Our mission to deliver honest financial products that improve lives extends beyond borders. Consumers across the globe need safe, transparent financing. Our retail partners need Affirm to be there for them, wherever that might be. To help achieve this vision, we are expanding our product lines and becoming a global company. We’re just getting started, and we’re looking for a strong product leader to take on this big challenge!
As a Group Product Manager on the Card Issuing Platform team, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of consumer financial services, commerce, and payments, specifically in how our users can use Affirm’s products anywhere card instruments are accepted. The Card Issuing Platform team is responsible for building the issuing programs that enable our merchants, wallet partners, and Affirm Card users to leverage Affirm’s financial products through the card networks. We do this by scaling our issuing programs and solving challenging closed end lending use cases in a revolving environment. You will work closely with cross-functional teams including Engineering, Product Analytics, Finance, Partnerships, other Product teams, external issuing partners, and more to define and build solutions that improve and scale Affirm’s virtual and physical card capabilities, driving a direct impact on key business goals. You should be outcomes driven with a very high bias for action and are undaunted by multiple dependencies both internal and external.
