• Develop a strong understanding of your product's economics and performance, partnering with Data, Finance, and Credit Risk to understand measures such as revenue, losses, delinquency, utilization, cost-to-serve, and other relevant financial outcomes.
• Partner deeply with Product Design and Research to turn complex financial concepts into customer experiences that are simple, intuitive, transparent, and trustworthy.
• Work closely with Engineering throughout discovery and delivery, making thoughtful tradeoffs across customer value, speed, technical complexity, scalability, and learning.
• Partner with Marketing, Growth, CRM, and other teams on positioning, go-to-market, onboarding, customer education, and lifecycle engagement for your product.
• Work with Credit Risk, Compliance, Legal, Finance, Treasury, and Operations to ensure regulatory, credit, operational, funding, and customer considerations are incorporated into product decisions.

• Explore appropriate uses of AI across the customer experience and your own ways of working, including opportunities to improve customer understanding, personalization, support, discovery, and team productivity.

• Experience defining and managing customer and business outcomes such as activation, conversion, adoption, engagement, retention, utilization, revenue, or customer satisfaction.
• Strong product judgment and the ability to make thoughtful tradeoffs among customer value, business outcomes, implementation complexity, risk, and speed.
• Strong cross-functional communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with Product Design, Engineering, Data, Marketing, Credit Risk, Compliance, Legal, Operations, Finance, and other partners.
• Comfort operating in a fast-moving environment with ambiguity, incomplete information, changing priorities, and a bias toward learning through action.
