About the role

  • Own the tracking and coordination of active product initiatives from kickoff through launch — maintaining timelines, flagging dependencies, and keeping stakeholders informed of progress and blockers
  • Run sprint rituals and cross-functional syncs: coordinate sprint planning, standup agendas, retrospectives, and milestone reviews in partnership with Engineering leads
  • Maintain a clear, up-to-date view of what the product team is working on, what's coming next, and what's at risk — so the Head of Product and CEO are never flying blind
  • Track open action items, decisions, and follow-ups from product and engineering meetings, ensuring nothing gets dropped between meetings
  • Act as a reliable bridge between product and engineering — translating priorities into clear asks, surfacing blockers early, and keeping both sides aligned without creating extra overhead
  • Coordinate with external merchant partners and technology vendors on integration timelines, documentation needs, and launch readiness — managing communication so product managers can stay focused on product decisions
  • Prepare and maintain project documentation: status updates, launch checklists, integration specs, and meeting recaps that give everyone a single source of truth
  • Help design and improve the operational processes that support product development as the team grows — from how we run standups to how we manage a product launch
  • Identify process gaps before they become friction points, and propose lightweight solutions that keep the team moving without adding bureaucracy
  • Support the product team in maintaining internal tools and documentation (Jira, Confluence, Notion, or equivalent), ensuring they reflect current reality and are actually useful

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience in project management, program management, product operations, or a closely adjacent role — ideally in fintech, SaaS, or financial services
  • Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams without dropping the ball — you are known for follow-through
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills — you can write a crisp status update, run a focused meeting, and translate between technical and non-technical audiences
  • Comfort working directly with engineering teams — you understand the software development lifecycle well enough to ask smart questions, identify blockers, and communicate timelines realistically
  • Experience coordinating with external partners or vendors: managing communication, tracking deliverables, and keeping integrations on schedule
  • Familiarity with fintech, lending, or financial services — enough context to understand why a feature matters and what's at stake when something slips
  • Organized, proactive, and low-drama — you anticipate problems before they escalate and communicate early.
Benefits
  • Health benefits
  • 401(k)
  • Flexible PTO
