The impact you'll make in this role:

Mission Lane is currently seeking a dynamic Product Manager to play a pivotal role in propelling Mission Lane to new heights. This position requires a strategic and analytical thinker who can strengthen relationships with our existing customers and help them grow on their financial journeys. In this role, this will be done by improving the terms for customers on their existing products. In 2025 alone, you’ll be working on the strategy and roadmap to increase the credit lines of tens of thousands of customers a month and build programs to test new term upgrades across our customer base!

As a member of our product team, you will be immersed in a culture of continuous discovery, testing, and learning to identify what truly matters. Collaboration is key in this role, as you will work closely with various teams throughout the organization, including engineering, credit, and customer insights, to gain insights into priorities, universal capability needs, and competitive advantages. Your primary responsibilities will include shaping the product roadmap and delivering impactful results. If you are looking to make a significant and lasting impact, this opportunity is tailor-made for you.

As the Product Manager, you will be:

• A thought leader for the company - innovating and driving exceptional experiences for our customers
• A critical part of the Product team, building out the strategy and roadmap
• Creative and driven to achieve results through outside the box thinking
• Driving results focused on quality customer experience, the growth of our business, operational efficiency, and risk mitigation 
• Working closely with stakeholders to deliver in a high quality and high impact manner
• Passionate about delivering fair and clear credit to our customers
• Flexible enough to cross traditional job definition lines (we're a startup, so you will wear more than just a PM hat)

To set you up for success in this role from day one, Mission Lane is looking for candidates who have:

• 2+ years of product management experience or 4+ years of consulting experience
• Experience defining and influencing roadmaps which optimize enterprise value against customer, business, and technology problems
• A strong bias toward action and a proven track record of delivering minimum viable products to market at rapid speed
• Persistence and creative ‘get it done’ approach to ensure successful outcomes for your product, our customers, our employees, and our company
• Willingness to take big swings which can (and should!) have massive impacts on our trajectory
• Excellent communication skills to lead and inspire teams and leadership
• A structured problem-solving approach to help a team work through a wide range of issues
• Intellectual curiosity for emerging technologies and engineering challenges
• Ability to actively seek out multiple opinions, yet make independent decisions and influence positive outcomes

You get bonus points for experience or knowledge in the fintech and/or other regulated space as well as a strong quantitative background.

About Mission Lane:

Founded in December 2018, Mission Lane is a purpose-driven fintech company based in the U.S., with headquarters in Richmond, Virginia. 

It all started with a realization:  nearly fifty percent of the adult population in the U.S. doesn’t have access to a clear line of credit. Most traditional credit card companies either overlook or overcharge this group because they have less-than-perfect credit scores or no scores at all. We decided this just wouldn’t do.

In partnership with our sponsor banks, we offer credit cards under the Mission Lane brand name, with better, clearer terms, and a more refined customer experience than the alternatives available to people working hard to improve their credit.

To date, over three million consumers have chosen Mission Lane, earning high customer ratings on Credit Karma for its market segment and industry leading Net Promoter scores. 

Mission Lane has cumulatively raised over $600 million of equity from leading investors, including Invus Opportunities, QED Investors, LL Funds, funds affiliated with Oaktree Capital Management, and other leading investors.
