  • Drive Go-To-Market Excellence Partner with cross-functional teams to launch new products and features, ensuring clear value propositions and aligned enablement for sales, partnerships, and customer success. Create playbooks, messaging frameworks, and sales narratives that help internal teams effectively position Affirm’s value.
  • Create Feedback Systems and Market Insight Loops Build and operationalize structured feedback loops between customer-facing teams (Sales, Success, Merchant Operations) and Product. Translate market, customer, and competitive insights into actionable product and business recommendations. Ensure that insights from merchants, partners, and consumers inform future product strategy and roadmap prioritization.
  • Partner Cross-Functionally to Drive Impact Collaborate with Product and Data teams to synthesize insights from customer data, market trends, and usage analytics to inform strategic decisions. Partner with Communications, Brand, and Investor Relations to ensure consistent messaging across audiences and moments.
  • Represent Affirm Externally Serve as a visible, credible voice of the company — participating in key customer meetings, industry panels, and thought leadership events. Act as a trusted advisor to enterprise partners, communicating Affirm’s innovation roadmap and market vision.

What We Look For

  • 10+ years of experience in Product Marketing, with deep expertise in enterprise, B2B, and payments or commerce ecosystems.
  • Proven ability to translate complex product capabilities into differentiated market narratives.
  • Experience building and leading feedback systems that connect customer insights to product decisions.
  • Strong understanding of merchant and partner ecosystems across retail, commerce, or fintech.
  • Demonstrated success leading go-to-market strategy for enterprise or platform products.
