Job description

About Slope

Slope is building the infrastructure to power B2B commerce with embedded capital. Backed by Sam Altman, Y Combinator, Union Square Ventures, J.P. Morgan, and Notable Capital, we power financing directly inside platforms like IKEA and ShipBob — turning capital into a seamless part of day-to-day workflows.

We’re at a pivotal growth moment. As we expand into some of the largest commerce ecosystems in the world, we’re looking for an experienced and hands-on Head of Product Growth to lead activation and expansion efforts across our platform partners. This role will be the first Product hire in the organization. It’s expected that this leader rolls up sleeves, works with customers, runs the experiments, and improves the product early on, and over time, they will have the opportunity to build a strong product team. Your mission: turn platform traffic into approved and funded businesses — and help them grow.

What You’ll Own

As Slope continues to scale, we’re looking for a highly analytical, experienced and hands-on Head of Product Growth to lead the activation, engagement, and expansion of our most strategic platform partners. Sitting at the intersection of post-sale success and product growth, this role is key to ensuring that our partners not only go live seamlessly, but also continue to unlock value from Slope over time. You’ll work cross-functionally with our Product, Engineering, Partnerships, and Ops teams to drive successful launches, deepen usage, and uncover new growth opportunities.

Activation & Onboarding

• Design and iterate on onboarding flows that guide users from discovery → signup → approval → funding

• Collaborate with engineering and design to remove friction and reduce time-to-value across key product journeys
  

Conversion & Expansion

• Develop and test product levers across pricing, pre-qualification, messaging, and re-engagement

• Identify pathways to deeper partner penetration and account expansion via data-driven insights and targeted product strategies
  

Analytics & Experimentation

• Build and own the end-to-end funnel — analyze drop-off points, propose hypotheses, and run A/B tests to drive improvements

• Work with data tools like SQL, Metabase, and Sheets to uncover patterns and prioritize opportunities

• Monitor partner health through product usage, engagement metrics, and risk indicators—then take action to improve them.
  

Cross-Functional Execution

• Partner with Engineering, GTM, Risk, Customer Success, and Platform Partners to translate insights into shipped product

• Close the loop on performance by bringing back learnings from customer conversations and partner feedback into the roadmap

• Act as a strategic advisor to partners by understanding their business models, vertical-specific challenges, and growth goals.
  

Systems & Tooling

• Identify gaps in internal workflows and tooling that slow down activation or expansion — and work cross-functionally to fix them

• Contribute to building scalable systems (dashboards, playbooks, automation) to enable more efficient partner launches
  

Who You Are

• 10+ years of experience in product, growth, or product ops, ideally in fintech, B2B platforms, or embedded financial products

• Customer and user obsessed - in order to activate and engage customers you need to deeply understand their challenges and needs to design product solutions to address them

• Deep experience owning funnel metrics and optimizing for activation, conversion, or engagement

• Strong product instincts — you think in user flows and aren’t afraid to dive into the details

• Data-fluent: confident working with SQL or similar tools to uncover insights and measure impact

• Action-oriented, outcome-driven, and energized by solving hard problems quickly

• Hands-on leader who’s comfortable rolling up sleeves and do the work themselves (you will be #1 hire in Product Team and over time have an opportunity to build team)

• Strong communicator and collaborator — you can align teams and move fast across functions. Strong ability to build trust and influence across a variety of partner stakeholders—from operators to C-suite.

• Bonus: experience working with APIs, platform ecosystems, or lending products
  

Why This Role, Why Now

• We’re live with top-tier platforms and scaling fast — growth is no longer about just adding partners, but unlocking value from day one

• This is a founder-style seat: full ownership of a business-critical funnel at a company defining the future of B2B commerce

• You’ll be part of a tight-knit, high-context team that moves fast, ships often, and wins together
