Staff Product Manager, Capital Markets & Bank Partnerships

Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest.

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!

Capital is the lifeblood of Affirm. Without consistent access to liquidity for the loans we create, Affirm simply wouldn’t function. And as Affirm continues its rapid growth, it’s critical for the company to scale its funding capacity and loan origination capabilities to support the growing billions of dollars in loans that Affirm underwrites every year.

That’s where Capital Product comes in. The Capital Product team is responsible for conceiving, designing, and building the next generation of tools, systems, and processes required to scale Affirm’s intricate Capital Markets and Loan Origination operations. 

We’re looking for an outstanding product manager who is not bound to the existing paradigms of traditional banks. You’ll drive innovative solutions while partnering with diverse internal stakeholders across capital markets, bank partnerships, treasury, strategic finance, and accounting functions. You are comfortable working with engineers in a technology driven agile environment. And most of all, you are motivated by a desire to reimagine how consumer financial services should operate, supporting Affirm’s mission to deliver honest financial products that improve lives.
