Wealthfront is looking for a Senior Product Manager to support product development for our Cash Account. The Wealthfront Cash Account is an account that delivers a high yield and $8M FDIC insurance through partner banks. Since its launch in 2019, we’ve continued to lead the way in delivering a best-in-class place for clients to hold their cash savings, adding checking features, free same day transfers, free wire transfers, custom sub-account categories, automated savings rules, fast investing and an innovative APY boost referral program. This product is a foundational pillar of our vision to make it delightfully easy for our clients to grow their wealth in any market condition - we’re just getting started.
In this role, you’ll partner with the Cash Product Lead and a high-performing cross-functional team to deliver the features and benefits our clients are demanding most. This includes the continued development of our money management features to make it delightfully easy for our clients to understand and manage their cash savings, ultimately encouraging more of them to adopt Wealthfront as their primary day-to-day operating account. You’ll use quantitative and qualitative research to drive high quality product decision-making that results in successful products. The role requires analytical rigor and a willingness to get into the details to understand our existing systems and partners as well as new technological capabilities that can be applied to deliver great consumer experiences. Success in this role requires a healthy balance of executional excellence and strategic thinking.
This is a unique opportunity to rethink traditional financial products from the ground up, using software to offer superior product experiences that help our clients get more out of their money. If this gets you excited, we want to hear from you!

You:

  • 4+ years of Product Management experience in a consumer software company; experience in building financial technology products is a plus.
  • Willing to get into the details to drive high-quality decision-making. You’re first and foremost an exceptional product thinker.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills with an ability to quickly command trust and drive alignment with executives and partners.
  • Analytical mindset with a data-driven approach to problem solving and decision-making.
  • Strong product sense. You’re passionate about building delightful product experiences.
  • Experience working with complex or highly regulated products, especially those that depend on external partners to deliver the desired features.

Responsibilities:

  • Use customer and business insights to frame the most important problems and opportunities, and rally the team around developing the best ways to address them.
  • Define the product priorities and roadmap. Use data and good judgment to drive alignment around tradeoff decisions.
  • Partner with the Cash Product Lead to deliver the roadmap through agile sprint cycles.
  • Define success metrics and consistently measure the impact of the team’s work.
  • Work cross-functionally to take new products and features to market in a way that maximizes their success.
Estimated annual salary range: $170,000 - $200,000 USD plus equity and a discretionary bonus. Benefits include medical, vision, dental, 401K plan, generous time off, parental leave, wellness reimbursements, professional development, employee investing discount, and more!
About Wealthfront
Wealthfront started with the ambition to transform the investment advisory business, with the goal to unlock access to high quality investment advice for millions who were underserved by the traditional institutions. We built one of the first automated investment products that allows you to invest in a personalized portfolio of thousands of companies in seconds for a remarkably low fee. We then expanded. We now work with partner banks to offer exceptional banking features through a Wealthfront Brokerage Cash Account, which makes it remarkably easy for people to automate their finances end-to-end and eliminated the hassle of money management, all of which resulted in attracting more than $50 billion of our client’s hard earned money, pioneering the robo-advisor category and transforming the broader industry. And yet, we have a long way to go to achieve our mission to build a financial system that favors people, not institutions.
Wealthfront’s vision is to make it delightfully easy to build long-term wealth on your own terms. This vision is more relevant than ever because millions more people are getting into the market early and investing their hard earned savings in a handful of stocks. While this is a great way to start, it is inconsistent with building long-term wealth. We want to empower young investors to expand their horizon, and easily explore and execute on a wider range of investing strategies, make informed investment decisions that are consistent with their values and beliefs while also making it effortless to grow and compound their savings exponentially in a way that’s transformational to their lives and their long-term future.

We make it delightfully easy to build wealth. Which isn’t usually the case. Because other companies aren’t looking out for you, long-term.

If you try to do things yourself, you’re never sure if you’re making the right decisions.

If you use advisors, you’re never sure whether they’re making the best decisions for you... or for themselves.

Wealthfront levels the playing field. Because everyone deserves an equal chance to succeed.

Here’s how it all started. Meet Andy.

After a successful career as the co-founder of VC firm Benchmark Capital, Wealthfront co-founder Andy Rachleff kicked back into a relaxed retirement*.

Teaching technology entrepreneurship courses at Stanford Graduate School of Business.

Partnering with his wife and the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation to fund novel cancer research projects.

Sitting on the University of Pennsylvania Board of Trustees, his alma mater, where he was Vice Chairman of the university’s endowment investment committee.

At Stanford, entrepreneurs and students alike came to him for investing advice. But he often couldn’t recommend the services he used because the minimums were too high — especially for students.

He saw a need to democratize access to sophisticated investment products.

Meanwhile at U Penn, Andy found that even the best-managed endowments in the world relied on spreadsheets, outdated tools, and manual calculations. It turned out that even high-end investors needed an upgrade.

Andy’s tech expertise led to a breakthrough notion:

Software could make investing easier and better for more people.

Meet Dan Carroll.

Around this time, Dan Carroll was visiting his parents outside Chicago. They’d been hit hard by the financial crisis of 2008, and Dan, a former trader, was helping them assess the damage. He opened a statement from their financial advisor and was horrified.

He knew the deal — financial advisors make 90% of their revenue from the top 20% of their clients.

People like his parents didn’t get the attention they deserved — that they paid for.

It was clear to him most people didn’t have access to good financial advice.

And he decided to do something about it.

So he started tinkering with a few solutions. He eventually built a prototype that got some traction, and even got the attention of a lecturer at Stanford.

That’s when Andy called Dan.

But no, this isn’t the point in the story when Wealthfront was born. Dan thought VCs were [bleep], so he didn’t call back. He wasn’t about to sell out.

He was on a mission to do good.

Andy persisted, however, and eventually tracked Dan down. He explained that he’d already had a wildly successful career, so he wasn’t in it for greed. He simply wanted more people to have the same investing advantages that he had.

The two realized they not only shared a mission — to help democratize access to sophisticated financial advice — they agreed that software could unlock great investing for everyone. So they gathered some of the best technical minds they knew.

That was the day Wealthfront was formed.
