Product Lead, Buy Now Pay Later

It all started with an idea at Block in 2013. Initially built to take the pain out of peer-to-peer payments, Cash App has gone from a simple product with a single purpose to a dynamic ecosystem, developing unique financial products, including Afterpay/Clearpay, to provide a better way to send, spend, invest, borrow and save to our 50+ million monthly active customers. We want to redefine the world's relationship with money to make it more relatable, instantly available, and universally accessible.
Today, Cash App has thousands of employees working globally across office and remote locations, with a culture geared toward innovation, collaboration and impact. We've been a distributed team since day one, and many of our roles can be done remotely from the countries where Cash App operates. No matter the location, we tailor our experience to ensure our employees are creative, productive, and happy.
The Role
The consumer lending product team at Cash App is responsible for products including Cash App Borrow, Afterpay on Cash App Card, and post-purchase Afterpay. Our work focuses on building a more inclusive and transparent credit system powered by advanced ML models.
97M Americans have no credit history or are subprime (300-600 credit score). These individuals often struggle to make ends meet, and rely on predatory products like payday or pawn shop loans. At Cash App Lending, we offer alternatives that are far cheaper, simpler, and straightforward. The results speak for themselves: We have more than doubled over the last 12 months, lending ~$18B annually.

We're looking for someone to lead key components of our BNPL product strategy and growth. This role has significant direct business impact and executive exposure visibility, and is a critical priority for the company.
You Will

• Think / execute like a "GM" - this role has significant business & customer impact, and you will wear many hats.
• Drive cross functional and executive alignment around a vision and roadmap.
• Partner with the ML team to maximize access to credit within risk loss constraints.
• Partner with design and engineering to build a simple and delightful UX.
• Partner with legal and compliance to keep us in good standing with our regulators.
• Partner with other product teams to ensure your launches fit cohesively within our broader product portfolio.

You Have

• Proven track record of building and shipping medium - large product changes, where you drove key elements of the product and business strategy.
• You spike on both business and design: You'll drive decisions with significant PnL impact while holding a high bar for customer experience, in partnership with ML, Finance, and Design teams.
• Strong analytical abilities: ideally you've worked on ML or data-heavy products in the past, and are excellent at using data to make strategic decisions.
• Strong communication skills - in order to be successful, you will need to summarize complex concepts succinctly for broad audiences to drive decisions.
• High raw throughput and hunger to learn - triumphs (almost) everything else.
