Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest. Affirm, Inc. proudly includes Affirm, PayBright, and Returnly.
As we grow, Affirm is diversifying our financial product portfolio and providing more ways for customers to interact with Affirm! This candidate will be a part of a larger group passionate about the transformation of the CFO organization at Affirm! Some key priorities are creating automated reconciliation and accounting close processes to reduce manual work and enable our team to consume and utilize streaming, enriched data.

This high profile product role will focus on discovering, delivering, and optimizing capabilities that fundamentally transform how Affirm’s executive leaders (like our CEO and CFO) use financial information. You’ll enable us to deliver valuable insights using modernized technologies and core data services.
The right person will have a deep technical background in complex systems (ideally in the finance space), strong execution capabilities in a heavily matrixed environment, and a history of building strong partnerships while delivering high impact business results.

- Partner with Finance leadership (particularly accounting, strategic finance and financial partnerships), engineering, PMs, and other cross-functional business partners to ensure they have the right information to engage with the central team and ensure happy end users.
- Collaborate with product teams across Affirm to support broad initiatives that work with Affirm’s financial systems (e.g., international expansion, large merchant integrations, and new product verticals/ expansion)
What we look for
- 6+ years crafting and delivering world-class platform products in a product management role with a focus on cross-functional and distributed teams
- 3+ years in highly complicated finance products (i.e. Financial analytics, Finance general ledger, Treasury, tax, accounts receivable, accounts payable & procurement functional domains)
- Working knowledge of data warehousing ecosystems and familiarity with fundamental principles
- Proven solutions leader in at least one full lifecycle of ERP/Finance Systems implementation and/or major enterprise business applications.
