About the Role
Self is seeking a Principal Product Manager to define the strategy and direction for its core credit building product. This is a company-level ownership role where you will partner with executive leadership to shape the future of the Credit Building portfolio, influencing engineering, risk, compliance, and go-to-market strategies. The ideal candidate is a builder with strong product fundamentals and the judgment to operate independently, diagnose problems, size opportunities, and make critical decisions. You will set product craft standards and influence PMs across the organization, demonstrating fluency in regulated environments, leveraging AI in product management workflows, and building cross-functional trust.
Responsibilities
- Own the Credit Building vertical's product strategy, partnering with leadership to shape portfolio-level bets, balancing growth, profitability, customer experience, and regulatory compliance
- Own KPIs and P&L for the Credit Building vertical and shape Self's point of view on the competitive landscape in FinTech and consumer credit
- Translate strategy into a prioritized roadmap and clear requirements for your engineering team
- Act as a mentor and multiplier for PMs across the department
- Use quantitative and qualitative data (A/B testing, SQL, usability studies, survey data) to form and test hypotheses
- Build a shared, evidence-backed vision that earns buy-in at the executive level
- Partner deeply with Risk, Compliance, Engineering, Design, Analytics, Marketing, and Operations by leading through influence
- Define how AI-assisted workflows (research synthesis, spec drafting, data exploration, prototyping) get adopted across the product organization
Requirements
- 10+ years as a Product Manager, with a track record of owning strategy for a core product with company-level business impact (ideally B2C)
- Demonstrated ability to build cross-functional alignment and drive outcomes at the executive level without formal authority
- Ability to move fluently between strategic and detailed product questions
- Experience operating inside a regulated or compliance-heavy environment (fintech, banking, healthcare, insurance, payments, or similar)
- Credit/lending experience is a plus, not a requirement
- Fluency using AI tools as part of the modern PM workflow (research, writing, data analysis, prototyping), with experience helping other PMs adopt them
- Strong analytical skills, including SQL competence and hands-on experience with data analysis tools
- Must successfully pass a background check
- Must be a U.S. Citizen or Green Card Holder
