Product & Client Innovation Lead

Job Description
Solance is the new tier in banking. We are a trusting financial partner, specialised in servicing clients with complex corporate structures and offering tailored financial services for exceptional clients. Think Credit Suisse's service DNA spliced with Revolut's tech genius; Solance is that hybrid, engineered for the best experience you've ever had with finance.
With our EMI license application in progress and our launch set for early 2026, we're building a bright, ambitious team to shape Solance from the ground up. A team that's ready to rethink the rules, simplify the complex and bring clarity and care to every client interaction.
We're not here to build just another EMI. We're here to create the most loved B2B financial services provider in the market, and we need you to help make it happen.
We've got Payments, FX, and Cards in the pipeline, but we want more than "industry standard". We want products that make clients think: 'Wow, I didn't know banking could be as easy and fun like this.'
The Role
Think of yourself as part product mastermind, part client rockstar, the bridge between "I've got an idea" and "Damn, we just launched it."
If you can sketch it on the back of a Guinness coaster, we can turn it into a product.
Your mission? Own that magical spot where wild ideas, real client needs, and commercial wins all collide.
Product: Spot gaps others miss, dream up solutions, and take them from scribble to shiny, market-ready product.
Client: Get out there. Talk to customers. Dig into their world. Solve problems they didn't even know were problems, and make them love you for it.
Here, your voice isn't just "heard", it's amplified. You'll challenge the CEO and CTO (and they'll expect you to). You're not here to follow the old playbook. You're here to write the new one.
What You'll Do
Track: Keep a close eye on competitors and industry leaders, spot what already works in the market and make sure we stay ahead
Invent: Create products that make corporate banking feel fresh, fast, and human.
Validate: Test concepts with real clients, refine based on feedback, and kill ideas that don't deliver impact.
Launch: Partner with tech, ops, and marketing to take products live at speed.
Sell: Pitch your own products to clients, partners, at industry events, you'll be as comfortable in a client's boardroom as in a product sprint.
Lead by influence: Inspire internal teams to think client-first and commercially.
Requirements
Who You Are
Industry fluent: You've been in banking, payments, or an EMI, you know the space and where it's broken.
Product experienced: You've been in a product role at a Neobank, EMI or other fintech business where you've done everything from creating epics, user stories, roadmaps, delivery management, QA testing, A/B testing and collecting customer feedback.
Agile fluent: You have hands-on experience in working across multiple scrum teams delivering fintech products in an agile methodology.
Data driven: You're experienced researching competitors, customers, industry trends, gaps and opportunities.
Hungry: You've had big ideas at your current job but been held back by legacy and bureaucracy. You're ready for a place where you can actually build them.
Commercial & creative: You see both the revenue opportunity and the UX journey.
Tech-comfortable: You don't need to code, but you can discuss APIs and product architecture with engineers.
Client obsessed: You naturally spot ways to make their life easier and love building relationships.
Why you'll love it here?
Direct influence on our product roadmap and company strategy.
Freedom to move fast, no "months of sign-off" here.
Build products you can be proud of and point to in the market.
Be part of a small, ambitious team that actually listens to good ideas.
Let's make the future of finance feel good.
