The team works closely with design, engineering, and analytics to build scalable financial products that empower people to manage their money with confidence. We rely on empathy, curiosity, and business sense to prioritize features and improve experiences. Our role is to lead with clarity, support cross-functional execution, and champion the user in every decision.\nAbout the Role\nThe ZT1 Labs group is a small, senior team of product and engineering experts working directly with the CEO on the company’s most important new bets. This team takes on highly ambiguous, cross-functional problems where the upside is company-defining.\nWe are looking for a Group Product Manager to lead a portfolio of ZT1 initiatives in a hands-on builder role, with direct product ownership and with no direct people management responsibilities. You will own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for new products and platforms, partnering closely with engineers, analysts, and designers to build and launch, and with revenue and business teams to bring new products to market and scale.\nYou’ll work closely with the CEO and executive team to turn high-level ideas into durable, scalable businesses.\nWhat You Will Do\nUnderstand Customers & Strategic Context: \nBuild a deep understanding of Affirm’s global network of users, merchants, and partners.\n\nConnect customer insights and market trends to long-term company strategy to identify where zero-to-one innovation can drive outsized impact.\n\nTrack relevant product, technology, and industry shifts and use them to inform product direction.\n\n Set Vision, Strategy, and Roadmap\nPartner with the CEO and senior leaders to define problem spaces and opportunity areas that matter most for Affirm’s future.\n\nCraft a clear product vision and strategic narrative for the innovation portfolio, translating that into a focused and prioritized roadmap.\n\nDefine crisp outcomes and success metrics tied directly to business impact (GMV, profitability, conversion, retention, long-term moat). \n\nLead Zero-to-One Product Development\nDrive the full lifecycle for new products and platforms: discovery, validation, MVP definition, launch, and iteration.\n\nOwn the full UI/UX, using AI tools to build and iterate on working prototypes that make product ideas tangible and testable.\n\nWrite and refine customer-facing copy across the product experience, from onboarding to in-product guidance.\n\nIndependently analyze customer behavior, build funnels, and use data to identify opportunities and guide product decisions.\n\nOwn experimentation end to end, including hypotheses, test design, success metrics, results analysis, and iteration.\n\nCollaborate closely with cross-functional teams to sync ZT1 roadmaps with core product roadmaps, ensuring high product quality, an aligned user experience, and cohesive business results.\n\n Cross-Functional & Executive Leadership\nLead a cross-functional group (engineering, design, data, risk, capital, operations, revenue, legal and compliance) through ambiguous and complex work.\n\nServe as a thought partner to the CEO and executive team on new product bets, tradeoffs, and prioritization.\n\nCommunicate clearly and often - framing decisions, risks, and tradeoffs; writing high-quality docs; and maintaining alignment across teams.\n\n Raise the Bar for Product Craft\nEstablish product patterns, decision frameworks, and execution standards that make zero-to-one work repeatable and scalable.\n\nModel strong product thinking, rigor, and judgment for senior peers without managing them directly.\n\nHelp shape the culture and operating model of the ZT1 function.\n\nWhat We Look For\nExperience\n~8-10+ years of product management experience with a strong track record shipping and scaling consumer-facing or platform products.\n\nPrevious ownership of technical software products end-to-end and ability to clearly articulate the business impact.\n\nDirect experience leading zero-to-one or highly ambiguous product areas with meaningful outcomes.\n\nExperience working closely with engineering, data, design, and other teams without direct authority.\n\nSkilled at operating in complex environments where success depends on coordinating cross-functional work across multiple groups. \n\nFounder or early-stage startup experience is a plus. Ability to spot opportunities, build from scratch, test quickly, and take ownership of outcomes.\n\nSkills\nHands-on fluency with AI tools for prototyping, design, content, and analysis, with the judgment to evaluate and refine the output.\n\nComfortable doing the work directly without dedicated design, analytics, or content partners.\n\nStrong communicator capable of securing alignment and decisions from broad groups of senior stakeholders with differing priorities.\n\nAdept at influencing engineering teams outside your reporting line - able to guide them toward building what the product needs.\n\nHigh judgment in ambiguous spaces - able to take incomplete or conflicting information and turn it into a clear, actionable plan.\n\nStrong commercial instincts - able to contribute to pitches, negotiations, and contract evaluations when product work intersects with business strategy.\n\nBehaviors & Traits\nBias toward action; cares about unblocking teams and driving meaningful progress quickly.\n\nComfortable moving between strategy and execution - from long-term roadmap thinking to writing specs or digging into edge cases.\n\nStrong organizational discipline and interpersonal skills, able to navigate complex dynamics while maintaining momentum.\n\nDeep sense of ownership - holds a high bar for quality and ships products on time.\n\nMission-driven and customer-obsessed, motivated to build honest, transparent financial products.\n\nPay Grade - R \n Equity Grade - 9\nEmployees new to Affirm typically come in at the start of the pay range. Affirm focuses on providing a simple and transparent pay structure which is based on a variety of factors, including location, experience and job-related skills.\nBase pay is part of a total compensation package that may include equity rewards, monthly stipends for health, wellness and tech spending, and benefits (including 100% subsidized medical coverage, dental and vision for you and your dependents.)\nCAN base pay range per year: $209,000 - $269,000\nThis posting is for an existing vacancy.\nLocation - Remote Canada\n This remote role is open only to candidates residing in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, or Saskatchewan.\n#LI-Remote\nRemote-first with flexibility built in\n Affirm is proud to be a remote-first company.
