About this role

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're a Series C fintech company building modern banking infrastructure purpose-built for small and independent businesses. Our platform gives hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs the tools they need to manage cash flow, move money, and run their finances — all in one place.

We're hiring a Product Manager, Banking to own and scale our core banking experience: the accounts, money movement, cards, and program infrastructure that underpin everything we do. This is a high-impact, senior IC role at the heart of our product — you'll set strategy, drive the roadmap, and ship reliable, secure financial products in a regulated environment, working hand-in-hand with Engineering, Design, Risk, Compliance, and external banking partners.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Own the strategy, roadmap, and execution for core banking products — including deposit accounts, money movement, cards, and the underlying program infrastructure

- Lead the end-to-end experience for account opening, funding, deposits, and money-movement flows (ACH, wires, transfers, bill pay, and card transactions)

- Partner closely with Engineering on the ledger, payments rails, and card systems that power those flows

- Run a rigorous, cohort-based discovery process grounded in customer research and usage data to surface the highest-impact opportunities

- Write clear, detailed product specs; define success metrics; and ship reliable, secure features on a predictable cadence with Engineering and Design

- Embed risk, fraud, security, and regulatory requirements into the product process from day one — partnering with Risk, Compliance, and Legal at every stage

- Manage product relationships and integrations with banking partners and key third-party vendors

- Define and track product metrics across activation, engagement, retention, multi-product adoption, and reliability

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Required

- 7+ years of progressive product management experience owning complex, technical, or platform products — specifically in fintech, financial services, banking, or payments

- Demonstrable track record of shipping customer-facing products in a high-growth, regulated environment involving money movement, payments, cards, deposits, or other financial infrastructure

- Hands-on experience with end-to-end banking product areas: deposits, money movement rails (ACH, wires, transfers, bill pay), onboarding/account opening flows, and card programs

- Strong understanding of banking and fintech fundamentals, including security, fraud prevention, and regulatory considerations

- Proven ability to write clear product specs and partner effectively with Engineering and Design to ship features

- Strong analytical skills with fluency in product and cohort data; ability to define and track meaningful success metrics

- Experience partnering with Risk, Compliance, and Legal to ship within regulatory constraints

- Bachelor's degree in business, engineering, finance, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)

- Must be authorized to work in the United States — visa sponsorship is not available for this role

- Experience managing product relationships and integrations with banking partners and third-party vendors

- Familiarity with ledger systems and core banking infrastructure

- Background in small business or SMB-focused financial products
