Senior Director, Product Management (Financial Platforms)
for headings. Use - for lists. Use
for prose. Remove boilerplate.
We need to parse the posting.
First, there is an intro paragraph about Affirm mission. Then "About The Product Team". Then "About The Role". Then bullet list of responsibilities under "What You’ll Do". Then "What We Look For" with bullet list of qualifications. Then "Base Pay Grade - V Equity Grade - USA 21 ..." includes pay ranges. Then "Remote-first with flexibility built in". Then "Benefits Designed For You". Then some other paragraphs about interview process, accommodations, etc. We need to extract sections.
We need sections: About the role (should contain description of role). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (maybe qualifications). Qualifications (maybe separate). Skills (maybe technical fluency). Benefits (list). Pay (pay ranges). Schedule (maybe remote-first info). We must not create sections with filler.
Let's extract content.
About the role: The paragraph after "About The Role": "Our Financial Platform sits at the heart of every loan Affirm makes and every dollar we move. We're looking for a Senior Director of Product Management to lead and scale the teams behind two of our most critical and complex domains: Loans Lifecycle and Money Movement. This is a role for a seasoned product leader who thrives in the intersection of financial systems, platform engineering, and organizational scale."
We could also include preceding "About The Product Team"? That might be considered part of About the role? But heading "About the role" should contain role description. We'll include that paragraph.
Responsibilities: The bullet list under "What You’ll Do". Let's extract each bullet:
- Lead and grow a high-performing PM team. Build, mentor, and manage a team of 6–10 product managers, including people managers. You'll set the bar for craft, create development paths, and cultivate a culture of ownership, rigor, and candor.
- Own the vision and strategy for Loans Lifecycle and Money Movement. Define the multi-year product strategy for Affirm's foundational loan systems and global money movement infrastructure — ensuring they are scalable, compliant, and capable of supporting rapid product innovation. Translate that vision into clear roadmaps and decisions that teams can execute against.
- Be the domain authority. Serve as the executive-level subject matter expert on loan lifecycle mechanics, payment rails, settlement flows, and institutional transfers — guiding product, engineering, and business partners on tradeoffs, best practices, and platform decisions.
- Drive cross-functional alignment at scale. Partner closely with Engineering, Accounting, Treasury, Capital Markets, Legal, Compliance, and Client Success teams. Navigate complexity, balance competing stakeholder needs, and build trust through clear communication and a strong delivery track record.
- Enable platform scalability and international expansion. Architect platform strategies that simplify domain boundaries, standardize loan behaviors across products and markets, and unlock faster time-to-market for new geographies and product lines.
- Measure and improve platform health. Define success metrics — including settlement success rates, reconciliation coverage, exception volumes, and time-to-resolution — and hold teams accountable to the reliability and accuracy standards these critical systems demand.
- Influence up and across the organization. Regularly present strategy, tradeoffs, and priorities to senior leadership. Shape organizational thinking on where to invest and what to deprioritize.
We'll put each as
- .
Requirements: Could be the "What We Look For" bullet list. But we also have Qualifications and Skills maybe separate. The posting lumps experience requirements. We could split: Requirements = mandatory experience (15+ years PM, 3-5 managing PM teams, deep experience in loans/lending, meaningful experience in money movement, fintech background, etc). Qualifications = maybe education (Bachelor's degree). Skills = technical fluency, AI-assisted tools, stakeholder management, communication.
Let's extract:
What We Look For bullet list:
- 15+ years of product management experience, with at least 3–5 years managing and developing PM teams including people managers
- Deep experience in loans or lending systems — you understand loan lifecycle mechanics, platform architecture for loan servicing, and the compliance and operational requirements that come with it
- Meaningful experience in money movement, payments infrastructure, or financial operations — you're fluent in payment rails, settlement flows, cross-border transfers, and the reliability and accuracy standards these systems demand
- Experience in fintech, financial services, or banking; familiarity with BNPL, platform products, or backend infrastructure is strongly preferred; capital markets background is a plus
- Demonstrated ability to set and execute long-term platform strategy in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
- Strong technical fluency — you're comfortable diving into data models and API discussions with engineers and holding informed opinions
- Proficiency with AI-assisted tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor) to accelerate your own work and raise the bar for your team
- Track record of building and scaling distributed, high-performing PM teams across multiple domains simultaneously
- Exceptional stakeholder management skills — you can align Legal, Finance, Engineering, and executive leadership around a common direction
- Outstanding written and verbal communication; you tell crisp, data-driven stories to diverse audiences
- Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent practical experience
We could treat the first 6 bullets as Requirements, the next 4 as Skills, and the last as Qualifications (education). Or we could combine.
But the instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we should have those headings if content exists.
We need to decide what goes where.
About the role: we have description.
Responsibilities: list of duties.
Requirements: likely the core experience requirements: 15+ years PM, 3-5 years managing PM teams, deep loans experience, meaningful money movement experience, fintech/banking experience, ability to set long-term platform strategy.
Qualifications: Bachelor's degree or equivalent.
Skills: technical fluency, AI-assisted tools, stakeholder management, communication, track record building/scaling teams (maybe also part of requirements). But we can allocate.
Let's map:

- Outstanding written and verbal communication; you tell crisp, data-driven stories to diverse audiences
Benefits: from "Benefits Designed For You": bullet list:
- Health coverage at no cost: We cover 100% of premiums for employees and their dependents.
- Spending stipends: Monthly stipends support your tech setup, and the ability to choose health and wellness options that are right for you.
- Time off to recharge: Flexible time off and generous holiday calendars help you rest when you need to.
- Own a piece of what you build: Our employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) lets you buy Affirm stock at a discount.
Also earlier mention: "Base pay is part of a total compensation package that may include equity rewards, monthly stipends for health, wellness and tech spending, and benefits (including 100% subsidized medical coverage, dental and vision for you and your dependents.)" That's somewhat redundant but we can include in benefits.
Pay: Base pay ranges:
- USA base pay range (CA, CT, NJ, NY, WA) per year: $340,000 - $375,000
- USA base pay range (all other U.S. states) per year: $305,000 - $340,000
Also mention Base Pay Grade - V Equity Grade - USA 21 Employees new to Affirm typically come in at the start of the pay range. Affirm focuses on providing a simple and transparent pay structure which is based on a variety of factors, including location, experience and job-related skills. Base pay is part of a total compensation package that may include equity rewards, monthly stipends for health, wellness and tech spending, and benefits (including 100% subsidized medical coverage, dental and vision for you and your dependents.)
We can include that as prose under Pay.
Schedule: Remote-first info: "Remote-first with flexibility built in Affirm is proud to be a remote-first company. Most roles can be done from almost anywhere within the country of employment. Some positions may occasionally require in-person work at an Affirm office, and a few are office-based due to the nature of the work. All new hires will be invited to attend an in-person onboarding experience."
We can put that under Schedule.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no markdown fences.
We'll produce:

Make sure not to include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
Check for any duplicated content: The benefits paragraph earlier also mentions monthly stipends etc. We'll keep only the Benefits Designed For You bullet list.
Now craft the HTML.
Let's write the About the role paragraph: combine the two sentences: "Our Financial Platform sits at the heart of every loan Affirm makes and every dollar we move. We're looking for a Senior Director of Product Management to lead and scale the teams behind two of our most critical and complex domains: Loans Lifecycle and Money Movement. This is a role for a seasoned product leader who thrives in the intersection of financial systems, platform engineering, and organizational scale."
That's fine.
Now Responsibilities list: we need to ensure each bullet is a full sentence.
We'll copy as is.
Now Requirements list: as above.
Qualifications list: just Bachelor's degree.
Skills list: as above.
Benefits list: bullet points.
Pay: include paragraph: "Base Pay Grade - V Equity Grade - USA 21. Employees new to Affirm typically come in at the start of the pay range.
