About the Role
We're looking for a Director of Product who knows credit cards well and can take our existing programs to the next level. You'll set direction on card economics and pricing, manage key partners like Visa and our issuer bank, and coach the product managers in the credit card space. You'll bring the strategic judgment and the math, and you'll deliver clear recommendations. You'll also support the graduation of customers from the Credit Builder Account (CBA) to the card.
What you'll do
- Lead the Credit Card vertical's product strategy (including customer-facing features and the credit card platform), partnering with leadership to shape portfolio-level bets that balance growth, profitability, customer experience, and regulatory compliance
- Translate strategy into a prioritized roadmap and clear requirements for your engineering team, while acting as a mentor and multiplier for PMs across the department
- Partner with Finance, Risk, and Analytics to drive the card unit economics model and forecast, supplying the inputs that keep our forecasting accurate
- Manage vendor and card network relationships (Visa, CPI)
- Manage issuer bank relationships, including program terms, reviews, and change approvals
- Turn analysis into clear recommendations and get buy-in from executives, peers, and external partners
What You Bring
- 10+ years in product, strategy, or P&L roles in consumer credit, with 5+ in credit cards or consumer lending
- Direct P&L (or equivalent economics) ownership of a card or lending product
- Fluency in card economics: interchange, APR and fee mix, credit losses, vendor and acquisition costs, and LTV
- Working knowledge of credit risk and underwriting, with the ability to partner with and challenge Risk
- A record of setting product direction and getting buy-in from executives, peers, and external partners
- Experience leading through influence and coaching senior individual contributors without formal authority
- Comfort in a regulated environment: UDAAP, fair lending, CFPB, and bank partner oversight
- SQL or hands-on data analysis skills, plus experience running experiments
- Strong customer instincts, especially for credit-builders
What Separates You
- Experience with secured, near-prime, or subprime card portfolios
- Sponsor or issuer bank and card network experience
- Pricing and product evaluation experience (rewards, fee structures) with economics sizing
- Experience at a scaling fintech
- A point of view on AI in the PM workflow, and experience driving team adoption
Benefits & Perks
- Generous health, dental, and vision insurance coverage
- Employer-paid benefits including life, disability, and cost-containment resources
- Hybrid work arrangement
- Flexible vacation
- Company performance-based bonuses
- Paid parental leave
- Company equity in the form of stock options
- Education reimbursement program
