About this role

ABOUT THE ROLE A Series C fintech company building modern banking infrastructure for small and independent businesses is looking for a Senior Product Manager, Growth to own and scale the full growth funnel — from acquisition through retention. Operating in a regulated fintech environment, you'll bring rigorous experimentation discipline, sharp analytical instincts, and a genuine passion for helping small businesses thrive financially. This is a hands-on leadership role at the intersection of product, data, and growth marketing. You'll set strategy, run experiments, and partner cross-functionally to turn validated wins into scalable product features — all while leveraging AI to increase velocity and impact. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Develop and execute a growth product strategy aligned with company mission, growth objectives, and unit economics. - Serve as a strategic partner to executive, product, and growth marketing teams, providing data-driven insight for key business decisions. - Translate company objectives into a prioritized growth roadmap that connects experimentation to long-term strategy. - Own the full growth funnel — acquisition, activation, conversion, monetization, and retention — with a focus on LTV, CAC, and payback. - Design, run, and scale a rigorous A/B testing and experimentation program across landing pages, messaging, onboarding, pricing, and personalization. - Partner with Product, Engineering, Design, and Growth Marketing to productionalize winning experiments into scalable features. - Improve site and onboarding conversion by clarifying value propositions and reducing friction. - Strengthen top-of-funnel performance via SEO, AEO/LLM-driven discovery, organic channels, affiliates, and educational content. - Drive retention and product depth to increase engagement and repeat value — not incentive-dependent growth. - Apply AI to accelerate experimentation, discovery, analysis, personalization, and growth tooling — in close partnership with Data, Risk, Compliance, and Legal teams. - Build and maintain analytics, instrumentation, and tooling to measure the funnel end-to-end and attribute impact across channels and experiments. - Lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing growth team; establish scalable systems for experimentation and operations. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR Required: - 10+ years of progressive experience in growth, product management, or growth marketing, including 3–5+ years in senior growth or product leadership. - Background in fintech, financial services, or subscription/consumer businesses strongly preferred. - Demonstrable track record of building and scaling growth and experimentation functions with measurable improvements in conversion, retention, and unit economics. - Deep, hands-on expertise with A/B testing, experimentation tooling, personalization, and cohort-based analysis (dealbreaker). - Strong understanding of full-funnel growth fundamentals and their connection to LTV, CAC, and payback periods. - Proven ability to set targets, track KPIs, translate insights into operating plans, and hand off validated, scalable wins to product teams. - Experience giving products a clear point of view and value proposition — aligning growth initiatives to long-term strategy rather than short-term tactics. - Experience applying AI to experimentation, content generation, analysis, and AEO/LLM-driven discovery. - Proven ability to influence and partner with engineering and product teams; strong communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. - Bachelor's degree required. Nice to Have: - Advanced degree in a relevant field. - Experience in regulated financial services environments. - Familiarity with modern growth tooling stacks, data pipelines, and attribution modeling. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS - Salary: $160,000 – $180,000 USD annually - Competitive benefits package (details shared during interview process) - Note: Visa sponsorship is not available for this role. LOCATION This is an on-site role based in New York, NY. Candidates should be prepared to work from the New York office on a regular basis.
