Humbly Confident Product Manager

Application Deadline: 23 March 2025

Department: Product

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: Remote

Compensation: $120,000 - $155,000 / year

Description

We’re YNAB (“why-nab”), a financial education company with a spendfulness app that helps people all over the world spend their money (guilt-free!) on what matters most to them. For over 20 years, YNAB’s proven method has been changing lives—and people can’t stop telling their friends about the difference it’s made for them. Think: debt paid off, marriages strengthened, goals achieved, stress erased, and sleep finally restored. But don’t just take our word for it—dive into our vibrant communities on Facebook, TikTok, and Reddit (really!) or skim through our glowing app reviews. You’ll quickly see why people rave about YNAB and why we’re so passionate about creating something that truly changes lives for the better.

That’s no small task for our product teams, who navigate incredibly complex problems ranging from the psychology of spending money to the intricacies of Open Banking legislation. We have an entire product group dedicated solely to elevating “spendful” experiences in our app, and we’re excited to hire another Product Manager to join that effort. You’re the person we’re looking for if you’re passionate about helping more YNABers eliminate second-guessing about their spending, in less time and with less friction than ever before.We have five hard requirements for this role—you must:

• Have at least five years of experience as a Product Manager.
• Be well versed in user-facing product work, particularly with cross-platform B2C SaaS applications.
• Have a deep love for cross-functional product development (we really mean that cross-functional part!).
• Have an interest in and facility with AI tools—prompt wizardry, custom GPTs, and fast prototyping are all tools in your tool box. You don’t just use AI to help you do your job, you harness it to 10x your skills and impact.
• Live somewhere between the Pacific Time Zone (UTC-8) and the Central European Time Zone (UTC+1). (Think of a world map moving left to right from PT to CET—those time zones are all OK.)

Beyond that, we’re open-minded. We value a diversity of experience and skills at YNAB, and every career path is different. That said, it may help you be successful in this role if you also have experience with things like:

• Complex, data-rich applications; mature codebases; the psychology of habit formation; fintech; wellness applications; remote, distributed teams; Continuous Discovery Habits; quantitative and qualitative research best-practices (usability testing, interviews, A/B tests, prototypes, etc.) cross-platform release planning and execution.

That’s a super brief intro to what we’re looking for. But first, you need to know if you’ll even like working with us. We’d love to share more about YNAB, and then we’ll get into (many) more details about this role and how to apply.

YNAB was founded in 2004 and we haven’t taken on any outside funding—we’re established, profitable, and in this for the long haul. We have one overarching requirement when it comes to joining our team: our original Core Value Manifesto has to really click with you. If you’re nodding emphatically while reading it, you’ll probably really like it here, and we can’t wait to hear from you!

We live our Core Values every day at YNAB, and we mean it when we say we are an equal-opportunity employer. We believe that a diversity of backgrounds, abilities, beliefs, and experiences is critical to our success, and we are passionate about creating a welcoming, supportive, and collaborative environment for all employees. All are encouraged to apply as we continue to grow a smart, hard-working, and diverse team that loves working together to build something that matters.

We also work really hard, together, to make working at YNAB an amazing experience, and we’re (humbly) proud to have received many of Fortune's "great place to work" awards over the last several years, including #1 two years in a row! We have a team full of truly exceptional pe
