Product Operations and Performance Lead

VGS is the world's leader in payment tokenization. Large banks, aspiring fintechs, and growing merchants embed our universal token vault into their technology stack to manage the complexities of payment data tokenization across processors and networks, open banking, card issuance, omnichannel loyalty, PCI compliance, payment orchestration, and more.  We empower our clients and partners by tokenizing sensitive payment data, limiting compliance scope, and consolidating payments to unlock revenue and business opportunities.  VGS provides processor-agnostic tokenization solutions via secure universal token vaults, iframes, mobile SDKs, tokenization proxies, APIs, and data orchestration tooling to support payment acceptance, card issuance, PII and bank account tokenization, and other payments value-added services. Some of the use cases we enable include multi-processor Network Tokenization, Account Updater, payment orchestration, secure settlement file processing, 3DS, and Risk provider connectivity. We are seeking a founding Product Operations Lead to join our team. You will define and own the operational backbone of the Product organization, working closely with Product, Engineering, Design, and Go to Market to build the systems, cadences, and standards that help teams execute consistently and at high quality.  Rather than focusing on a single product area, you’ll work across the breadth of VGS, identifying patterns and shaping how the company builds, ships, and operates products. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, thinks in systems rather than tickets, and wants to improve product outcomes through leverage instead of org charts. You’ll be trusted to independently identify the highest-impact problems, define structure where none exists, and drive improvements that raise the bar for product quality, reliability, and customer experience across VGS. You will own three things above all else: the rigor that makes high-velocity shipping sustainable, the measurement infrastructure that tells us whether our products are succeeding after they launch, and the planning systems that keep our roadmap and revenue plan sharp, funded, and aligned across the company.
