About the Role
We're looking for a Product Manager who is analytical, curious, and user-obsessed. You'll own a product area end to end, work with engineering, design, and business teams, ground decisions in data, and ship products that move key metrics. You'll be especially strong at diagnosing what's happening in the product and why.
What You'll Do
- Build and own the product strategy and roadmap for your area: set the vision, identify growth opportunities, and align the roadmap with business goals.
- Define success metrics and North Star metrics, build dashboards, and track funnels, retention, and adoption.
- Run root cause analyses (RCA) on metric movements, drop-offs, and user issues, and turn findings into clear action items.
- Use design thinking to frame problems, conduct user interviews, map journeys, and validate ideas before building.
- Prioritize the backlog and make trade-offs between impact, effort, and risk.
- Lead the full product cycle with engineering and design, from discovery to launch to iteration.
- Design and analyze A/B tests and conduct post-launch reviews.
- Synthesize user feedback, support tickets, and market insights into product opportunities.
- Align stakeholders across business, risk, operations, and leadership, and mentor junior PMs or APMs.
What We're Looking For
- 3–5 years of product management experience, with at least one product taken from idea to launch and scaled.
- Strong strategic thinking, with the ability to build a product vision and multi-quarter roadmap, size opportunities, and make clear bets backed by data and market context.
- Strong analytical skills, with proficiency in SQL and analytics tools such as Mixpanel, Amplitude, Metabase, Looker, or similar platforms.
- A structured approach to RCA, with the ability to break down ambiguous problems and separate signal from noise.
- Proven ability to define the right metrics, including North Star and input metrics, and use them to drive decisions.
- Strong product sense and prioritization, with the ability to own outcomes rather than just deliver features.
- Clear written and verbal communication, and the ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders.
- A bachelor's degree in any discipline; engineering, business, or design backgrounds are welcome.
Good to Have
- Experience in fintech, lending, or credit products.
- Experience launching new products or entering new customer segments (0 to 1).
- Experience mentoring or managing junior PMs.
