Digital Product Manager — Pittsburgh, PA

Tyler St. John

Product leader and builder. 13+ years in fintech, insurtech & lending.

I lead cross-functional teams, ship digital products that move the business, and build my own things on the side to stay close to the craft.

What I work on.

Day-to-day, I build digital products in fintech, insurtech, and lending — digital payments, embedded finance, premium finance, insurance agency portals, and the regulated workflows that connect them.

Digital Strategy & Marketing

Websites, SEO, advertising, and digital presence — grounded in product thinking, not vanity metrics. Earlier in my career I built digital signage and marketing tech for retail and hospitality clients.

AI & Product Strategy

Roadmaps, discovery, lean canvas, and 0-to-1 product builds — with AI woven into how I research, plan, prototype, and ship.

Web Apps & Automation

Serverless apps, API integrations, data dashboards, and workflow automation — the kind of work I do for fun and to keep my hands in the code.

AI Product Builder Playbook

I didn't write about building AI products — I built one.

An 8-module microlearning course on AI product management — tap-forward cards, quizzes, and progress tracking. Two live AI features built into the course itself: a workflow mapper that finds AI leverage points in your real workflow, and a spec builder that grades your work field-by-field.

AI in My Daily Workflow

I use Copilot, ChatGPT, and Claude daily for roadmapping, feature specs, competitive analysis, and rapid prototyping. Not experimenting — shipping. This is how I work now.

Data & APIs

API Integrations & Dashboards

End-to-end data pipelines connecting third-party APIs to custom dashboards. OAuth flows, serverless backends, and real-time analytics — built for teams that need their data working harder, not sitting in spreadsheets.

Outcome: [e.g., "Connected 3 vendor APIs into a single executive dashboard, cutting weekly reporting from 4 hours to zero"]

About

Tyler St. John

Product manager by trade. Builder by choice. I've spent 13+ years leading digital product teams in fintech, insurtech, insurance premium finance, and lending — most recently as VP of Product at a Truist Financial subsidiary, where I scaled a premium collection platform used across personal and commercial lines.

I lead cross-functional teams across engineering, sales, operations, and compliance — from 0-to-1 product launches and platform migrations to UX optimization and system architecture work.

Outside of my day job, I build personal projects to stay close to the craft, experiment with AI tools, and explore ideas that don't fit inside a corporate roadmap.
