Senior Product Manager, Card Platform

Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, and they are seeking a Senior Product Manager for their Card Platform team. This role involves owning the strategy and execution for Affirm’s Money Movement and Ledgers, leading the development of critical systems to power funding flows and settlement orchestration across various product lines.

Responsibilities:

• Own and drive the product roadmap for card funding flows, settlement orchestration, ledger posting, and reconciliation, balancing near-term delivery with long-term platform scalability
• Design scalable reconciliation and exception-handling systems that ensure all settlements, disbursements, and funds movements are accurately posted, traceable, and reportable via card ledgers
• Evolve Affirm funding and liquidity orchestration models across multiple capital sources (e.g., consumer balances, treasury accounts, credit facilities) to optimize capital efficiency and program resiliency
• Define and launch new card programs from 0→1, including program account structures, funding mechanics, and reconciliation frameworks, to support expansion into new products, geographies, and channels, in close partnership with issuing banks and processors
• Lead cross-functional execution across Engineering, Finance, Analytics, Legal/Compliance, and Operations to deliver reliable, compliant, and fully traceable money movement and ledger systems
• Address unique funding challenges at the intersection of BNPL and card issuing through platform innovation that improves funding flows, accelerates settlement, and strengthens ledger resilience across card programs
• Serve as a card-issuing domain expert and trusted partner, with deep understanding of processor, issuing-bank, and network interactions, card program economics, and how Affirm’s products operate within that ecosystem
• Measure and improve platform health, defining success metrics such as settlement success rates, reconciliation coverage, exception volumes, and time-to-resolution; establish SLAs, runbooks, and observability for critical money-movement pipelines
• Communicate clearly with senior leaders, presenting insights, tradeoffs, and recommendations that inform strategy and drive company objectives

Requirements:

• 4+ years of product management experience, including ownership of complex, cross-functional software platforms
• Experience working in the card payments ecosystem at a fintech, issuing or acquiring bank, card processor, network, or payments infrastructure company
• Hands-on experience with cardflows and how they interact with ledgers, cash accounts, and reconciliation processes
• Strong understanding of the card issuing and acquiring lifecycle, including familiarity with card network message schemas and how transactions translate into issuer–acquirer message flows across the lifecycle
• Proven ability to influence stakeholders and partner closely with Engineering, Finance, and external partners on funding strategy, accounting alignment, cash tracking, and reconciliation workflows
• Demonstrated ability to operate in ambiguity, synthesize incomplete inputs, and drive execution from concept through launch
• Comfort working with technical systems (APIs, files, schemas) and translating complex financial flows into precise product requirements
• This position requires either equivalent practical experience or a Bachelor's degree in a related field
