Product Manager (Seattle on-site only)

Job description

**About us** Today’s financial system is built to favor those with money. Grid’s mission is to level that playing field by building financial products that help users better manage their financial future. The Grid app lets users access cash, build credit, spend money, optimize their taxes, and lots, lots more. Grid is a fast-growing team that’s deeply passionate about making a difference in the lives of millions. We’re solving huge problems and believe that every team member has a big role to play. Come join our growing team in our brand new Seattle office! **The role** We’re adding a Product Manager to our team to help us build and scale our user-facing products. You'll work closely with engineering and business leaders to help people optimize their taxes with 0 effort, bridge gaps between paychecks, build their credit score, and more! With access to a robust pipeline of excited paying users with high intent to use Grid, you'll have a significant impact on our users' happiness and financial wellbeing. **The team** We're focused on serving our users above all else all while building a robust business. To this end, Grid's team members experience high levels of autonomy and ownership, and as a company we value curiosity, learning and growth. At Grid, you'll be surrounded by a team that is motivated, mission-driven and pragmatic. **The tech stack** Our backend tech stack is based on GCP, Go, protobufs, BigQuery and MySQL. We have built our platform from the ground up to optimize for clean data sources, and we have made numerous investments into data warehousing, streaming analytics infrastructure and offline data cleanliness. As a result, we think Grid is positioned for efficient and powerful growth. ### What you will be doing - **Product Development:** We believe that great products are simple to understand and use. You'll be building products and features end to end that *just work* for customers. - **Speed & Iteration:** We practice a dynamic yet data-driven approach to product development. As a product manager at Grid, you'll build towards bold milestones in well-engineered, incremental releases. - **Data Analysis:** As a data-driven product and culture, we have robust data pipelines and analytics infrastructure. To be successful at Grid, you'll utilize SQL and other analysis tools to evaluate product and user performance. - **Risk Tolerance:** As an early stage company, one of our advantages is speed and the lack of bureaucracy. Not everything will be successful, so the skill to cut losses early and move forward will be instrumental in your success. ### About You - **Startup Person**: You seek high growth opportunities and are constantly learning about the world around you. You feel at home with dynamic decision making and an iterative approach. - **Curiosity and Optimism**: People who are constantly asking why the world around them works the way it does, and who have the will to change it. - **First Principles:** Tendency to understand the world by taking a first-principles approach. - **Experience prioritizing customers and user experience**: We're looking for people who make complicated things simple. Financial services tend to be unnecessarily complex by default. We aspire towards lightweight UX that's quick and fun for our users. - **Analytically oriented:** Proven experience in analytics. We're not talking about just pulling data accurately, but asking the right questions with the ability to answer them. - **Autonomy and Initiative:** Ability to work independently and take ownership of projects, showcasing a proactive approach to identifying key leverage points for products and experiences. - **Self Starter:** Confidence to prioritize work and delivery demonstrable results on a tight cadence.
