Senior Product Manager

Our mission is to make higher education accessible and affordable for everyone. We empower students with financial support and supercharge their ability to pay down their debt, so they can get on the right financial track, fast.

We build tools that help people feel in control of their financial future, including:

  • Private student loans - low rates, people-first service, and flexible payments.
  • Student loan refinancing - break free from high-interest rates or monthly payments.
  • Scholarships - access to thousands of scholarships to help students pay less.

Earnies are committed to helping students live their best lives, free from the stress of student debt. If you’re as passionate as we are about our mission, read more below, and let’s build something great together!

This role will report to the Vice President of Product - Lending.

We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead our In-School Student Lending product—owning it end-to-end and driving its next stage of growth. This is a highly visible, high-impact role at the heart of our lending business. You’ll work closely with a dedicated cross-functional team and partner directly with our Student Loans GM to shape strategy, deliver best-in-class borrower experiences, and improve unit economics.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ownership-heavy environments, is fluent in lending, and who can translate complexity into clear, actionable plans. If you’re energized by digging into tough problems, have a growth mindset, and are ready to roll up your sleeves to grow a product in a competitive space—we want to talk.

As the Senior Product Manager, SLO/GM, you will: 

  • Own the student lending product end-to-end, from strategy and roadmap to day-to-day execution and optimization.
  • Drive growth and unit economics—identify and deliver product and process improvements across the full borrower journey (acquisition, onboarding, underwriting, servicing, etc.).
  • Partner closely with the Student Loans GM on business strategy, prioritization, and cross-functional execution.
  • Collaborate with a dedicated engineering and design team, and work alongside shared functions including research, analytics, data science, and credit.
  • Use both qualitative insights and quantitative data to uncover borrower needs, validate hypotheses, and measure impact.
  • Define, track, and deliver against both product metrics (conversion, NPS, feature adoption, time to fund, etc.) and business metrics (loan volume, delinquency/default rates etc.).
  • Manage regulatory and compliance requirements.
  • Communicate roadmap, progress, and results to stakeholders across the company.

About You:

  • 5+ years of product management experience, with a track record of end-to-end ownership and results.
  • 3+ years in lending products.
  • 3+ years in fintech (can be overlapping with the above).
  • A builder’s mindset—you’re hands-on, comfortable with ambiguity, and skilled at turning big ideas into clear, achievable plans.
  • Strong product instincts backed by data fluency—you know how to use metrics, experimentation, and customer insights to guide decisions.
  • Excellent communication and storytelling skills—you can align teams, influence stakeholders, and make complexity easy to understand.
  • A natural collaborator who thrives in cross-functional settings and builds strong partnerships across product, engineering, design, analytics, and business teams.
  • A passion for solving real problems for real people—and for making financial products simpler, more transparent, and more effective.

Where:

  • This role will be based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Salt Lake City, UT, or Austin, TX areas.
  • While you’ll enjoy the flexibility of remote work, we also love to see our Earnies face-to-face! We ask you to join us at our Oakland / Salt Lake City / Austin, TX. offices for 3 consecutive days a month for team collaboration and some fun. It's a chance to connect, share ideas, and maybe even grab some coffee together!
