Take your career to new heights working with an amazing company doing next level work in the FinTech industry.

Since 2012, Avant has connected customers to over $5 billion through 800,000 transactions and counting. In 2015, Avant leveraged our expertise and developed Amount as a new solution for banks who wanted to go digital in months instead of years. As an industry-leading technology company, Amount has grown rapidly with customers who collectively manage close to $1T in US assets and are servicing more than 25 million customers. To better align each company for future success Amount and Avant have made the decision to separate, becoming independently operating companies in order to focus each on their long term growth and goals.

Come join an organization with visionary leadership and FinTech disruptors as we continue to reinvent and innovate the consumer lending industry with groundbreaking and savvy solutions!

Do you already work on SaaS or PaaS products? Come try LaaP! (Lending as a Platform). Our Product and Technology teams solve incredibly hard problems daily and help shape an amazing experience for our LaaP partners.

In your role as a Product Manager, you will be responsible for research, development, and implementation of new products and features for our Servicing software. You’ll work closely with Amount’s leadership team, Business Development, Customer Success, Design, Engineering and our external Partners (aka clients) to create project plans for new product features. You will keep all stakeholders in-the-know while the product/feature is being built. Once your product is ready for launch, you will oversee all the training materials and documentation needed to ensure a successful external rollout for Partners and internal rollout for our dev teams.

  • You work well with others and are not afraid to advocate for the importance of your project

What you will do at Amount:

  • Research, Development and Implementation
  • Conduct data-driven analysis of how our users interact with our software.
  • Meet with potential Partners to figure out if one of our existing products would address their pain points (or do we need to build a new product for them)
  • Champion and pitch the ideas that you think are scalable product features that will drive efficiencies across multiple Partners and multiple lines of business to Amount Leadership
  • Meet regularly with Business Development and our Partners to iron out the requirements then work with Design to perfect the UI / UX for new features
  • Write technical specs and work with your technical stakeholders to get your project prioritized
  • Create a product release plan (timing, training, etc) keeping in mind that you have technical and non-technical users and that they’re spread all across the world
  • Document what you built so that future Amount employees and new partners can hit the ground running
  • Help Business Development create sales materials highlighting our product offering

Why you are a fit for Amount:

  • Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative field such as Mathematics, Computer Science, Economics, Finance, Accounting, etc.
  • Highly analytical and organized, detail-oriented, knack for problem-solving, and strong project management skills
  • 2-3 years in project management, product management, or other analytical role
  • SQL and Excel knowledge required, Looker or Tableau knowledge a plus
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Familiarity with Jira, Github, JitBit and other Agile software management tools
  • Familiarity with Typescript, Javascript, Python and/or Ruby a plus. (You don’t need to write it, but being able to read code and understand what it’s doing is a huge plus)
  • Self-confidence, good judgment and the ability to make sound decisions
  • An inquisitive mindset and an openness to do things differently and more efficiently

Why Amount is a fit for you:

- We have a thriving culture and possess an entrepreneurial spirit

- We value, support, and help each other grow
