Product Director, Acquisition & Growth

As a Product Director – Acquisition and Growth at J.P.

By their nature, our people are also solution-oriented, commercially savvy, and have a head for fintech. We work in tribes and squads that focus on specific products and projects, and depending on your strengths and interests, you'll have the opportunity to move between them.
