Dave is the finance version of David and Goliath taking on the big banks. A financial friend to the millions of Americans who use the app, Dave helps with budgeting, building credit, finding work and accessing money to cover immediate expenses before payday. Instead of mandatory fees, Dave lets users pay what they think is fair through a ‘tip’ based model. Dave users plant a tree for each % tip they leave when taking an advance, resulting in tens of millions of trees planted.

We are choosing to build a quality team vs a large team. You will be a formative part of our company culture moving forward. To that point, we want someone that can take ownership of a project from beginning to end and can do it on their own. We’ll be there to support you but not hold your hand.

Sure, we’ve checked all the boxes you’d expect from a fast-moving startup, but the best thing we can offer you is a supportive environment for learning and opportunities for personal/professional growth.

Our team is looking for a Technical Product Manager to join our Platform product area. This role will focus on maintaining, developing, launching new services in Dave’s core platform that is currently used by over 4 million people. You will help us mature our current platform and facilitate the development of new, innovative features.

Executing on this will require strong qualitative and quantitative research abilities, with a creative mindset and a holistic approach to product management. You’ll work iteratively to ship and test features, partnering closely with User Research, Data Science, and Engineering to help improve our members’ relationship with money.

Responsibilites:

• Communicate, coordinate, and work closely with product/engineering/design teams to deliver products from the idea phase to our members’ hands.
• Drive product development from small features to entirely new services.
• Act as a bridge between the Core Platform product area and the rest of the customer-facing teams.
• Deeply understand the needs and behaviors of our users, and generate actionable insights through qualitative and quantitative research to drive product strategy.
• Articulate user stories, requirements, define business value, and identify success metrics for our existing/new services.
• Prepare business cases and models that justify the feature development decisions.
• Work on the definition and reporting of relevant KPIs to continually optimize technical and financial performance for our business.
• Collaborate with Data Science and Engineering to launch new experiments that help to improve our current systems.
• Gather and manage product feedback through surveys, concept testing, analytics tools, and A/B testing.
• Work with the team to monitor the competitive and industry landscape, keeping up-to-date with essential market advancements.

In the first 30 days, you will:

• Ask the right questions both to our team members and our customers to gain a strong understanding of Dave and our customer experience.
• Work with Engineering to better understand the current systems in place for our Core product.
• Use our business intelligence toolkit to develop actionable insights that deliver maximum value for our members.
• Foster working relationships with Engineering and current PM’s to understand our development process.
• Ship several small features.

In the first 90 days, you will:

• Own the product development lifecycle for your team with a prioritized roadmap, clear milestones, and weekly development cycles.
• Develop launch plans by defining milestones and roadmap for your team, scoping/prioritizing features, coordinating timing with other business activities, managing backlogs, and estimating work. 
• Define and maintain critical KPIs to monitor to maximize member satisfaction, engagement, retention, and revenue.
• Develop and deploy your own larger feature sets that maximize user and business value and report on their success.

• 2-3+ years of work experience as a Product Manager or equivalent experience
