AI Product Manager

Location: Hybrid - San Francisco, CA, ~2-3 days/week onsite

About the Role

This role sits within Risk & Analytics, alongside the VP of Risk Data Science and the Director of TPM, supporting a company-wide shift to AI-driven decisioning in a regulated, revenue-generating lending business. The organization has already moved AI agents into production across credit and underwriting, built on nearly two decades of proprietary credit data - and is now extending that AI-first approach into Sales, Customer Lifecycle, Finance, and Capital Markets.

You'll be embedded in a pod, partnered with a data scientist, and assigned to a single business area where you'll own the 0→1 reimagination of a business process end-to-end from discovery through design, build management, QC, and adoption. This is a hands-on role, not a strategy-only seat: you'll be expected to run discovery sessions yourself, author the design briefs an external engineering partner builds to and manage that partner day-to-day without ever letting them define scope.

What You'll Do

  • Lead SME discovery sessions to map how a process actually works today, baseline current metrics, and surface undocumented edge cases and workarounds
  • Reimagine the process from the ground up (0→1) and author the design brief that an external engineering partner builds against
  • Recommend the engineering partner and own the go/no-go decision
  • Manage the partner day-to-day against the brief, ensuring they never redefine scope
  • Design the QC framework alongside your pod's data scientist before the build starts - no output reaches end users without QC review
  • Run the shadow run, build the adoption plan with the relevant functional head, and track impact against baseline

What We're Looking For

Required:

  • 3-5 years in product management or a closely related role, with direct exposure to AI-enabled products - not just general software delivery
  • Experience at a smaller, fast-moving fintech, payments, or tech company (large enterprise or big tech backgrounds are not a fit for this role)
  • A track record of reimagining a business process using AI, done 0→1 - not simply adding AI to an existing workflow
  • Demonstrated ability to author specs or design briefs that others have built to, and to structure an undefined problem without waiting for direction
  • Enough AI fluency to hold a substantive conversation with an engineering partner and identify when a proposal doesn't match design intent (engineering depth not required)
  • Bachelor's degree required

Nice to Have:

  • Credit or lending domain experience (not required)
  • Prior experience managing external engineering vendors
  • Master's degree (secondary to demonstrated delivery experience)

Strong candidates will be able to speak concretely to discovery work - specific edge cases or workarounds they uncovered that weren't documented anywhere - and to how they measured whether AI output was good enough for production, including how they caught regressions.

Working Style:

This is a hands-on, high-autonomy role. You'll operate with day-to-day independence inside your pod, be comfortable structuring ambiguous problems without waiting for direction, and build trust directly with SMEs and functional heads - adoption is something you earn during discovery, not something you chase after launch.

Compensation & Benefits

Base Salary: Up to $220,000

Additional:

  • Relocation assistance considered for candidates who need it
  • Hybrid work model, 2-3 days/week onsite
