The Role: Building an ecommerce marketplace that helps Americans build credit

We’re building a brand-new Site Merchandising function and need a Manager who can pair conversion-rate grit with data-driven creativity to turn a multi-billion-dollar marketplace into a world-class shopping experience. You will be the cornerstone in driving both short-term and long-term plans that achieve key business and financial goals through impactful campaigns and events. Beyond simply executing, you will bring a strong analytical mindset and a deep sense of curiosity, constantly seeking data-driven insights that will guide decisions and fuel innovation. This combination of analytical rigor and curiosity will empower you to push boundaries and optimize strategies effectively.

As our standard keeper, you will ensure that high standards for content quality and consistency are not only established but also maintained across every touchpoint. You’ll be responsible for transforming assortment, customer acquisition, and customer development strategies into compelling on-site experiences that truly resonate with our customers. This includes creating a detailed merchandising calendar, setting and upholding content standards, prioritizing SKU builds, collaborating with product teams on site enhancements, partnering with marketing to achieve customer-related goals, and leading efforts to test and implement new functionality with precision. Your role is vital in ensuring that we build good habits while constantly striving for excellence in everything we do.

Our greatest strength is our people and we’d love for you to be one of them!

  • Own collaboration: Lead weekly syncs with Product, Marketing, and Category teams, driving action items and reporting outcomes
  • Chart the future: Present a 12-month site-merch roadmap—promo playbook, search upgrades, content scale plan—to leadership for approval
