Job description

Salary: Senior band: $150,000–$180,000 | Lead: $180,000–$220,000 + equity and benefits.

Stream is on a mission to bring financial wellbeing to all workers.

We partner with some of the world's most well-known employers, like Crate & Barrel, Driven Brands, General Electric, New Balance, Restaurant Brands International (RBI) and others, to give their teams access to fairer financial services. Over 3 million people track their shifts and earnings, start their first savings account, use budgeting tools, access financial education and choose when they want to get paid. All in one smartphone app.

Stream is unique: VC-backed and growing at scale-up pace, but with a social conscience. Some of the world's leading financial charities and impact funds were our founding investors.

You'd be joining a team of over 300 passionate, ambitious people across the UK, Europe and US, building a category-leading FinTech product with the mission to improve the lives of millions.

The Opportunity:

This isn’t a traditional PM role. Reporting into the US VP, Product, you’ll be the person responsible for owning, shipping, and localising Stream’s net-new products in the US market - from Wealth and flexible pay to AI-powered financial tools built specifically for frontline and everyday workers.

Stream’s US business is growing fast. The right person for this role will look at it and see not just a great job, but a seat at the table as this business scales toward its next chapter as a US leading workplace finance provider.

The Team:

You’ll work directly with a US engineering team, leading the product function with real autonomy. You’ll set the roadmap direction, drive MVPs from idea to launch at pace, and make the kind of decisions that matter. We’re not looking for someone who executes a vision handed to them. We’re looking for someone who has a vision of their own - and the conviction to ship it.

What will you be doing?

• Own the product roadmap for Stream’s US diversifying product suite.
• Lead the end-to-end launch of Stream’s first net-new products in the US market - from discovery and scoping to MVP, iteration, and scale.
• Work hands-on with the US engineering team to ship at high velocity, keeping things moving across time zones with clarity and urgency.
• Conduct deep consumer research to understand how frontline workers think about money, navigate benefits, and make financial decisions - and translate that into product.
• Explore AI-powered use cases for Stream’s audience: people who are currently underserved by the wave of AI tools being built for knowledge workers.
• Be the voice of the consumer inside the product team, pushing back on ideas that don’t serve the people we’re building for.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with US Analytics, Partnership Marketing, and other product teams to align on priorities and land products that work end-to-end.

What experience might you have? (But if you’re close… we'd still love to talk to you!)

• Years of product management experience, ideally in consumer-facing, regulated tech or fintech (but that’s not essential)
• A track record of shipping products that people actually use - not just managing roadmaps.
• Experience working in or with scale-ups: comfortable with ambiguity, fast cycles, and doing more with less.
• Genuine context around the US socio-economic landscape and the financial challenges facing low-income and frontline workers (benefits, credit, SNAP, and beyond).

The builder mentality

• You’ve used AI tools (Claude, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, or similar) to build and ship real things - whether professionally or on your own time. An MVP you’ve vibe-coded in an evening matters more to us than a perfect PRD.
• You think about distribution and adoption from day one, not as an afterthought. How does the product reach the right person, at the right moment in their life?
• You’re technically comfortable enough to earn the respect of an engineering team and have an intelligent conversation about how something gets built.

The Mindset

• You have opinions on design and consumer UX - strong ones - and you’re not afraid to voice them, even when it means pushing back on your manager.
• You care about social impact in a way that goes beyond values-on-a-wall. You’re genuinely interested in how financial products can move someone’s life forward.
• You’re ambitious and a little restless. You’re not looking for a job; you’re looking for a platform. When you hear that the person above you is grooming their own successor, your eyes light up.
• You don’t wait to be told what to do. You show up to meetings with a point of view and leave with the room aligned.

What success looks like:

3-6 months: Shape and launch new Stream financial tools. Product-market fit validated, iteration underway, and a clear pipeline of what ships next.

12 month: Independent ownership of core product categories. A high-velocity US product function that operates with minimal hand-holding. A roadmap the team believes in.

2 years: A recognised US product leader within Stream - and a credible successor to the VP, Product role as the business scales toward its next major milestone.

Working Policy: We operate a hybrid model, with 3 days in the Soho Office

What will we do for you?

• 20 Days vacation in addition to federal holidays, as well as flexible time off allowances for any ad-hoc childcare/family/caring needs
• 12 weeks paid Maternity Leave and 2 weeks paid Paternity Leave for employees with over 12 months service
• Health, dental and vision benefits (a number of these benefits are paid in full for the employee)
• We want to invest in you financially, so we have a 401K program
• And of course, the best benefit of all, access to Stream!

At Stream we celebrate and support our differences. We know employing a team rich in diverse thoughts, experiences, and opinions allows our employees, our product and our community to flourish. Stream is an equal opportunity workplace. We are dedicated to equal employment opportunities regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity/expression, or veteran status.
