INTRODUCTION
We believe that the way people interact with their finances will drastically improve in the next few years. We’re dedicated to empowering this transformation by building the tools and experiences that thousands of developers use to create their own products. Plaid powers the tools millions of people rely on to live a healthier financial life. We work with thousands of companies like Venmo, SoFi, several of the Fortune 500, and many of the largest banks to make it easy for people to connect their financial accounts to the apps and services they want to use. Plaid’s network covers 12,000 financial institutions across the US, Canada, UK and Europe. Founded in 2013, the company is headquartered in San Francisco with offices in New York, Washington D.C., London and Amsterdam.
THE ROLE
The EPD Finance function is a strategic partner to Plaid’s world-class Engineering, Product, and Design (EPD) organization. The team owns product-level revenue and gross margin forecasting, R&D investment planning, and the analytical frameworks that guide how Plaid deploys capital — and serves as a critical voice in long-range strategic and capital allocation decisions. As Head of EPD Finance, you will work closely with Engineering, Product, Design, GTM, Data, Accounting, and the Executive team to ensure our R&D engine and product portfolio deliver durable, compounding returns. You will report directly to the CFO and act as the primary finance partner to our CPO and CTO — their go-to thought partner on strategy, resource allocation, and execution across the EPD organization. You will inherit a lean, talented team with plans to scale appropriately over time.
Responsibilities
- Revenue & Gross Margin Forecasting — Build product-level forecasts that accurately predict Plaid’s topline performance in the near and mid-term. Construct long-term forecasts that balance bottoms-up and top-down methodologies to help size Plaid’s commercial opportunity 3–5 years into the future.
- Resource Allocation — Partner with the CPO and CTO on capital deployment, including headcount planning by key function and team, capacity modeling that maps directly to the product roadmap, the EPD AI tooling approach, and scenario planning. Identify opportunities to optimize COGS and opex in ways that increase velocity, while remaining disciplined on costs.
- Performance Visibility & Tracking — Own EPD performance tracking and reporting. Ensure we focus on the highest-signal metrics, including service delivery to customers. Partner with Data teams on data hygiene, timeliness, and the granularity needed to inform decisions across EPD and the broader business.
- Cross-functional Partnership — Build trusted relationships across the company, acting as the connective tissue between EPD and the rest of the business — and especially between Product and GTM, where you’ll provide counsel and analytical support on cross-functional priorities.
- Board Reporting — Own the Product narrative for quarterly Board meetings: business performance, strategic progress against near- and long-term goals, and a forward-looking perspective — synthesized into compelling, executive-ready materials.
- Team Building — Define the future-state of the EPD Finance team and execute against it. Hire, develop, and lead a high-performing team capable of operating at the pace and complexity of a scaled growth-stage business. Be a strong collaborator with peer Finance leads, and set the example for how your team partners with the rest of the Finance org.
QUALIFICATIONS
- 15+ years in Finance, with a background spanning management consulting, investment banking, private equity, or strategic finance at a high-growth technology company
- Deep fluency in product P&L finance — you can move fluidly between product-level revenue forecasting, gross margin analysis, headcount and capacity planning, and software economics without losing the narrative thread
- Exceptional analytical rigor paired with sharp business judgment — you know when the model needs more work and when it’s time to make a call
- A genuine builder with a player-coach approach: you’re energized by defining what “great” looks like and building the team and systems to get there
- Demonstrated success leading and developing high-performing finance teams
- Executive presence and exceptional communication skills — written, verbal, and visual — with the ability to influence senior stakeholders, technical leaders, and Board-level audiences
- Prior experience partnering with engineering and product leaders is a strong plus; fintech or financial services experience is a plus, but not required
Our mission at Plaid is to unlock financial freedom for everyone. To support that mission, we seek to build a diverse team of driven individuals who care deeply about making the financial ecosystem more equitable.

Tips for Your Head Of Product Job Search
Quantify product impact on your resume
Hiring managers for head of product roles want to see outcomes you owned, not tasks you managed. Replace vague descriptions with metrics tied to activation, retention, revenue, or ship velocity. Generic bullets about roadmap ownership won't differentiate you from the dozens of other applicants.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists head of product openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Tailor your narrative to each company stage
Early-stage companies want someone who can build process from scratch. Late-stage or public companies want someone who can coordinate across large, siloed teams. Read the job description for signals about company maturity and reframe your experience to match that specific challenge before applying.
Build a portfolio of product decisions
A head of product role requires demonstrating judgment, not just execution. Prepare two or three case studies that walk through a hard prioritization call, a failed bet, or a strategic pivot you led. Panels often spend more time on your reasoning than on your outcomes.
Prepare for a product critique round
Many head of product interview loops include a live product critique or teardown of the company's own product. Practice critiquing products in your target domain out loud, covering strategy, user problems, and what you would change and why, in under ten minutes.
Negotiate scope alongside compensation
When you reach the offer stage, clarify the reporting structure, team size, and budget authority before accepting. A head of product title at one company can mean managing two PMs with no engineering influence, while at another it means owning the entire roadmap and a direct line to the CEO.
Head Of Product Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most head of products?
The companies hiring the most head of products right now include Plaid, TikTok, and JPMorganChase, with the largest share of openings in California, New York, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Demand is highest in SaaS, fintech, and healthtech companies that are scaling product teams.
How many head of product jobs are remote?
About 56% of head of product openings are fully remote or hybrid as of August 2026, making it one of the more location-flexible senior roles in product. Platform, growth, and B2B SaaS positions tend to have the highest share of remote or distributed arrangements compared to consumer hardware or in-person retail product roles.
How do you become a head of product?
Most heads of product start as individual-contributor product managers, move into a senior PM or group PM role where they manage a full product area, and then step into leading other PMs. Building a clear track of cross-functional ownership, shipping product with measurable outcomes, and mentoring junior PMs strengthens your case. Pursuing a role at a smaller company first can accelerate the title transition.
Can you get hired as a head of product with little experience?
It is possible at an early-stage startup where the title covers a broad scope with a small team, rather than managing a large product organization. Candidates who transition from technical program management, engineering leadership, or a strong solo-founder background can sometimes make this jump. Demonstrating that you can own a product strategy end to end, even on a small scale, matters more than years in a PM title.
What does the head of product interview process look like?
A typical head of product interview loop includes a recruiter screen, a hiring manager conversation focused on your product philosophy and leadership style, a panel with cross-functional partners such as engineering and design leads, a product strategy or roadmap presentation, and a final executive interview. Some companies add a live product critique or a written case study to assess judgment and communication under pressure.
