About the Role

A fast-growing, Series B/C fintech platform purpose-built for small and independent businesses is looking for a Senior Product Manager, Growth to own and scale the full growth funnel - from acquisition and activation through conversion, monetization, and retention.

What You'll Do
  • Develop and execute a growth product strategy aligned with company mission, growth objectives, and unit economics.

  • Own the full growth funnel across acquisition, activation, conversion, monetization, and retention with a strong focus on LTV, CAC, and payback.
  • Design, run, and scale a rigorous A/B testing and experimentation program across landing pages, messaging, onboarding, pricing, and personalization.
  • Partner with Product, Engineering, Design, and Growth Marketing to productionalize winning experiments into scalable product features.
  • Improve site and onboarding conversion by clarifying value propositions and reducing friction.
  • Strengthen top-of-funnel performance via SEO, AEO/LLM-driven discovery, organic channels, affiliates, and educational content.
  • Drive retention and product depth to increase engagement and repeat value - without relying on incentives.
  • Apply AI to accelerate experimentation, discovery, analysis, personalization, and growth tooling with sound judgment on risk and value.
  • Build and maintain analytics, instrumentation, and tooling to measure the funnel end-to-end and attribute impact across channels and experiments; define and own growth KPIs.
  • Serve as a strategic partner to executive, product, and growth marketing teams, providing data-driven insight for business decisions.
  • Lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing growth team and establish scalable systems for experimentation and operations.
What We're Looking For

Required
  • 10+ years of progressive experience in growth, product, or growth marketing, including 3-5+ years in a senior growth or product leadership role; fintech, financial services, or subscription/consumer background strongly preferred.
  • Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree a plus.
  • Deep, hands-on expertise with A/B testing, experimentation tooling, personalization, and cohort-based analysis.
  • Demonstrable track record building and scaling growth and experimentation functions with measurable improvements in conversion, retention, and unit economics.
  • Strong understanding of full-funnel growth fundamentals and their connection to LTV, CAC, and payback.
  • Experience applying AI to experimentation, content, and analysis - including familiarity with AI-driven discovery (AEO/LLM search).
  • Proven ability to partner with and influence product and engineering teams; comfortable communicating with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including executive leadership.
  • Ability to set targets, track KPIs, translate insights into operating plans, and hand off validated, scalable wins to product.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving startup environment.

Nice to Have
  • Experience with modern discovery and awareness channels: SEO, AEO/LLM-driven search, organic, affiliate, and content marketing.
  • Background in regulated financial services or compliance-sensitive product environments.
