Money Canvas is on a mission to help improve financial health in America. We are a free money coaching program that empowers people to take control of their money and build healthier spending and saving habits. The program is human-delivered, digitally enabled, grounded in behavioral psychology, and offered as a package of three one-on-one virtual sessions. Money Canvas has served over 13.5K households while maintaining an all-time NPS of 87.
As the Manager of Product on Money Canvas’ Coaching Experiences (CX) team, you will lead the evolution of our core coaching experience to improve users’ learning, behavioral, and financial outcomes. Our CX team is central to our mission, providing exceptional and delightful on-screen experiences to thousands of users while enabling our coaches to do the same. You will define the vision, roadmap, and strategy for a suite of products that help people visualize, learn about, and change their financial behaviors. You will oversee two product areas: (1) our core webapp experience, used by Money Canvas coaches to facilitate sessions with users, and (2) an emerging self-service experience for Money Canvas users to re-engage with content and concepts in between sessions. You will own the entire product lifecycle—from idea to launch—for an evergreen problem space while discovering, mitigating, and prioritizing dependencies on the in-session experience and other product areas, helping to build a new user journey from the ground up.
This role is unique in that it requires you to think like a systems designer and define and own business outcomes like a product leader. As the ideal candidate, you have demonstrated success launching and leading consumer-facing products that deepen user engagement and satisfaction or reinforce healthy behaviors. You balance a scrappy, entrepreneurial mindset with experience navigating complex, scaled environments and have a proven ability to translate customer and competitive insights into product strategy. You bring a user-centric approach, a bias for action, and a deep understanding of what it takes to build a seamless, scalable, and delightful core user experience. Experience with human service/delivery models or in the educational/coaching space is a strong plus; design fluency is a must.
You also care deeply about people and are committed to championing a culture of care, inclusivity, accountability, and continuous experimentation and learning.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
