Splash Financial is an AI-enabled lending marketplace that connects consumers with credit unions and banks for student-loan refinancing, personal loans, and newly launched HELOCs.
<div class="content-intro"><h3><strong>ABOUT OUR COMPANY:</strong></h3> <div>The crushing weight of debt is something that we believe holds people back from reaching their dreams and making a splash in the world. So in 2013, after seeing our friends and family struggle with student loans, we created Splash Financial. <p>Over the years, our mission has expanded to include helping people with other forms of debt - such as refinancing credit cards, which are at all time highs in the US. And we’ve been able to refinance $6+ Billion in loans through our network of Splash, powered credit union and bank partners who leverage our marketplace and automated loan processing technology. And we’ve raised over $135 million from investors like partners of DST Global, Citi Ventures, TruStage Ventures, Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures, Detroit Venture Partners, and more.</p> <p>But at our core, we’re still that little company from Cleveland with a big dream: to make people more powerful than their debt and we’re just getting started..</p> </div> <h3><strong>ABOUT OUR WORKPLACE:</strong></h3> <div> <p>Splash is remote-first, and proud of it — though our collections team works in-person at our Arizona location.</p> <p>We spend our days simplifying financial products and getting them into the hands of people who need them most. Right now, we’re focused on building financial technologies that fundamentally transform how the industry lends.</p> <p>Although Splash has been around since 2013, we still operate like a startup — fast-paced, nimble, and full of heart. We’re good people who care deeply about doing meaningful work and we approach challenges with creativity, passion, and urgency.</p> <p>And to hire the best, we provide the best: great health insurance, competitive salaries, and unique benefits like quarterly meet-ups and access to engagement tools that keep us connected — even from afar.</p> <p>At Splash, everything we do is guided by our values:</p> <p><strong>Own It</strong> – We take full accountability and follow through on commitments.</p> <p><strong>Raise the Bar</strong> – We move fast, innovate faster, and push through barriers.</p> <p><strong>Say the Hard Thing</strong> – We speak up with honesty, respect, and a desire to solve problems and make things better.</p> <p><strong>Elevate Each Other</strong> – We win as a team by lifting each other up.</p> <p>These values show up in how we work and how we connect — whether we’re collaborating on big projects or bonding over everyday moments. Yes, we even have Slack channels for #kids-and-pets and #food because we believe being human makes us better teammates.</p> </div></div><h2><strong>ABOUT THE ROLE:</strong></h2> <p>Splash Financial is seeking a Staff Product Manager to lead the launch and scale of our HELOC business, one of the highest-leverage growth bets in the company today. We're moving beyond a brokered lending model into full in-house underwriting and origination, bringing ownership of decisioning, verification, valuation, document generation, and closing in-house rather than relying on outside partners for that experience. You'll own the roadmap end-to-end: eligibility and decisioning, income and identity verification, property valuation, document generation and e-signing, and funding, along with the compliance-critical infrastructure that a home-secured lending product demands, including licensing and state disclosure timing requirements. You'll partner directly with Engineering, Risk, Compliance, Operations, and Capital Markets, and you'll have direct visibility with our CPO and executive leadership given how central this bet is to the company's growth strategy. This is a rare opportunity to take a product from early-stage to scaled, in-house lending infrastructure, with the autonomy and stakes of a true 0-to-1 build.</p> <hr> <h3><strong>WHAT YOU’LL DO AT SPLASH:</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Own the end-to-end product strategy and roadmap for HELOC in-house underwriting: decisioning, borrower and property verification, document generation, funding, closing, and loan sales. </li> <li>Lead vendor and lending-partner strategy, evaluating and integrating third-party providers for valuation, document generation, and verification, and working with capital partners to expand program capacity and coverage.</li> <li>Build the scaling roadmap beyond launch: multi-partner program support, state and geographic expansion, repricing and fee structures, underwriting efficiency improvements, and the post-close servicing infrastructure the business doesn't yet have.</li> <li>Partner closely with Engineering, Legal, Compliance, Operations, Marketing, and Capital Markets to sequence delivery, manage licensing and regulatory requirements, and keep the business unblocked through a leadership transition.</li> <li>Use funnel, conversion, and portfolio data to define success metrics, prioritize ruthlessly against engineering capacity, and communicate tradeoffs clearly to executive stakeholders.</li> </ul> <hr> <h3><strong>WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO SPLASH:</strong></h3> <ul> <li>8+ years of product management experience, including Staff-level or equivalent scope, with direct experience in mortgage, HELOC, secured lending, or complex regulated consumer lending products.</li> <li>A proven track record owning ambiguous 0-to-1 builds through to scale, ideally including experience standing up or migrating loan origination and underwriting infrastructure.</li> <li>Strong fluency with lending compliance and disclosure requirements (state-level timing rules, fair lending reporting, licensing) and comfort partnering closely with Risk, Compliance, and Legal.</li> <li>Vendor and partner relationship management experience: evaluating, negotiating, and integrating third-party providers into a live production system.</li> <li>Excellent executive communication skills, with the ability to frame open-ended tradeoffs as clear decisions, manage cross-functional stakehol
