What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Staff Product Manager to lead our Capital Risk and Deal Reporting product area
- This role owns some of the most investor-visible and profit-impacting systems at Affirm
- You will reduce operational risk, enable more sophisticated and accurate forecasting, and ensure investor-grade reporting by building durable systems that scale with Affirm’s growth—ultimately helping Affirm deploy capital more efficiently and passing those gains through to our customers
- This is a highly analytical, high-impact role for a product builder who is comfortable being deeply embedded in data and financial logic—and who brings a strong bias toward precision, correctness, and delivery
- Own the Capital Risk & Reporting Vision: Define the long-term direction for Capital Risk and Deal Reporting systems, ensuring they scale with increasing volume, complexity, and scrutiny while supporting both operational reliability and forward-looking decision-making
- Turn Scale Into Better Capital Decisions: Enable analytical and forecasting capabilities that help Capital teams evaluate tradeoffs, plan ahead, and make higher-quality funding and P&L decisions as the platform grows
- Build the Foundational System for Investor-Grade Accuracy: Lead the development of systems that deliver consistent, timely, and trusted reporting to our Capital investors, with a strong emphasis on reconciliation, traceability, and accuracy
- Eliminate Fragility in Critical Workflows: Identify and remove sources of operational fragility by replacing manual processes, one-off logic, and ad-hoc checks with durable, automated, and well-instrumented product capabilities in our most critical workflows
- Lead Cross-Functional Execution: Act as the product anchor across Engineering, Capital Markets, Treasury, Risk, Legal and Accounting—aligning stakeholders, translating complex requirements into clear plans, and driving execution through ambiguity
- Go Deep Where It Matters: Dive into financial logic, data models, pipeline dependencies, and edge cases to ensure systems behave correctly
- Be Accountable for Outcomes: Own success metrics tied to operational stability, reporting confidence, forecasting quality, and stakeholder trust—ensuring the products you ship measurably improve how Capital operates at scale
Our take
Affirm offers point-of-sale loans to consumers, working with merchants like Shopify, KAYAK, and Walmart. Buy now, pay later transactions have grown in popularity in recent years, and this business is tapping into the market with a totally different approach to credit - by delivering the Affirm card, the first US debit card with the option to pay-over-time.
Serving over 21 million consumers and over 300,000 merchants, the company offers flexible payback options ranging from 3 to 36 months. The interest rates run between 0% and 30%, so, while they are not necessarily the cheapest option, Affirm prides itself on having no fees for late payments, no hidden charges, and total transparency about what people will pay before they take out a loan.
Affirm collects payments from the customers and pays the merchants directly, shouldering the risk itself. The company has boosted its market share, expanding its availability beyond the US to include most of Canada, and continues to launch new features and create new partnerships towards bettering its offering.
