, and ready to step into a Head of Product role where you’ll leave corporate bureaucracy far behind, this might be your moment.

The Head of Product will define and own the product vision & strategy, ensuring that every feature, flow, and release contributes directly to Solance’s commercial objectives and client experience. You will work closely with the CEO and senior leadership team to translate the company’s vision and strategy into a clearly prioristised product roadmap, while leading and mentoring the product function to execute at speed and high quality. This role requires a highly entrepreneurial mindset. You are comfortable operating in ambiguity, making decisions with imperfect information, and moving forward without waiting for permission. You see what needs to be done and go after it.

You understand that in an early-stage fintech, the product is not just about features, it is about solving real client problems in a compliant, scalable, and commercially viable way.

Responsibilities

Product Vision & Strategy: Define and continuously refine Solance’s product vision, ensuring alignment with the company’s commercial strategy and target client segments. Translate this vision into a clear and actionable product roadmap.

Product Leadership: Build, lead, and develop the product function. Establish ways of working that enable speed, ownership, and accountability across the team. Set a high bar for performance and output.

Execution & Delivery: Own the end-to-end product lifecycle, from ideation to delivery. Ensure that product development is structured, prioritised, and aligned with business impact. Drive clarity in requirements, user stories, and delivery timelines.

Customer-Centric Development: Work closely with clients and internal stakeholders to deeply understand user needs, translating these into product features that deliver real value. Ensure the product remains intuitive despite underlying complexity.

Commercial Alignment: Ensure that product decisions support key performance indicators. Balance client needs with pricing strategy and operational efficiency.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as the bridge between business, technology, operations, finance, risk and compliance. Ensure strong communication and alignment across all functions involved in delivering the product.

Regulatory Awareness: Work closely with compliance and risk teams to ensure that all product developments are aligned with regulatory requirements, without compromising on user experience.

Continuous Improvement: Foster a culture of iteration, feedback, and improvement. Continuously challenge the status quo and look for ways to enhance the product and how the team operates.
