Product Manager

Background

Finley is changing the way companies access and manage billions of dollars in capital.

Whereas equity rounds close in weeks, debt financing takes 6+ months with ongoing manual operations to maintain it. Think months of legal coordination and versioned Excel files based on a 200-page credit agreement that only lawyers understand even though the business depends on it. The resulting inefficiency can delay--and in some cases block--access to capital when it’s needed most.

We're building software to streamline and simplify debt the way it should be.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for designing, building, and testing an entirely new category of capital markets software from the ground up. You’ll architect and build the infrastructure that helps fintechs around the world collectively manage billions of dollars. Just as importantly, you’ll help shape the product culture and trajectory of a seed-stage startup. 

We’re looking for 0 → 1 individuals who are comfortable with autonomy early on and excited to build structures that will scale their own impact over time. In other words, we’re looking for candidates who want to build a lasting company just as much as they want to build industry-changing software. 

We believe in finding the best technology for the job, and being disciplined with only adopting the tools that actually let us move faster, build more securely, and enable a higher quality of life. We hate inefficiency and embrace intellectual debate to constantly find ways to make our lives easier and products better.

Your responsibilities

• You will be responsible for helping conceptualize and build the first lender-borrower relationship platform for the debt capital markets
• You will work with the team to design, product manage, and test early features for the Finley system
• You will become an expert on structured finance (no worries, we’ll fill you in!) and the ways in which technology can bring standardization to a field accustomed to legacy solutions
• You will help grow the Finley team by helping interview job candidates, mentor new engineers, and document standard operating procedures

Your experience

• 5+ years experience as a Product Manager at B2B SaaS company
• Domain expertise in fintech or enterprise software
• Strong leadership, planning, and collaboration skills
• Ability to scope, monitor, and follow up on multiple projects simultaneously
• Experience shipping high-quality products even when there are many tradeoffs to consider
• High level of clarity in articulating product requirements to different stakeholders

We're looking for

• Problem-solvers. You focus on delivering outcomes and are comfortable standing up new processes from scratch
• Collaborators. You like collaborating with Business, Design, and Engineering functions. You stay intellectually honest, challenge others without ego, and believe that the best solutions only emerge when everyone brings their perspective to the table
• Systems thinkers. You enjoy the complexity of designing for a range of stakeholders (think borrowers, lenders, and banks) and source systems. You get excited about designing for the long-term
• Team-builders. You look forward to helping recruit, train, and mentor new team members at Finley
