Role
Who you are
- This role is ideal for a systems thinker who thrives in ambiguity, is obsessed with customer behavior, and balances financial precision with intuitive, human-centered product experiences
- Strong experience leading product strategy and development in consumer fintech, loyalty, payments, or behavioral economics-driven products
- First-principles thinking: you simplify complex problems, reason from the ground up, and challenge assumptions to find better paths forward
- Proven ability to partner deeply with design to create emotionally resonant experiences that drive business outcomes
- Data curiosity: comfortable working with analysts to develop metrics, interpret patterns, and make informed decisions from incomplete or directional data
- Familiarity with compliance, risk, and regulatory frameworks related to credit and consumer finance—or a strong desire to learn quickly
- Excellent communication skills across functions and levels; you influence with clarity, humility, and empathy
What the job involves
- At Imprint, we’re transforming everyday payments into moments of connection, loyalty, and empowerment
- As the Lead Product Manager for Spend, you’ll shape the core of how our customers engage with credit—from day-to-day transactions to long-term financial wellness
- You’ll define how Imprint’s products help people spend with confidence, unlock value through rewards, and stay in control of their money
- You’ll collaborate closely with Design, Engineering, Risk, Data, and Partner teams to build a category-defining spend experience
- Dream up and build the most engaging credit card & spending experiences the world has ever seen
- Own the strategy and roadmap for Spend products at Imprint: Including core credit cards, installment loans, rewards redemption, and ongoing product engagement
- Design customer-centric experiences that reflect the emotional realities of spending, earning rewards, building loyalty with brands, and succeeding with your money
- Drive experimentation to nudge behavior, deliver delight, and optimize outcomes across the cardholder lifecycle
- Balance long-term platform thinking with short-term delivery, ensuring scalable architecture for future rewards, offer types, and funding models
- Collaborate across teams to embed spend functionality throughout our broader product ecosystem (e.g., growth, activation, servicing)
- Define and track success using a mix of behavioral, financial, and customer satisfaction metrics
Our take
These days, all sorts of cards abound, from virtual cards to co-branded credit cards. Imprint aims to stand out in the increasingly crowded space by partnering with businesses to provide branded rewards cards for customers.
While there has been an increase in the number of companies offering branded financial products to reduce costs, Imprint sees its card programs as offering a new platform for deepening customer relationships: less of the nastiness of credit and a much greater focus on rewards.
The startup is focusing on refining its embedded finance solution to fulfil its vision of an Apple-pay like experience for merchants and consumers.
Imprint will hope that its lightweight service, fit for smaller customers like hotel chains, will allow it to compete with the major venture-backed players in the space like Cardless, Apto and Alviere. And its $75M in venture capital raised in 2023 is going some way towards achieving these aims.
