About Cloudvirga

Cloudvirga is a FinTech startup that is disrupting the lending industry with an intelligent consumer point of sale platform.

What You’ll Do

The Senior Product Manager of the iMP Platform will be responsible for defining and communicating the strategic path of both current and future offerings and features with regards to consumers and loan originators within our solutions. The Senior Product Manager will be engaged in the day-to-day decisions regarding product development and product releases including managing features and initiatives through the development cycle as well as working with other internal stakeholders to achieve revenue and profit goals.

What You'll Need

We’re looking for a strategic thinker, a customer champion and a proven leader with incredibly strong communication, collaboration and business management skills and ultimately a team-player who focuses on results. You must possess a unique blend of business and technical savvy, a big-picture vision, and the drive and know how to make that vision a reality through the creation of requirements and user stories that you shepherd through development process. 

Your role is to sit down with our potential and existing lender customers and understand their problems and hear about their ideas. You’ll transform those learnings into a market-validated product plan that addresses both their issues as well as those of the actual consumer borrower and loan originator. You’ll then work closely with our UX design team to turn those plans into designs, requirements and ultimately delivered features and functionality.  Throughout this process you will be looked to as the business owner and domain expert and be expected to determine clear prioritization and appropriate trade-offs regarding implementation issues based upon understanding constraints, dependencies, costs, resources and customer benefits.
