Job Description

Description

At SoFi, you’ll become part of a new kind of finance company whose ambition is to help our members achieve financial independence and reach their goals. We aim to be at the center of our members’ financial lives, and to help every member get their money right. We created student loan refinancing, addressing the biggest financial challenge of a new generation through a modern approach to lending and personal finance. Next we expanded our products and services across loans, wealth management, and insurance. SoFi Money—a modern take on a checking or savings account--is our newest innovation and disruption to the financial services industry. SoFi has achieved significant growth, with ambitious plans ahead, but to continue this growth we need great talent. And that starts with you.
As a Principal Product Manager, you will own the Member Home Feed of SoFi which is the center spoke of our experience. Our mission at SoFi is to help get our member’s money right, and we strongly believe that this starts from a Home Feed that is intelligent, timely and relevant. This will entail driving the long-term product and content strategy, vision, and roadmap, especially working together with all products and disciplines across SoFi.

Building a central hub and pivotal experience that enables our members to get their money right is no easy task. In order to do this, we strongly believe that in addition to building the best financial products (ie. checking, savings, loans, investment, etc.), we need a Member Home that can organize all content, tasks, intelligence, and community interactions and weave it into a coherent, trustworthy and engaging experience. Not only do we need to surface the right content and the right time, but establish trust and delight in helping customers get their money right.

Today, no such product or experience in the world exists where they bring together every aspect of a customer’s financial life and craft an experience that genuinely cares about the long term success of the customer. The ideal candidate will vision and optimize for the long run, efficiently communicate the larger picture to the team and company, and flex between cutting edge artificial intelligence (AI) and content strategy.
