Own the roadmap for our flagship account opening product
Ship fast—hand off your first spec to engineering within 7 days
Work closely with design and engineering to build secure, reliable features
Use data, feedback, and market insights to inform decisions

Who you are, and the experience we’re looking for:
Fintech experience: 5–7+ years of product management experience, ideally in fintech. Strong understanding of financial services, particularly banking, lending, or payments.
End-to-end ownership: You’ve taken products from 0 → 1 and scaled them. Comfortable navigating the full lifecycle: discovery, launch, iteration, and scale.

Customer-first & analytical: You think deeply about user journeys and can distill insights from customer interviews, data, and intuition. You use metrics to drive product decisions and experimentation.
Startup mindset: You thrive in ambiguity, love high ownership, and bias toward action. You’ve shipped in high-growth, early-stage environments.
What will make you stand out as a candidate:
AI experience: Exposure to AI-powered automation, decisioning, or workflow tooling.
Understanding of the banking ecosystem: Familiarity with core banking systems, credit unions, and the broader US banking landscape.
