Yes, you can build an exciting business AND have real-life real-customer impact.

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.

This is a full-time position in our San Francisco HQ with benefits and equity in a fast-moving and fast-growing environment that will help you grow your abilities and career as you help build a better ecosystem of credit for our customers.

What you can expect in this role:

• Look deeply at the data and talk to users to find what engages them and create engagement loops using content and experiences that leverage product, comms and alert touch points.
• Constantly develop and experiment on experiences and types of content that will keep users hooked.
• Drive strategic insights that shape roadmaps for engineering, design and marketing using data and user stories to build conviction.
• Explore our data and users to create interesting segments and relevant insights and content to drive a virtuous loop of engagement.
• 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.

What will help make you successful:

• Excellent writing and communication skills to communicate both with users and internally to drive strategy, learning and iteration.
• Readiness to roll up your sleeves in all parts of the content journey from copy to setting up comms and product touch points to measuring and interpreting results.
