Build the Future of Lending As a Senior Product Manager, you will shape and scale modern lending products inside a regulated banking environment - rethinking how loans are originated, decisioned, and delivered.

Who You Are • 5+ years in product management, ideally within fintech, lending, embedded finance, or regulated financial services. • Direct experience with consumer or commercial lending programs, including familiarity with loan origination, underwriting workflows, and servicing lifecycles. • Demonstrated understanding of government-guaranteed lending programs (e.g., SBA 7(a), 504, USDA) and commercial lending products such as working capital and equipment finance. • Experience supporting or building fintech lending products, including partnerships with third-party originators, embedded lending platforms, or BaaS lending models. • A strategic thinker who sees systems, not just features. • Comfortable working with AI, APIs, automation tools, and modern product platforms. • Energized by ambiguity and motivated by building products that meaningfully change how work gets done. • Able to challenge assumptions and think beyond traditional banking processes. • Outcome-driven and intellectually curious. • Collaborative and influential across executive, technical, and operational audiences.
