• Experience in fintech, lending, payments, fraud, banking, or other data-heavy environments
• Someone analytical, curious, and commercially minded
• Comfortable working with technical teams, APIs, integrations, and data-driven products
• A Product Manager who enjoys balancing customer experience with smart risk decisions
