Octane is a Fintech company whose mission is to connect people with their passions. The transaction process for large purchases such as powersports, RVs, and boats is slow and frustrating, but Octane is changing that through automated underwriting, innovative credit products, and financing through our in-house lender Roadrunner Financial.  Octane reaches millions of enthusiasts through editorial brands like Cycle World and Cycle Volta and helps consumers buy their favorite products with instant, frictionless financing on Octane.co. Octane is revolutionizing lending in under-served verticals that account for tens of billions of dollars in annual transactions. 

Octane is gaining traction quickly with customers, as evidenced by growth in originations through our platform of more than $1B since inception. Octane works with more than 3,500 merchants in the USA and offers promotional financing with low rates for more than 40 OEM brands.  Because we’re the platform and the lender, we have both high growth and positive unit economics - rare for a fintech. We have raised more than $192M in capital from leading investors, including Valar Ventures, IA Ventures, Contour Venture Partners, Third Prime, Progressive Insurance and Citi Ventures and our lending securities are rated AA by Standard & Poor’s.

What We Need

The Consumer product team at Octane is on a mission to inform and empower powersports shoppers along their entire purchase journey. Whether it’s reading expert reviews, comparing features and specifications, or securing vehicle financing to complete their purchase—our goal is to make the path to purchase as enjoyable and frictionless as possible. 

As a Senior Product Manager within the Consumer team, you will be instrumental in helping us build and maintain the only consumer experience for powersports and recreational vehicles that combines high-quality research content with best-in-class consumer digital financing tools. This includes iterating and scaling the pre-qualification and loan application processes, lead-routing, and integration across Octane’s many partners—from individual dealerships to major OEMs. 

Successful candidates for this role are experienced in launching and iterating consumer-facing products and are looking to own and manage a product life cycle, while thriving in the energetic pace of a rapidly scaling startup. This role reports to the Director of Consumer Product and can be based out of our NYC HQ or remote.

What You’ll Do

  • Own and manage a product through its lifecycle by strategizing, sizing and executing major and minor feature and functional updates across multiple external partners
  • Own and manage the roadmap and all documentation for your product line
  • Plan and execute impactful sprints that align with the overall consumer product roadmap and company-wide OKRs
  • Perform ad-hoc analysis, consumer research, and scoping to drive product and feature development
  • Manage the building and rollout of new products—shepherding partners through onboarding, launch, and maintenance phases
  • Partner with data and analytics managers to monitor and track product performance to inform product enhancements and optimizations
  • Manage the ongoing testing and documentation of bugs and intake of external feature requests

Who You Are

  • 6+ years of demonstrable experience shipping and iterating successful software products, especially those that are consumer-facing and support a transaction or checkout flow
  • You empathize deeply with the consumer and desire to build products and features that users and partners love 
  • You self-prioritize and enjoy the challenge of working in a fast-paced environment 
  • You’re an effective cross-functional communicator with technical fluency
  • You have a passion for analytical thinking and working with data
  • BA/BS with solid academic record or equivalent experience
  • Background in powersports, automotive, or finance are a plus, but not a requirement for this role

Benefits

  • Robust Health Care Plans (Medical, Dental & Vision)
  • Up to 5 weeks PTO (self-managed)
  • Generous Parental Leave
  • Retirement Plan (401k) with Company contribution 
  • Educational Assistance/Tuition Reimbursement up to $3K/year 
  • Powersports Safety Benefit: reimbursement of up to $500/year for the purchase of any powersports safety equipment
  • Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)
  • Short Term / Long Term Disability & Life insurance
  • Team Activities (remotely)
  • Monthly company gift

An Insider's view of Octane

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

At Octane, work and life have never felt at odds with one another. When life happens or we need a moment, there is always understanding built on trust and respect. Then at work, once the storm has passed, shared company values and goals align and motivate everyone to bring their whole selves to work.

Caroline Ho

Staff Engineer

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

I have been at Octane for only a year but I have seen exponential growth in my career. The leadership at Octane has always motivated me and provided me with opportunities to present my work and given me constructive feedback to hone my skills. Octane’s culture makes employees feel valued and instills the confidence to work to their full potential.

Geetika Chawla

Dealer Risk Manager

How do you make yourself accessible to the rest of the team?

To make myself accessible, I engage in 1:1s with various members of the team, have a public calendar so people can throw on a meeting if there is ever something they want to discuss, do strategy sessions several times a year, host an all-hands every month, and attend company happy hours.

Jason Guss

C.E.O.

What are some things you learned at the company?

At Octane I’ve learned that small, scrappy teams of highly motivated individuals can accomplish big things. And that world-class products require both focus and patience to build. We’re just as proud of the things we say “No” to, as we are of the products we ship that delight consumers and make life easier for recreational dealers.

Evan Coates

Vice President & General Manager, Consumer
