VP, Business Solutions & Digital Products
About the Role
The VP of Business Solutions & Digital Products will serve as FSP’s senior technology leader, responsible for defining and executing the company’s digital product and technology strategy. Combining strategic leadership with hands-on build responsibility, this role will identify the technology capabilities needed by our agents across all seven channels, our credit union partners, their members, and carrier partners — and lead efforts to deliver scalable, effective solutions that drive growth, efficiency, and engagement.
Lead and expand FSP’s Business Solutions organization while coordinating internal teams, external developers, and strategic partners to deliver a unified digital product, integration, and innovation roadmap. Manage FSP’s carrier technology relationships as a senior strategic and technical peer, driving integration and collaboration opportunities with carrier platforms while advancing FSP’s independent digital product and technology capabilities alongside them.
Own and execute FSP’s AI adoption strategy, evaluating and deploying AI solutions that improve agent productivity, streamline operations, and enhance member engagement across all seven channels.
This is a hands-on leadership role at a company where technology, digital innovation, and AI-enabled capabilities are central to our competitive strategy and future growth.

Define and own FSP’s digital product roadmap across all distribution channels, tied directly to revenue and growth objectives

-
Assess and document the API and integration architecture of FSP’s core insurance sales platform within 60 days of joining, establishing the technical foundation for FSP’s independent build agenda
-
Establish and maintain a lightweight, disciplined product development process: requirements, build, QA, release, and continuous improvement cycle
-
Represent FSP’s technology strategy in credit union partner conversations, board-level briefings, and executive leadership discussions

-
Technical depth sufficient to assess API architecture, write integration requirements, evaluate developer work, and make credible build-vs-buy-vs-request decisions independently
-
Communication and presence to represent FSP credibly in partner technical sessions, credit union executive conversations, and board-level briefings.
