Senior Product Manager, Financial Reporting

Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, and they are seeking a Senior Product Manager to drive the product roadmap for financial reporting infrastructure. This role involves overseeing the end-to-end journey of financial data, collaborating closely with engineering, accounting, and finance teams to ensure compliance and operational efficiency.

Responsibilities:

• Own the financial reporting product roadmap: subledgers, standardized accounting-event interface, journal-entry flows, GL/ERP integrations, and reconciliation tooling
• Work with Engineering to define subledger patterns and the Accounting ↔ Engineering interface: accounting-event schemas, API contracts, domain boundaries, and migration strategies for operational systems to adopt the standard
• Translate accounting policy and audit requirements into product specs, posting logic, SOX controls, and implementable engineering requirements
• Lead matching/reconciliation strategy and automation: run vendor evaluations, define recon rules and ownership, and deliver reconciliation automation for high-volume, critical accounts
• Own data lineage, quality metrics, SLAs, monitoring, and remediation flows for critical reports and journal feeds
• Run product discovery, prioritization, and cross-functional programs: scope pilots, set success metrics, manage tradeoffs, and deliver production systems with Engineering, Accounting, and Finance
• Drive governance and change management: coordinate Accounting, Finance, Product and Engineering; own go-to-production signoffs, runbooks, and stakeholder training

Requirements:

• 4+ years product management experience owning financial platforms or data products — responsible for roadmap, APIs, data models, and cross-functional delivery
• Practical accounting experience required: hands-on accounting experience with direct ownership of month-end close, reconciliations, and external audits
• Proven track record of building and working knowledge of financial systems, subledger → GL flows, journal-entry design, reconciliations, SOX controls, and external audit processes
• Strong technical fluency — data models, ETL/DBT, SQL, and API design — and the ability to partner tightly with engineering and data teams on lineage and transformations
• Exceptional communicator and cross-functional influencer: translates accounting requirements into technical specs, drives consensus across Finance & Engineering, and presents tradeoffs to senior leaders
• Willingness to work East Coast hours
• Bachelor's or Master's in Accounting, Finance, Computer Science, or other related fields; or equivalent practical experience
• CPA preferred
• Practical domain expertise is more important than the credential alone
