Manager, Strategic Sourcing – Vendor Management

• Own the category narrative. Define the category Affirm is building, what it is and how the space should be understood, and ensure that through-line holds whether someone encounters it in a press story, an earnings call, or a policy conversation.
• Develop and maintain messaging frameworks. Guide how Affirm talks about credit, financial experience, and consumer protection.
• Partner with Legal, Policy, and Product. Ensure the category narrative reflects how the product actually works and keeps pace as it evolves, framing new capabilities in the context of the broader credit ecosystem — and push for language that's both legally sound and narratively strong.
• Proactively build consumer clarity. Identify where confusion has eroded trust and turn those friction points into brand opportunities.
• Keep the narrative current. Work closely with cross-functional partners to identify when the consumer financial narrative needs to evolve, and lead the process of updating it when it does.
• Stay ahead of the conversation. Identify the conversations shaping the future of payments that we want to enter and lead, and monitor the media, policy, and competitive landscape for narrative risks and opportunities before they become obvious.
• Support high-visibility moments. Bring the narrative infrastructure to earnings, policy milestones, and category-defining press, ensuring Affirm shows up with a clear, consumer-centered point of view.
• Adapt the narrative for global markets. Ensure Affirm's forward-looking narrative translates across markets with different cultural contexts around credit and lending — consistent in belief, sensitive in perspective.
