Product Director, Acquisition & Growth

Job Description

As a Product Director – Acquisition and Growth at J.P. Morgan Personal Investing, you will set the vision and strategy for how prospects discover our products, register, onboard, activate, and become funded customers across Europe. You will act as the voice of the customer and own the end-to-end product lifecycle for acquisition and onboarding experiences across mobile and web. With a strong commitment to scalability, resiliency, and stability, you will partner closely with cross‑functional teams to deliver experiences that exceed customer expectations and drive measurable acquisition outcomes.

This role is about scaling customer acquisition in a regulated environment, balancing ambitious commercial outcomes with compliance, privacy, and risk. You will own the foundational layer for commercial website, customer onboarding, campaign management and growth tooling, optimising journeys through data-driven insights, automation, and journey redesign. Core capabilities include channel optimisation, personalisation, onboarding journeys, in‑app messaging, and a robust attribution and data and events layer that powers product discovery and acquisition, delivering a unified, governed, and scalable investment platform that enables speed, experimentation, and accountability.

Our Product team is at the heart of this venture, focused on getting smart ideas into the hands of our customers. We’re looking for senior leaders who bring a curious mindset, thrive in collaborative squads, and are passionate about acquisition and onboarding at scale. 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.
