Product Manager

Job description

About the Role We're hiring a Product Manager to be a foundational early member of our product team and take a new product from zero to launch. This is hands-on and high-ownership: you'll own the work end to end, from discovery and customer research through requirements, delivery, and iteration, partnering closely with engineering and go-to-market along the way. You'll turn ambiguous problems into shipped product and help set the bar for how we build. If you're energized by early-stage, 0-to-1 work and want to own an outcome rather than a backlog, we'd like to hear from you. What You'll Do Take a new product from zero to one. Own the direction, the scope, and the outcome, from first concept through launch and the iterations after it. Live close to the customer. Run discovery with suppliers, contractors, and prospects, and turn what you hear into a sharp point of view on what to build and why. Get hands dirty. Scope, draft, design, and prototype the product yourself, putting working concepts in front of customers and engineering rather than handing off documents. Make the calls. Turn that point of view into detailed technical requirements your engineering team can build from, a prioritized roadmap, and clear decisions about what ships now versus later Ship and iterate with your pod. Partner tightly with a small, dedicated engineering team to get to production fast, then measure, learn, and improve what is live. Keep everyone aligned. Bring engineering, design, and leadership along with clear, frequent updates on progress, risks, and decisions. What You'll Bring Required Three to five years in product management, including time in a fast-paced startup environment. Technical fluency to write detailed requirements and partner closely with engineering to ship high-impact products. Strong understanding of the B2B fintech and payments value chain, with the judgment to turn it into prioritization decisions. Fluency with AI tools across your work, from drafting and pressure-testing PRDs to competitive and domain research to front-end prototyping. Strong customer empathy and a track record of working directly with customers and prospects to scope and design products. High agency and sound product judgment; you form and defend a point of view, not just execute a backlog. Preferred Prior experience building a new product from scratch. Background in credit/lending, order-to-cash, or B2B fintech. Construction or fintech industry experience. Why Join Us We’re building something ambitious from the ground up - with a small, smart, and highly collaborative team.
