Senior Product Manager

What you'll do

As a Senior Product Manager on the Lending Products team, you’ll join a team that focuses on acquiring new users, building relationships with existing users, and building authentic experiences that help address education finance pain points. Your goal is to help students navigate financial decision making before, during, and after school that ultimately help them get out of debt faster.

You’ll develop an understanding of our users’ problems, partner with design and user research to create solutions that address them with deep empathy, and work with engineering to bring them to life.

• Set product strategy based on user research, business analysis, and Earnest’s core competencies
• Partner with research, design, and analytics to create a deeper understanding of our user personas and their major paint points along the user journey
• Help conduct user interviews and translate user needs into new feature and product ideas
• Design and run experiments to validate product hypotheses, summarize and communicate learnings

• Work closely with engineering, design, and multiple cross functional stakeholders to manage feature delivery
• Use web analytics to understand and influence customer behavior, as well as identify new product opportunities
