Entrepreneur-in-Residence; Strategic Innovation

Company Mission:
Our mission is to give the world access to the best products by empowering great brands to reach their growth potential.

About Wayflyer:
Today's consumer brands need a capital provider that keeps pace with their growth ambitions. Traditional financing options are slow, cumbersome and often out of reach. That's why we built Wayflyer.

Our unique technology allows us to assess businesses in minutes, generate financing offers that reflect their growth potential and send funds in as little as 24 hours. Since launching in April 2020, we've deployed over $4.5bn to thousands of brands worldwide, backed by Tier 1 banks like J.P. Morgan.

Teams at Wayflyer are truly cross-functional. You'll be collaborating with ambitious colleagues from around the world - all striving to deliver on a huge opportunity.

At Wayflyer, we value being sound people, excellent operators, and ambitious overachievers, working together with integrity, creativity, and bold optimism to deliver exceptional results.

This isn’t a typical product role focused on scaling existing systems, it’s about creating new possibilities. You’ll have the chance to explore early ideas, test them with real customers, and help shape the future of Wayflyer’s product portfolio.

• Explore new customer problems and unmet needs across eCommerce and other markets.
• Work with your product trio to prototype, test, and validate ideas quickly.
• Use AI tools to speed up research, experiment design, and prototyping.
• Partner with commercial teams, data, product and design teams to shape new opportunities.
• Help define the early roadmap for new product bets, balancing quick experiments with longer-term potential.
• Contribute to building repeatable ways of working for innovation inside Wayflyer.
• Run structured discovery: interview customers, gather insights, and frame clear problem statements.
• Use AI-powered tools for customer research, data analysis, and insight generation.
• Design and run experiments to validate assumptions.
• Collaborate closely with design and engineering to bring early-stage ideas to life.
• Track experiment results and share learnings clearly with the team and stakeholders.
• Support shaping early business cases—how a new product could create customer and business impact.
• Contribute to product reviews, idea sessions, and cross-team collaborations that build Wayflyer’s innovation muscle.

• 2–4 years of product management experience, ideally in a fast-paced startup or scale-up.
• Curiosity and creativity: you’re energized by exploring open-ended spaces and turning ambiguity into clarity.
• A bias for action and experimentation: you’d rather test and learn than debate endlessly.
• Strong discovery skills: you know how to talk to customers, dig into pain points, and synthesize insights.
• Comfort working in uncertainty: you enjoy the challenge of figuring things out when there’s no clear path.
• Collaborative mindset: you work well in a cross-functional team and bring people along on the journey.
• An entrepreneurial spark: you think like a founder and are motivated by building something new.
• Interest in using AI: you always try out the latest AI solutions and models and are an early adopter of anything new in this area.
