Senior Director, Product Management (Financial Platforms)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Need to extract content from posting. We have: - About The Product Team (maybe not needed? The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should map content accordingly. We have "About The Role" section: description of role. That can go under

About the role

with paragraphs. Responsibilities: bullet list under "What You’ll Do". So we need

Responsibilities

with

• items. Requirements: maybe "What We Look For" includes experience requirements. Could be Requirements or Qualifications. We'll separate: Requirements (hard requirements) and Qualifications (preferred). But we need to decide based on content. The posting includes: "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 can treat these as Requirements (maybe all). Could split into Requirements (mandatory) and Qualifications (preferred). The posting says "strongly preferred" for fintech experience etc. But we can just put all under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction: Use sections only when posting has real specific content. We can have both Requirements and Qualifications if we can differentiate. Let's try: Requirements: the core mandatory items: 15+ years PM exp, 3-5 years managing PM teams, deep experience in loans/lending, meaningful experience in money movement, ability to set long-term platform strategy, strong technical fluency, track record building/scaling PM teams, exceptional stakeholder management, outstanding communication, Bachelor's degree. Qualifications: Experience in fintech/financial services/banking; familiarity with BNPL, platform products, backend infrastructure strongly preferred; capital markets background a plus; proficiency with AI-assisted tools. Skills: maybe we can list technical fluency, stakeholder management, communication, AI tools proficiency. But we might combine. Better: Use Requirements for the bullet list (all). Qualifications maybe not needed. Skills maybe not needed. Benefits: we have benefits described: Health coverage at no cost, Spending stipends, Time off to recharge, Own a piece of what you build (ESPP), inclusive interview process, accommodations, etc. Also mention remote-first flexibility. Pay: Base pay ranges given: 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. Also mention equity rewards, monthly stipends for health, wellness and tech spending, benefits including 100% subsidized medical coverage, dental and vision. Schedule: Remote-first with flexibility built in. 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. Thus we have content for Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no markdown fences. Structure:

  About the role

  ... (the About The Role paragraph(s) maybe combine). The About The Role section includes: "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 can include that as paragraph. Then Responsibilities:

  Responsibilities

  • 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.
  ... etc. We need to capture each bullet from "What You’ll Do". Let's list them: - 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. Now Requirements: we can list bullet list. We need to decide if we include Qualifications and Skills sections. The posting includes "Proficiency with AI-assisted tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor) to accelerate your own work and raise the bar for your team" which could be a skill. Also "Experience in fintech, financial services, or banking; familiarity with BNPL, platform products, or backend infrastructure is strongly preferred; capital markets background is a plus" could be qualifications. We could create:

  Requirements

  ... mandatory items

  Qualifications

  ... preferred items

  Skills

  ... maybe technical fluency, stakeholder management, communication, AI tools proficiency
  But we need to ensure we don't create sections with filler. We have real content for each. Let's extract: Mandatory (Requirements): - 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 - 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 - 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 Preferred (Qualifications): - Experience in fintech, financial services, or banking; familiarity with BNPL, platform products, or backend infrastructure is strongly preferred; capital markets background is a plus - Proficiency with AI-assisted tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor) to accelerate your own work and raise the bar for your team Skills: maybe we can list: Technical fluency, Stakeholder management, Communication, AI-assisted tools proficiency, Strategic thinking, Cross-functional leadership. But we already have those in requirements/qualifications. Might be redundant. Could skip Skills section to avoid thin sections. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Skills into Requirements/Qualifications. Let's just have Requirements and Qualifications. Now Benefits: we have 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. - We’re committed to providing an inclusive interview process, including accommodations for candidates with disabilities. If you need support, we’re happy to help. - For positions based in San Francisco or Los Angeles: Affirm considers qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records, as required by law. We could also mention remote-first flexibility but that's Schedule. Pay: we have: - 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.) - 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 Schedule: - 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. Now we need to output HTML fragment only. We'll wrap each section in
