Product Manager - job 1 of 2

An ideal member of the product team likes to roll their sleeves up and dive in.  You might conduct user interviews, dig in the database, wireframe in Miro, and dogfood the latest mobile app release, all before lunch.  Because you're passionate about solving deeply personal financial problems for consumers, you will do whatever it takes to find the right solutions.  You'll also work collaboratively within your dedicated product team that includes design and engineering, as well as cross-functionally with marketing, legal, operations, leadership and whoever else you need to get it done.  You won't stop until the data tells you it's right.

What you can expect in this role:

• Take direction from leadership regarding the key objectives your team needs to drive, but outline a roadmap with your product team to achieve successful outcomes, together.

• Drive the discovery process to form a deep understanding of our users and to uncover the products and features that will best empower those consumers.

• Reach beyond instinct alone to capture and analyze the right data to allow you to make the most informed decisions as you continue to evolve your approach.

• Champion your products within your team, across the company, and with consumers.

What will help make you successful:

• You have empathy for consumers and a passion for solving consumer problems in new and innovative ways.

• You feel comfortable in the driver's seat and have a natural way of knowing how to get to the destination, but also know when it's time for others to drive.

• You've worked on successful digital consumer products for at least 2 years, preferably in a fast-paced startup environment.

• You can wear as many hats as necessary including researcher, interface designer, analyst, and friend.

• An interest in and/or history working on modern consumer financial tools and products, with your own perspective on how best to innovate in this space
