Role
Who you are
- 15+ years in product management, with experience leading multi-team product areas or platforms
- Track record of owning large domains or business lines with meaningful financial impact
- Experience managing managers and building high-performing PM teams
- Proven ability to create systems, processes, and culture that scale
- Ability to operate at portfolio-level altitude—connecting product decisions to company strategy
- Strong judgment across second- and third-order tradeoffs, especially in complex systems
- Experience in payments, cards, fintech, or adjacent infrastructure
- Comfort working on both consumer-facing products and backend platforms
- Ability to drive alignment across senior stakeholders and functions
- Strong product instincts paired with rigorous, data-driven decision-making
What the job involves
- Affirm is building the next generation of consumer finance, and the Affirm Card sits at the center of that vision—blending debit, pay-over-time, and network-native experiences into a single product
- We’re looking for a Director of Product to lead the Affirm Card and Card Platform—owning both the end-user experience, the business outcomes of every card product, and the underlying platform that powers card issuance, authorization, servicing, and partner integrations
- This is a pillar-level leadership role responsible for defining strategy, building a high-performing team, and delivering durable business outcomes across one of Affirm’s most strategic product areas
- Define and drive the multi-year vision for Affirm Card across consumer experience, growth, and economics, inclusive of new card products that complement the one we have in market today
- Lead the US direct to consumer card products (Affirm Cards, and in app virtual cards)
- Oversee our Card Platform (authorization, ledgering, servicing, controls) which powers the D2C products both domestically and internationally, along with a number of merchant and partner integrations
- Translate company strategy into a coherent roadmap spanning multiple teams and systems
- Manage and develop a team of PMs and PM leaders
- Establish product standards, operating cadence, and decision frameworks
- Build a durable org that delivers high-quality outcomes without direct involvement in every decision
- Own GMV, engagement, unit economics, and credit outcomes for the Card domain
- Shape investment strategy, tradeoffs, and resource allocation across multiple product areas
- Partner with Finance and Credit to optimize profitability and risk
- Drive platform capabilities that unlock velocity across Affirm (APIs, controls, servicing systems)
- Partner deeply with Engineering to make cost vs. value tradeoffs at the system level
- Ensure the Card Platform scales reliably across use cases, geographies, and partners
- Align senior stakeholders across Engineering, Design, Credit, Legal, Partnerships, and GTM
- Build strong relationships with external partners (networks, processors, wallet providers)
- Represent the Card domain in executive forums and company planning cycles
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.
