Self Financial is a venture-backed, high-growth FinTech company with a mission to increase economic inclusion and financial resilience by empowering people to build credit and build savings.

We're looking for people who share our passion and are driven to tackle challenges, find solutions and make the financial space better for the communities we serve.

Our team is passionate about challenging the status quo of the credit industry by providing people accessible tools to take control of their credit. Executing on our mission requires deep collaboration across our teams to ensure our products reach the people who can benefit from them the most, particularly the 100 million+ Americans who have no or low credit.

We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. To that end, we seek to recruit, develop and retain the most talented people from a diverse candidate pool.

We are seeking an experienced and strategic General Manager / Owner as we expand our Credit & Lending products. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of the fintech industry, strong financial acumen, and a proven track record of managing product profitability. As the P&L Owner, you will be responsible for driving the growth, profitability, and success of one of our Credit & Lending products, ensuring it meets customer needs and market demands.

What you will do:

  • Create and execute strategic plans to drive business growth and market expansion
  • Meet financial targets for the credit or lending product
  • Work closely with Product to test and refine innovations and improvements
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Product, Marketing, Risk, and Operations, to ensure success
  • Continuously monitor and analyze KPIs and financial metrics to make informed, data-driven decisions
  • Maintain expertise in the product’s field, including industry innovations and competitive landscape
  • Ensure adherence to regulatory requirements and industry standards
  • Deliver regular financial and strategic updates to executive leadership

What we want you to have:

  • At least 10 years of experience, including 5 years in business line ownership, product management, financial services, or fintech
  • Demonstrated success in driving business growth and meeting financial targets, with a focus on P&L ownership
  • Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels
  • Excellent strategic thinking and problem-solving abilities, with a proven ability to excel in a fast-paced, dynamic environment while managing multiple priorities
  • Expertise in financial analysis and modeling

Base salary range: $225,000- $250,000 annually. Individual pay is based on factors unique to each candidate, including skill set, experience, and other job-related reasons.

Benefits and Perks:

We have the compensation and benefits you expect. But there's one thing that Self Financial can offer that many companies cannot: we can positively change the world, while making a profit. We are a team of Builders, empowering our customers to build their dreams. We have a Do the Right Thing ethos in all that we do, and we hope you value that approach, too.

Our perks include:

  • Company Equity in the form of Stock Options
