Group Product Management Manager

Affirm is hiring a Group Product Management Manager to lead a portfolio of zero-to-one product initiatives, owning product vision, strategy, roadmaps, and hands-on development. The role partners with the CEO and cross-functional teams to build, launch, and scale new financial products and platforms.

Responsibilities:

• Build a deep understanding of Affirm’s global network of users, merchants, and partners
• Connect customer insights and market trends to long-term company strategy to identify where zero-to-one innovation can drive outsized impact
• Track relevant product, technology, and industry shifts and use them to inform product direction
• Partner with the CEO and senior leaders to define problem spaces and opportunity areas that matter most for Affirm’s future
• Craft a clear product vision and strategic narrative for the innovation portfolio, translating that into a focused and prioritized roadmap
• Define crisp outcomes and success metrics tied directly to business impact (GMV, profitability, conversion, retention, long-term moat)
• Drive the full lifecycle for new products and platforms: discovery, validation, MVP definition, launch, and iteration
• Own the full UI/UX, using AI tools to build and iterate on working prototypes that make product ideas tangible and testable
• Write and refine customer-facing copy across the product experience, from onboarding to in-product guidance
• Independently analyze customer behavior, build funnels, and use data to identify opportunities and guide product decisions
• Own experimentation end to end, including hypotheses, test design, success metrics, results analysis, and iteration
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to sync ZT1 roadmaps with core product roadmaps, ensuring high product quality, an aligned user experience, and cohesive business results
• Lead a cross-functional group (engineering, design, data, risk, capital, operations, revenue, legal and compliance) through ambiguous and complex work
• Serve as a thought partner to the CEO and executive team on new product bets, tradeoffs, and prioritization
• Communicate clearly and often - framing decisions, risks, and tradeoffs; writing high-quality docs; and maintaining alignment across teams
• Establish product patterns, decision frameworks, and execution standards that make zero-to-one work repeatable and scalable
• Model strong product thinking, rigor, and judgment for senior peers without managing them directly
• Help shape the culture and operating model of the ZT1 function

Requirements:

• ~8–10+ years of product management experience with a strong track record shipping and scaling consumer-facing or platform products
• Previous ownership of technical software products end-to-end and ability to clearly articulate the business impact
• Direct experience leading zero-to-one or highly ambiguous product areas with meaningful outcomes
• Experience working closely with engineering, data, design, and other teams without direct authority
• Skilled at operating in complex environments where success depends on coordinating cross-functional work across multiple groups
• Hands-on fluency with AI tools for prototyping, design, content, and analysis, with the judgment to evaluate and refine the output
• Comfortable doing the work directly without dedicated design, analytics, or content partners
• Strong communicator capable of securing alignment and decisions from broad groups of senior stakeholders with differing priorities
• Adept at influencing engineering teams outside your reporting line - able to guide them toward building what the product needs
• High judgment in ambiguous spaces - able to take incomplete or conflicting information and turn it into a clear, actionable plan
• Strong commercial instincts - able to contribute to pitches, negotiations, and contract evaluations when product work intersects with business strategy
• Bias toward action; cares about unblocking teams and driving meaningful progress quickly
• Comfortable moving between strategy and execution - from long-term roadmap thinking to writing specs or digging into edge cases
• Strong organizational discipline and interpersonal skills, able to navigate complex dynamics while maintaining momentum
• Deep sense of ownership - holds a high bar for quality and ships products on time
• Mission-driven and customer-obsessed, motivated to build honest, transparent financial products
• Founder or early-stage startup experience is a plus. Ability to spot opportunities, build from scratch, test quickly, and take ownership of outcomes
