Head of Credit Products

Job description

WHY SOCURE? Socure is building the identity trust infrastructure for the digital economy — verifying 100% of good identities in real time and stopping fraud before it starts. The mission is big, the problems are complex, and the impact is felt by businesses, governments, and millions of people every day. We hire people who want that level of responsibility. People who move fast, think critically, act like owners, and care deeply about solving customer problems with precision. If you want predictability or narrow scope, this won’t be your place. If you want to help build the future of identity with a team that holds a high bar for itself — keep reading. Socure is seeking a Head of Credit Products to define and lead a new line of business focused on credit score and credit-adjacent products. This leader will own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for the products built on top of Socure’s BNPL and CRA consortia, helping establish a differentiated credit intelligence business that extends Socure’s leadership in identity, fraud, and risk decisioning. This is a highly strategic, 0→1 leadership role for a product executive who can identify market opportunities, translate them into scalable product strategy, and drive execution across Product, Data Science, Engineering, Legal, Compliance, GTM, and Operations. The role will be central to shaping how Socure brings together consortium data, credit reporting capabilities, fraud prevention intelligence, and underwriting-oriented signals into market-leading products for lenders and adjacent financial services use cases.
