Senior Technical Product Manager

Spinwheel is on a mission to reinvent how consumers manage debt and improve financial outcomes. They are hiring a Senior Technical Product Manager to define solutions based on customer needs and technical capabilities, writing specifications and building tools to enhance operational efficiency.

Responsibilities:

• Engage directly with customers and internal stakeholders to understand workflows and pain points, then translate them into precise technical requirements, data models, API behaviors, and integration patterns that engineering can act on without ambiguity
• Identify when a customer's stated request is a symptom of a deeper system problem, and define the right fix, not just the asked-for one
• Run structured discovery on technical and integration-layer problems, and build a point of view on what's worth solving next that you're ready to defend with evidence
• Build internal tools yourself, using AI-assisted development, no-code platforms, or lightweight scripting, to close operational gaps without waiting on engineering capacity
• Own the requirement lifecycle from discovery through acceptance: you write it, you validate it, you sign off on it
• Monitor product health and maintain the internal source of truth for how our products work, so engineering and clients aren't relying on tribal knowledge

Requirements:

• Have 5+ years in product management with real ownership of outcomes, not just outputs, including at least 2 years in product management in fintech (debt, payments, credit, or lending a strong plus)
• Can read an API spec, understand a data model, and write a requirement that reflects both, without needing an engineer to translate for you
• Have built something yourself, an internal tool, a script, an automated workflow, using AI assistance, no-code platforms, or lightweight code
• Can write clearly enough that specs don't get misread, and speak the language of engineering well enough to work as a true partner
• Are comfortable moving forward with incomplete information, and energized by figuring things out rather than waiting for a fully defined path
• Experience with credit data, consumer-permissioned financial data, or lending infrastructure
• Familiarity with FCRA, SOC 2, or PCI compliance in a product context
• Comfort with SQL, basic scripting, or workflow automation tools (Zapier, Make, etc.)
