  • Distill customer insights and partner feedback into clear product requirements and strategic recommendations.
  • Represent Pagaya's product vision with credibility and impact in executive and external discussions.
  • Culture & Collaboration

  • Serve as a role model for product excellence - combining analytical depth, curiosity, and executional discipline.
  • Drive a culture of collaboration, accountability, and innovation across Product, Engineering, and Business teams.
  • Mentor emerging PMs and cross-functional partners to elevate product thinking and strategic rigor.
  • Requirements

  • 10+ years of progressive product management experience, including time in high-growth fintech or consumer lending environments (e.g., SoFi, Affirm, or similar).
  • Proven success driving strategy and execution for complex, multi-stakeholder products - ideally within lending, banking, or credit ecosystems.
  • Strong executive presence and communication skills, with the ability to influence at all levels and synthesize complex ideas clearly.
  • Deep technical fluency - able to engage confidently with engineering and data teams on architecture, scalability, and trade-offs.
  • Demonstrated ability to operate as a strategic IC : self-directed, detail-oriented, and able to move seamlessly between strategy and execution.
  • Analytical and data-driven mindset with a disciplined approach to decision-making and prioritization.
  • Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree preferred.
  • Based in or able to regularly travel to New York City.
  • The pay ranges for New York-based hires are commensurate with candidate experience.
