Senior Product Manager, Card Platform

Remote US

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.

The Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) team plays a pivotal role in Affirm’s mission of delivering honest financial products that improve lives. Our consumer card products give people access to transparent financing options everywhere they need them, and help us earn enduring, direct relationships with our customers. As a Senior Product Manager on our Open Loop Issuing team, you’ll be at the forefront of Affirm’s rapidly expanding card business. In this role, you will own the user experience and connective tissue between the card network event lifecycle and Affirm’s consumer credit products. This is the secret sauce that enables consumers to seamlessly access Affirm’s unique BNPL financing options via familiar everyday card products like the Affirm Debit Card, Apple Pay Later, and more.

You will shape the future of consumer finance at a pivotal time in the company’s journey, tackling one of the most strategically significant product areas with the full support of a deeply experienced and committed team. As the “brain” of Affirm’s card product portfolio, our Open Loop Issuing Platform grants an uncommon opportunity for our Open Loop PMs to multiply the reach of a single product solution across all card products, channels, and geographies. We are looking for an uncommonly talented Senior Product Manager that thrives on challenge, innovates fearlessly, and sees every obstacle as a chance to create something extraordinary. 

You will be tasked with maximizing integrated card synergies through platform solutions to solve customer problems shared across products, channels, and geographies to make every card swipe with Affirm simple, seamless, and delightful. Your product solutions will touch the lives of millions of people, and billions of transaction dollars. Affirm is making a big bet on cards, and we need your help delivering on this next chapter of our journey!

 

What you'll do

  • Deliver exceptional card experiences. Own the end-to-end product lifecycle to deliver seamless integration between Affirm’s loan products and the card networks, so everything works exactly how users expect. This challenge of fitting BNPL loans onto the existing debit and credit card rails is unique to Affirm, and it’s a critical part of scaling our card business.
  • Get into the data. Work with analytics and engineering to define and drill down into key metrics, generating insights that inform the roadmap and achieve business goals. This is a data-heavy problem space, and you’ll roll up your sleeves and help us make sense of it all.
  • Champion our users. Build deep empathy for users of Affirm’s card products, bringing their pain points to light and relentlessly working to improve their experiences.
  • Be a card expert. Develop a deep understanding of consumer behavior, market trends, and competitive landscape in the industry. Use this knowledge to inform product decisions and identify new opportunities.
  • Build for scale. Guide the product direction with the big picture in mind, creating scalable solutions that can support a growing array of products and channels.
  • Be a leader. Lead the roadmap and strategy for our open loop BNPL products, influencing and getting buy-in from a diverse group of stakeholders and leadership.

  • Other important factors we’ll assess:
    • Excellent analytical skills with the ability to translate data insights into actionable strategies.
    • Uncompromising and relentless customer-centricity.
    • Strong product intuition that enables you to sniff-out root causes to problems with minimal information, identify high ROI product opportunities ahead of the curve, and foresee with high accuracy product and business outcomes through a mastery of product fundamentals, and mythical-levels of customer empathy rooted in a strong grasp and application of behavioral economics principles
    • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex ideas to diverse audiences..
    • Solid technical chops that allow you to meaningfully contribute to in-depth technical discussions, and enable you to develop strong trust and credibility with your engineering partners.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
