Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of product management experience with a track record of delivering high-quality products and great user experiences at scale
- Ability to envision how complex systems and platforms interact to serve multiple user groups (consumers, dealers, and partners)
- Proven track record of partnering with engineers to weigh technical tradeoffs, not just passing along requirements
- Expert at navigating difficult tradeoffs and optimizing a portfolio of small, medium, and large releases
- Skilled at conducting empathy interviews to internalize user workflows and deeply understand customer needs
- Demonstrated experience managing external partner relationships and building reliable, high-converting integrations
- Interest in or experience with AI-augmented product development, such as context-driven spec generation and AI-assisted ticketing
- Strong written and verbal skills with a talent for articulating complex problems with precision
- A creative thinker who thrives when collaborating across Engineering, Design, Analytics, Marketing, and Sales
- Experience in FinTech, lending, automotive/powersports, or dealership operations is highly preferred
What the job involves
- As Product Manager, Captive Recreation Partnerships, you will shape the product experience for Octane's captive recreational lending channel—from consumer- and dealer-facing applications and offers flows to the decisioning, contract, and F&I product infrastructure that powers every deal
- You'll work hand-in-hand with external partners to build integrations that are reliable, compliant, and built to convert, while optimizing the consumer experience that borrowers encounter through those partnerships
- This role is also an opportunity to help guide how Octane's product team adopts AI-assisted processes, and we're looking for someone who brings that curiosity and fluency with them
- Define and lead team OKRs that align with corporate objectives, translating a long-term vision into actionable, prioritized roadmaps
- Rigorously measure and report on key KPIs, specifically focusing on dealer conversion rates, application volume, and funding velocity
- Manage and advance deep integrations with dealer systems to ensure a frictionless, end-to-end loan origination flow
- Partner with Legal, Risk, and Credit Ops to navigate complex product eligibility logic, disclosures, and compliance requirements
- Work closely with Engineering, Design, Data, Sales, and Ops to build world-class experiences for Octane’s captive partners
- Gather direct insights from dealer stakeholders and internal teams through empathy interviews and support channels to drive continuous UX improvements
- Simultaneously oversee multiple in-flight projects, balancing external partner dependencies and legal timelines with internal engineering capacity
- Continuously optimize the dealer portal and consumer application flows to reduce friction and increase partner satisfaction
Our take
Octane is revolutionizing the financing process within the powersports industry. The company's online platform offers streamlined online financing options and has significantly improved customer experience through its technology-driven solutions.
In addition to its core focus, Octane has expanded its offerings to include recreational vehicles, tractors, trailers and electric vehicles. The company collaborates with over 30 original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and has originated more than $4 billion in loans through its in-house lender.
Octane's impressive flurry of funding rounds in 2024 underscores strong confidence in its business model and future growth. This capital has enabled the company to expand into more markets, including the auto market with its captive-as-a-service solution for dealership groups.
