After reading through some of the job descriptions, I get an impression that there's a disconnect between what job posters want and what an actual wildcard might be. Can't quite put my finger on it, but the following doesn't really feel like they're looking for someone potentially chaotic.

> Manage products from concept to design, requirements, testing, pricing, promotion, and support.

> Prioritize thousands of bugs and feature requests using a ruthless focus on both quantitative and qualitative criteria towards defined goals

> 5+ years of SaaS product management experience working within the financial sector

I get that's for a Senior position, but let's be real, they're looking for someone with specific skills in a specific domain that have been applied in a somewhat linear fashion for years. Is my impression off?

Your FAQ describes someone who might be doing a tradeshow one week, while probably not also being responsible for programming some feature, nor do they have unlimited time and energy. But those job postings read like they just want someone to be responsible for everything all the time, because everything is arbitrarily urgent, and manage it well.

I don't know quite what I'd expect to see, maybe I'm just too far gone from being in a job, but I feel like just short term contracting might be the thing to do.
