Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest. This role involves owning the end-to-end bank product and operationalizing a new bank charter within Affirm's ecosystem.
Responsibilities:
- Own the end-to-end bank product. Serve as the single-threaded product owner across deposits, loan originations, banking compliance, and operations. You are the person who holds the full picture of how the bank works within Affirm's ecosystem — and you drive it forward
- Launch and own the bank’s deposit product. Ship Affirm’s bank deposit offering as part of launch, then own the deposit product roadmap on a go-forward basis – scaling from early launch to a multi-billion-dollar deposit base, making strategic decisions about how deposits integrate with Affirm's credit products and broader consumer experience
- Operationalize the de novo bank build. Drive the cross-functional work required to stand up and scale bank operations — ensuring regulatory readiness, process maturity, vendor integrations, and seamless connectivity with Affirm's existing lending and money movement infrastructure
- Drive originations through the bank entity. Shape how Affirm originates and retains loans through its own bank, working closely with Credit, Capital Markets, Engineering, and Treasury to optimize volume ramp, unit economics, loan sale and retention mechanics, and regulatory compliance
- Navigate banking compliance and regulatory requirements. Partner with Legal, Compliance, Risk, and the Bank's executive team to ensure all products and operations meet federal and state regulatory standards. Build compliance into the product from day one — not as an afterthought. Understand the unique demands of a de novo bank under FDIC and state supervision
- Integrate the bank deposit product into Affirm's consumer ecosystem. Define clear domain boundaries, design requirements for new data flows, and integration points between the bank and Affirm Inc. — working across Servicing, Settlements, Consumer Payments, Checkout, and Growth teams to ensure the bank's products work seamlessly within the Affirm app and platform
- Influence up and across the organization. Communicate strategy, tradeoffs, and priorities to senior leadership and the Bank Board with clarity and conviction. Build alignment across a broad set of stakeholders — Engineering, Legal, Compliance, Treasury, Capital Markets, and executive leadership — who each bring different constraints and incentives
