About The Job:

The Sr. Finance Product Manager contributes a solid knowledge of the various constraints of the business such as services, finance, legal, and privacy.

We look for product managers who understand that consistent innovation is the result of each member of the team contributing their ideas. This role collaborates closely with product design, architects and business partners to discover the most impactful solutions, and then work together to deliver those solutions.

While we empower our product teams to identify the best solutions to problems that need to be solved, we also hold those teams accountable to the results. Shipping is necessary, but not sufficient. We look for product managers who are not afraid of signing up for results, even when this means they have to work through others to achieve the necessary results.

This job is an individual contributor role. You will need to influence your teammates, as well as colleagues, stakeholders, and key executives, through your use of data and logic.

Our Approach to Flexible Work
 

With Flex Work, we’re combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role). This means you'll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote "home office" roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.
