Digital Product Manager, Money Movement (Contract)
Toronto, ON · Hybrid, 2–3 days/week onsite downtown (alternating weeks, including some Fridays)
6-month initial contract · Start: early December
Pay: $65/hr - $90/hr (max T4 rate - $75/hr, max C2C rate - $90/hr)
My client, one of Canada’s Big 5 banks, is looking for a technically strong Digital Product Manager to join the most technically complex pod on its frontline banking platform. The team builds the digital experiences branch and frontline employees use to help customers access, deposit and transfer funds. It delivers a small number of large, high-impact initiatives each year, not a steady stream of small ones.
This role is for someone who owns the work. A Senior Product Owner sets direction and approves key decisions, and you’ll drive everything between those checkpoints: investigating, finding gaps, solving problems and moving delivery forward without needing to be managed.
Title matters less than what you’ve delivered. Product Managers, Product Owners, Project Managers and senior Business Analysts are all welcome to apply, as long as you’ve personally led financial transaction initiatives from discovery through rollout.
What you’ll do
- Lead initiatives end to end: discovery, requirements, design, development, testing, production validation and rollout
- Run discovery and requirements sessions, track down missing information, identify gaps and develop solutions
- Turn findings into clear requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria and delivery plans
- Work with Technology teams to understand how the experience connects to APIs, backend systems and integrated platforms
- Design reliable journeys around complex transaction flows (deposits, payments, funds availability, holds, reversals and exceptions) while accounting for financial controls, operational processes and risk
- Guide the assigned designers and content specialists by explaining what the experience needs to accomplish and giving clear, constructive feedback
- Shape testing and production validation so critical transaction paths and exception scenarios are covered
- Develop and lead pilot and rollout strategies, including readiness planning, success measures and frontline feedback
- Manage the backlog, track dependencies and risks, and bring well-formed recommendations to the Senior Product Owner
What you bring
- Hands-on experience implementing financial transactions in a digital product, covering both the user experience and the technical considerations underneath
- A working understanding of APIs, backend systems, and how money moves and balances across systems
- Approximately 3–5 years in digital product management, product ownership, project management or business analysis, with a track record of owning delivery end to end
- Direct experience in financial services, ideally retail banking
- The confidence to influence stakeholders and build buy-in across business, technology, design and content teams
- Good judgment about when to decide independently and when to escalate
