WHAT YOU'LL BRING
Required
8+ years of product management experience, with at least 5 years in a senior or staff-level role
Demonstrated experience building and scaling consumer mobile apps — ideally at a company that's gone through a platform inflection point.
Deep expertise in Android and/or iOS product development: navigation patterns, mobile architecture, performance, and app store operations.
Strong background in fintech, consumer financial services, or a similarly regulated, data-intensive domain.
Proven ability to translate ambiguous strategic goals into clear roadmaps, sharp prioritization decisions, and measurable outcomes.
Demonstrated capability to define instrumentation events, execute phased rollouts, and measure metrics
Exceptional cross-functional influencer across engineering, design, data, risk, and operations — without relying on formal authority.

Nice to have
Experience with multi-app or platform-level product architecture — particularly secured/unsecured or credit lifecycle product models.
Background in emerging markets, LATAM, or building products for underbanked consumer segments.
Hands-on experience with app store optimization, growth loops, or engagement and retention product mechanics.
SQL fluency or equivalent ability to self-serve product insights from data.

WHY THIS ROLE, WHY NOW
You'll have genuine ownership, executive partnership, and the opportunity to shape a platform that millions of people rely on for their financial lives. If you've built great consumer apps before and want to apply that craft where it really matters, this is that role.
