Job description

At Aplazo, our mission is to empower financial access, opportunity and freedom, by connecting people and businesses in Latin America, through fair, simple, and transparent financial solutions.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a curious, analytical, and execution-driven Associate Product Manager to join our Emerging Business team.

This team is responsible for identifying, validating, and scaling new product lines and revenue streams beyond our core BNPL offering. You’ll operate at the intersection of product, growth, risk, partnerships, and analytics—helping take ideas from 0→1 and supporting early‑stage products through experimentation and iteration.

This is a high‑exposure role ideal for someone early in their product career who wants to learn how new fintech products are built, tested, and scaled in a fast‑paced environment.

What You’ll Do

• Support discovery and validation of new product initiatives (e.g., new credit products, payment experiences, service integrations, card products, etc.).
• Conduct user research, competitive analysis, and market benchmarking to inform product opportunities.
• Translate hypotheses into structured experiments (A/B tests, pilots, MVP launches).
• Partner with Risk, Growth, Finance, Operations, and Engineering to define requirements and launch early‑stage products.
• Write clear product requirement documents (PRDs), define acceptance criteria, and support backlog prioritization.
• Monitor KPIs for emerging products (adoption, activation, revenue, repayment behavior, retention, unit economics).
• Use SQL and analytics tools to analyze experiment results, user behavior, and product performance.
• Support go‑to‑market coordination including product positioning, internal enablement, and FAQ documentation.
• Identify operational bottlenecks and help design scalable processes before full product scale.
• Contribute to roadmap planning for near‑term bets and long‑term strategic opportunities.

Experience

What We’re Looking For:

• 2 years of experience in product management, strategy, consulting, growth, analytics, or fintech.
• Experience working in fast‑paced environments (startups, consulting firms, tech companies, fintech).
• Exposure to experimentation frameworks (A/B testing, MVP launches, pilot programs).
• Intermediate SQL skills (ability to extract and analyze data independently).
• Experience working cross‑functionally with technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

Skills

• Strong analytical thinking; comfortable working with data to support decisions.
• Structured problem‑solving skills; able to break ambiguous problems into actionable steps.
• Ability to define clear hypotheses and measurable success criteria.
• Strong written communication; can write concise PRDs and executive summaries.
• High attention to detail with strong organizational skills.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and changing priorities.

Mindset

• Builder mentality: excited about launching new products from scratch.
• Ownership‑driven: take responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks.
• Curious and hypothesis‑led: ask “why” and validate with data.
• Bias for action: move fast, test quickly, iterate.
• Resilient: comfortable with failure as part of experimentation.
• Collaborative: work well across Risk, Growth, Finance, and Engineering.

Languages

• Spanish
• English (Advanced)

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a high‑growth fintech company redefining the payments space for millions of users and thousands of businesses.
• Lead impactful projects that shape the future of BNPL and payments in LATAM, with direct visibility to leadership.
• Work in a culture that values innovation, autonomy, and continuous learning.
• Competitive salary, benefits, and opportunities for career advancement.
