  • Develop and present strategic proposals and business cases (e.g., new products, features, pricing, product constructs, partnerships, and distribution channels) to senior leadership.

  • Define clear goals and KPIs for the Credit Building business and develop a financial plan (e.g., volume, revenue, losses, unit economics) aligned to those KPIs.

  • Monitor and track KPIs, goals, and financial performance; identify gaps versus plan and propose solutions and course corrections.

  • Translate strategy, insights, and financial goals into structured business cases and product requirements that inform roadmaps owned by Product and Engineering.

  • Collaborate with Marketing, Risk, Compliance, and Operations to align on scope and timing for initiatives and ensure that launches are feasible, well-supported, and set up for success.

  • Track progress of key initiatives, raise risks, and recommend tradeoffs from a business perspective.

  • Deeply understand the needs of consumers who are new to credit, rebuilding credit, or thin-file/near-prime.

  • Monitor competitive landscape, market trends, and regulatory changes in credit building products.

  • Partner with the Marketing team to identify, size, and maximize cross-sell opportunities into Credit Building from other Snap/Seen products (e.g., leveraging existing customers, applicants, or declined populations).

  • Propose journeys, offers, and targeting strategies that use customer and application data from other Snap product lines; work with partner teams to implement and optimize these experiences.

  • Partner with Analytics and Finance to build robust measurement frameworks for business performance (e.g., acquisition, activation, revenue, unit economics).

  • Design and propose experiments and A/B tests with Analytics, Marketing, and Product teams; interpret results and recommend actions to improve customer outcomes, cross-sell performance, and business metrics.

  • Proactively identify issues, diagnose drivers of performance (e.g., funnel drops, loss trends, channel performance), and develop data-driven action plans.

  • Incorporate regulatory requirements and risk policies into business proposals and requirements, and partner with Product and Operations to embed them in product design and processes.

  • Collaborate with Operations to identify pain points and recommend improvements to onboarding, servicing, and issue resolution for credit building customers.

  • Act as the single threaded business leader for Credit Building within the GM org, coordinating stakeholders across Product, Risk, Marketing, Operations, and other partner teams.

  • Communicate business priorities, tradeoffs, financial impact, and performance clearly to executive stakeholders.

  • Help shape how Credit Building fits into the overall Snap/Seen card strategy (alongside Seen’s branded credit card and other credit products).

Requirements

  • 5+ years of product management, business management, or closely related experience, ideally in consumer finance, credit cards, banking, or fintech.

  • Demonstrated experience owning a product, program, or portfolio from a business / P&L perspective: defining KPIs, building financial plans, and driving execution with cross-functional teams.

  • Strong analytical skills; comfortable working with data, defining metrics, and partnering with Analytics, Finance, and Marketing to make decisions.

  • Experience working with cross-functional partners such as Product, Risk, Marketing, Operations, and Compliance.

  • Ability to think strategically and execute pragmatically—balancing growth, customer experience, and risk.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence across levels and functions.
